I swear they only do this as a distraction to keep their base angry while the GOP denies bills that'd actually help their voter base.  
I remember they were so fixated on M&Ms, trans folk using the bathroom, and the sex of a potato last year.  
During that year, the GOP denied additional help to vets, denied capping the price of insulin, denied a oil price gouging bill, denied aid towards baby formula during a shortage, and denying any sort of gun control.
Im thankful the Bible bashers now have lil nas x and Sam smith pulling their attention away from the metal community >

The metal community has done the heavy lifting for decades. We owe them a debt of gratitude. >

The metal community crawled and walked through glass so lil Nas X and Sam Smith could run. >

Cue the mental image of Kerry King passing a relay baton to Lil Nas X >

I feel Rob Halford would be more appropriate than Kerry King. >

Rob Halford hasn't put the thing down yet, dude's still making albums with Judas Priest. Firepower was solid as fuck.
Dee Snyder likewise still going on his solo projects, although Twisted Sister have packed it in as a band now.
Actually, most all of the big contenders are still going, now that I think about it. Metal doesn't pay well enough for an early retirement. >

Dee Snyder is a bad ass I love the clips of him testifying in front of Nancy Regan >

It was Tipper Gore but yeah the PMRC hearings were amazing. Dee was clearly there to be the whipping boy but he brought receipts. That said, John Denver's testimony is what brought the whole thing crashing down. They thought he was gonna fall in line with them and he compaired the whole thing to Nazi book burnings. Watch the clips of him and Frank Zappa if you haven't already. Zappa insinuating that Gore was a sexual deviant is absolutely amazing. >


Zappa insinuating that Gore was a sexual deviant is absolutely amazing. 

Dee did that too, pointing out that his song was literally just about having anxiety before a surgery, and Tipper interpreted it as being about extreme BDSM because she wanted it to be. >

1980s called, they want their pretend fear of satanic costumes back. >

No shit, are they really gonna try and bring this back? >

Not like they have anything else on their agenda that the people want or like lol. 
When in doubt, just pander to the evangelical vote. They'll always be there to act as the GOP's comfort blankie when things aren't going their way. >


Not like they have anything else on their agenda...

Except;

Block student loan relief
Look for Hunter's laptop
Obsess over M&Ms
Keep 28 time Olympic gold medalist in rhythmic gymnastics, George Santos in office
Obstruct everything
Possibly bring the country to financial ruin by messing with the debt ceiling

There's s lot more but I try to ignore there dog and pony shit show. >

Don't forget mandatory reporting of under-age girls' menstruation cycles. >

And making sure black history is never taught to anyone. >

Don't you mean that they don't want the actual WHITE history being taught?
The black population weren't the ones making the history, they were being run over by it. >

I mean, Black people did a lot of things for the whole country and for the world, despite all the white supremacy and imperialism. And they also played a key role in ending their own servitude. Plus the obvious leadership in the ongoing civil rights movement.
In fact, I would argue that the history of Black politics in this country is pushing us to become the free country we have always claimed we are.
Right wingers don't want any of that taught (or properly contextualized) either. >

I agree and understand that they've done tremendous good for the country. I was just being snarky. >

I can worship the devil if I want to. It's actually my first amendment right. >

You can leave your saints behind.  Cuz the saints don't dance, and if they don't dance, well they're no saints of mine. >

It's the Satan Dance >

This needs to be remixed and mashed with NIN Closer. >

Cruz wants to fuck you like a demagogue...
Hoo hoo.. >

He wants to regulate your insides. >

He wants to fuck you like an M&M!
His whole existence is flawed. >

He brings me further from god!! >

Does anyone on this thread have the number for Weird Al’s agent?   I’d love to have him write a cover based on this … >

Is "worshiping Satan" still a no no like it was in the 80s and 90s? Why are Republicans going to the fear playbook of the Stranger Danger years. The memo has been updated to being affraid of drag queens now. >

Because they occasionally like to "play the classics" too. Next up, Video Games Are Turning Kids Violent. After that, Playing D&D Is Satan Worship. Also, Reading Harry Potter Teaches Kids Witchcraft.
(On the latter, I wish that was true. Do you know how useful a simple summoning charm would be if you could cast it in real life?) >

That isn’t satire is it… >


that one had a whole (shitty) movie made of it!

You mean Mazes and Monsters? Tom Hank's first lead role?
I remember seeing that as a kid, who played D&D, thinking that movie was insane. 
I live in Seattle and we have an underground tour that goes through a part of Pioneer Square that was built on top of after downtown burned down in the later 1800s. I remember going down there on a class trip, having a scene where Tom Hanks is in like full armor in the sewers pop into my head, and just laughing like a maniac. 
The tour guide was pissed, I think he thought I was dicking around with my friends. >

Mazes and Monsters was based on a real disappearance, and some woman’s speculation that it had to do with D&D. The whole thing is pretty ghoulish tbh. >

Republicans of Reddit, do you ever get sick of your representatives being so pathetic? >

Being a conservative sounds so exhausting. It’s just a string of outrage over checks notes M&Ms, the Grammys, and other fun things >

It's just 24/7 non-stop outrage.
