The specifics of fluoride are low stakes.
The general idea of the government medicating the people writ large isn't low stakes.
In the US there are a lot of people who are of the opinion the government should just let people be.
Are those the people voting for the "have the government put restrictions on trans people" party?
I have a feeling it's not about "letting people be". It's about "let me be and screw over those I don't like"
If you live in the US, you'll meet a lot of genuinely good people on both sides of the more/less government debate.
Anyone who thinks this is a straightforward issue is dumb, frankly.
I'm just confused how parties that advocate for small government(in the US and Canada) seem to simultaneously target the rights of minorities.
How can the issue people are concerned with be government overreach if they don't care about the government overreaching into others backyards?
