The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

Why So Many Conservatives Are Talking About ‘Grooming’ All Of A Sudden (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-so-many-conservatives-are-talking-about-grooming-all-of-a-sudden/)

Had to look up this grooming scare stuff because honestly it sounds like such laughable bullshit it can't be actually real and sure enough it's not

But what’s being normalized here isn’t grooming; it’s the use of homophobic rhetoric and conspiracy theory language. And it’s intended not to protect children but to advance political causes and slander political enemies.

I am ok with dismissing anyone associating themselves to the total crock of shit that Q is.

You don't think that at the very least her character should be questioned? She's backing conspiracy theories and outright lies.

You didn't question her character, you posted 1 link and labeled her a wacko. That sounds like a final conclusion, not a question.

Have you researched her character or past or policies before posting that link? How did you even come across it?

I haven't either, but I don't see a wacko based on what little I have read.

It's crazy how fast these terms spread. Never heard the term until maybe a couple months ago. Now you see it all the time.

Very hard to have a normal conversation on what we think is best for our children in this country.

I don't have to research her character or policies, if she is ok with aligning herself with dangerous conspiracy theories and lies, I'm ok with calling her a wacko.

Call me unreasonable, but if parents want to take their kids to drag shows or playtime outside of school…more power too them…but I still don’t understand drag queens at public elementary schools?

Explain how this is ok

Maybe pro-lifer or second admendent folks in elementary schools reading to children…that’s cool too?

Just seems like leave sex, identity. Politics out of elementary school would be something we could agree too

Better drag queens than guns that's for sure.

Why does it matter if a drag queen or big bird reads to kids? Do the kids really care?

Seems like it boils down to homophobic ignorant parents.

This country's hangups when it comes to sexuality is so weird. A drag queen reading to your kid isn't going to turn them gay no more than big bird turning kids into big yellow birds.

Fair enough. :food-smil

I'm shocked I wasn't able to change your mind 1%.

That makes about 0 for 1,003,112 times with any democrat in all of these threads.

Maybe next time!

Would you be ok voting for a Q supporter?

To me it's like someone saying they are a flat earth believer, my opinion of that person would immediately plummet.

Q is some straight up crazy bullshit

American conspiracy theories are entering a dangerous new phase. (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/06/qanon-nothing-can-stop-what-is-coming/610567/)

If I was voting in that race, I would have voted for her.

If she turned into some full on, the only thing she pushes is that stuff, then I wouldn't vote to re-elect her.

But it would be a case by case basis. I don't see her as being some crazy fringe candidate. That doesn't mean that I would vote for anyone that supported it, because they might be.

Why? It’s inappropriate. Because it’s fucking school and an elementary age school children. It shouldn’t be on the curriculum, they are too young. Why do fucking gays or trans want to tell young children about their sex? Seriously fuck off with that.

This is really the hill? That identity and sex to elementary age school kids? Drag queens should be in elementary school…that’s progress and norms.

On top of that we can see the trans trend. It’s not normal or organic. It’s happening of the coast in liberal, urban areas. Older folks aren’t changing their identity suddenly as this is acceptable. This is t happening across the world, it’s isolated.
