Yes social conservative will be the primary attack vector... it is effectually all they have in the Woke zealot attack book as her being black/female/immigrant wipes out a lot of options. It is funny because she rejects the social conservative label since she views that more as someone who wants to push her religious views onto the country and she has stated she doesn't want to do that.
She could easily fry their brains with a few simple sentences. "Yes, I am a proud social conservative, but I do not plan on pushing my personal beliefs on this country, unlike you, who forces everyone to follow your new woke religion".
How the fuck could they even respond to something like that?
It would be amazing if she went straight at them like that and attacked their Woke religion. It IS a religion and the zealots are pushing it into politics and law because it appeared naturally without traditional organizational structure. It has taken many in society by surprise and even many of its followers don't realize they are religious fanatics. All it takes is claiming to be 'not racist' and everyone just folds 'oh so this is how to not be racist now... but judge everyone by the colour of the skin and have this new "good racism" instead'
