You want to change the symbolic stuff, your focus as to be on workers, jobs, and the economy first. The voters at large do not give a fuck about political correctness, SJW ideology, or fascism. They do give a fuck about being able to eat and provide for their families, though, and that's how you'll win them back.
This isn't just symbolic though, it is the normalization of "confederates and nazis good, gay people bad". It is the indoctrination of children of false information and rewritten history. It is erasure. It is a form of oppression.
I agree that most Republican voters don't care about this stuff much. They won't care about what Trump/Musk regime does until it hurts them directly and plainly.
This issue is still worth fighting and caring about. We are many people, and we can tackle many issues simultaneously. Just because republicans in power are nazis and Republican voters have been successfully manipulated, does not mean we stop fighting. We push back on every injustice.

I get all that.
Not enough people care, and it's because there are bigger problems affecting the majority's lives. That's what liberals need to focus on if they want to have a chance at reversing this. If you want a democracy, you have to worry about the issues affecting the majority at some point and right now they're too busy figuring out how to actually live to care about trans people being mentioned on a sign.
Also, we never gave a shit about civil rights. That's why everyone quickly forgot about Obama's promises to close Gitmo completely and now it's expanding. Fuck everything about what voters want. Fuck everything about this country.
