詹姆斯·塔拉里科抨击共和党人将文化战争作为德克萨斯州参议院竞选的关键部分，认为“毁灭美国的唯一少数群体是亿万富翁。”尤其当我们谈到这个特定话题时，这种过度反应尤为明显——未满18岁接受性别肯定手术的人数仅占0.002%。这根本没有发生在某种人们希望本国公众相信的比率上。这实际上是个非问题。不仅如此，当我们谈到转变、后悔或逆转者时，他们确实存在，但他们是极少数。
James Talarico slammed Republicans for making culture wars a key part of the Texas Senate race, arguing that "the only minority destroying America is the billionaires." OVERREACH ESPECIALLY WHEN WE GET TO THIS TOPIC IN PARTICULAR, THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 18 THAT ARE GETTING GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERIES, IT'S 0.002%. IT IS NOT HAPPENING AT THE RATES THAT SOME PEOPLE WOULD LIKE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY TO BELIEVE. IT'S ESSENTIALLY A NON-ISSUE. UM, NOT ONLY THAT, WHEN WE THINK OF TRANSITION, REGRET, OR DETRANSITIONERS, THEY CERTAINLY HAPPEN, BUT THEY'RE OUTLIERS.
我认为这些极少数被放大，以转移人们对实际影响我们国家的问题的注意力。这正是我如此困扰的原因。我也对这些文化战争的论点感到非常厌倦。我发现令人非常沮丧的是，这已成为对你竞选的核心攻击。我个人认为，立法机构花时间禁止那些实际上并未影响人们的事情，并不是时间的很好使用。
AND I FEEL THAT THERE'S THE AMPLIFICATION OF THESE OUTLIERS TO DETRACT FROM ACTUAL ISSUES THAT ARE IMPACTING OUR COUNTRY. AND THAT'S WHAT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH. I TOO AM VERY I'VE GROWN VERY WEARY OF THESE CULTURE WAR TALKING POINTS. AND, AND I DO FIND IT VERY FRUSTRATING THAT THAT HAS BEEN THE, THE CORE OF THE ATTACKS ON YOUR CAMPAIGN. SO I JUST PERSONALLY FEEL THAT IT'S NOT A VERY GOOD USE OF THE LEGISLATURE'S TIME TO BE INSTITUTING BANS ON THINGS THAT AREN'T REALLY IMPACTING PEOPLE.
我希望当你进入国会时，能让我们重回正轨。>> 好吧，让我告诉你我认为我们在哪些方面有共识。有权势的人正在利用我们社区中的小众群体来转移对他们腐败的注意力。毁灭美国的唯一少数群体是
AND I HOPE THAT WHEN YOU GET TO CONGRESS, THAT YOU'LL GET US BACK ON TRACK. >> WELL, LET ME TELL YOU WHERE WHERE I THINK WE AGREE. POWERFUL PEOPLE ARE USING SMALL MINORITIES IN OUR COMMUNITY TO DISTRACT FROM THEIR CORRUPTION. THE ONLY THE THE, THE, THE ONLY MINORITY DESTROYING AMERICA IS
