There is not a single politician in this world that is centering their campaign around this issue.  

I"m not disputing they're pushing this issue...but when y'all continue to say it's the center of their campaigns then it's a straight lie.  

We may define "lie" differently. But before going there I'd want to know what you mean by "centering" a campaign.

I don't know if there is any politician who makes bathrooms the SOLE issue of a campaign. Most are expected to 
address a range of issues. On the right that would include a stance on gun control, weaponization of gov. and abortion too.

But in addition to rhetoric and campaign speeches, what they "say," there is also what they "do"--where they devote money, time and energy.  

And a lot seem to be proposing and voting on bathroom bills. Far more than Dems proposing "reparation." Perhaps that is an aspect of the war on wokeness you referenced above? 

Anyway, it's understandable that someone viewing our politics from the sunny Mediterranean might see that as a "center" of GOP 
politics at the moment. 

Perhaps we could agree that bathroom laws are a prominent aspect of GOP politics at the moment, to be folded in with other culture
war projects like ridding schools of CRT, which has also taken up much of their legislative oxygen? Maybe less important than
banning abortion, but more important than concealed carry without permits?
