I just want a normal life for my family. I tend to tune out all the cultural war stuff as much as possible.



That's great. I applaud keeping out of it as much as you can.

Just be aware that some people can't tune it out. If one of your children were trans, for example, the culture war would come for you, whether you want it to or not.

Like I said, it's best avoided as much as humanly possible. Just spare a thought for those who can't, and remember that it hurts. Not something you necessarily have to be aware of all the time, but there are times when it matters. Such as at voting time. The political positions in the culture war may not affect your family, but there are many others for whom it does.
