Thank you. Yes, looks like their purpose is to defeat unions and LGBTQ but hidden under “nice titles” like supporting communities, encouraging collaboration etc. So interesting that they target Gays and Trans. I get anti Union- they want to control and keep wealth, But the huge effort to dominate others’ sexuality and gender is confusing. To what end? Is that just to garner support from the Christian Right? Sort of a side effort to ensure success at the polls? Dominating workers rights might not engender as much visceral support? As crushing those who are different than “us”!
It's mostly Dark Money.

"Is that just to garner support from the Christian Right?"
No - it's because they are the Christian right. They are it's preeminent legal force.
