Always tackling the important issues
We should push to ban youth beauty pageants and see how they react. >

While we're at it, ban halftime shows and cheerleader routines at football games.  Some of them are FAR more sexualized than any all-ages drag show. >

While we’re at it, the next step would be to ban women from being in public without wearing a burka. /s >

Ah yes, the small government party! >

Republicans believe in freedom. Freedom for you to do what they tell you to, or else!!! >

If they gain enough power, you can bet on this becoming the norm. >

Ah yea, because THIS is what is gonna help us. >

Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying you don't understand how this will improve the quality of life of the average struggling  American? 
​
/s >

The Party of personal liberty, folks >

Yes, but not YOUR personal liberty, only white, straight, Evangelical/Baptist/Whatever Protestant Demnomination freedom. >

Sounds about white… >

more GOP solutions to problems that don't exist. >

The only men wearing dresses that children should be wary of are the clergy. >

10/10 >

people need to start using these laws to squash the perverted "toddlers & tiaras" child beauty pageants out of existence. >

But if we don't teach girls from a young age that they exist to be sex objects for gross old men, how will they learn?! (/s) >

Restricting free speech? Yep, it’s a core Republican value I guess. >

Republicans before the election: the economy is falling apart under Biden. Elect us and we will try to fix it.
Republicans after the election: okay, so first things first, we need to outlaw men wearing makeup and reading children's books at brunch because they're perverts! Then we need to show everyone a bunch of pictures of Hunter Biden's penis for reasons! Then we'll crash the economy by not moving the debt ceiling. >

Drag was hugely popular in Berlin in the early 20th century. 
You can guess who then banned it in the 1930’s.
Two sides of the same coin. >

The most dangerous thing you may encounter at a drag show is the possibility of a Republican murdering you with a gun. >

or a Christian murdering everyone with a gun >

Redundant .. >

Yes but have they made M&Ms sexy again yet? >

We cannot rest until America is once again the place where Tucker Carlson can freely masturbate to an M&M's shoes. >

Plot twist: Green M&M was actually just Red M&M in drag all along! >

How can anyone look at this and be like “Yep. You know what, drag shows are the #1 problem in the US right now. Fuck inflation and gun control and inequality and all that other dumb shit. It’s 100% drag shows.”?
Just another classic case of conservatives fear mongering dipshit voters into believing in issues that don’t really exist.
Like wtf… fuck the GOP forever >

They're both disingenuous and devoid of scruples, that's how! >

I imagine most of them have literally never even learned the word "scruples" >

I’m a girl who likes boys but I love drag shows. They’re so fun and fabulous and over the top and I love the confidence and beauty and talent showcased. Why do these people have to kill something so positive and harmless? Why don’t they just not take their kids to drag shows? How can it even be possible to ban these shows? Why can’t private citizens just dress up and be fierce and awesome? 
There’s a lot of terrible laws being passed and good things being blocked and overturned and the whole world is crazy and fighting and awful. Eggs are $13/dozen and it cost me $500 to heat and light my home last month. Just please let me have men in stiletto boots and corsets, it’s my last remaining joy. What do they want everyone to do with all of our no money if we can’t enjoy a drag show or read non approved books or access reproductive care so we can have sex? Just sit around and read the Bible? I’m sad now and I’m gonna go watch drag queens give women makeovers to look like men in drag before it’s too late and that’s gone too. >

I have been to drag shows, and they are indeed fun!  It's all a show, entertainment with comedic acts, singing performance and plays, etc. >

Party of freedom y'all >

When the issue is LGBTQ discussions in school, conservatives act like their only concern is parents' rights.  "I just think a child's parents should get to decide when and how they're introduced to LGBTQ topics, not their teachers."
Then, when the issue is voluntary drag shows that nobody is forced to attend, those same conservatives suddenly insist that parents shouldn't even have the right to bring their kids.
Let's just talk about the elephant in the room:
The people fighting tooth and nail against drag shows and LGBTQ representation in schools are terrified of their kids being comfortable with queer people.  They're terrified of their kids spending time around gay, nonbinary, or transgender people and realizing that they're perfectly decent human beings whose sexuality and gender identity don't pose a threat to anybody.  In short, they're terrified of their kids realizing that the bigoted stuff they've been taught at home about queer people is all a lie.  THAT'S what this is about.  Not parents' rights, not grooming - it's about homophobic parents being TERRIFIED that their kids are going to grow up to be more accepting than they are. >

Of all the things to care about in 2023. >

So they're restricting George Santos? >

Seems unconstitutional >

All of this crap that Republicans are doing highly unconstitutional.  But no one is suing over all these laws and restrictions.  People should be suing.  Take it to the courts dammit! >

Very reassuring to see the GQP tackling those serious issues which affect Americans, everyday!  Way to go! >

Remember when conservatives in the 50's and 60's were obsessed with socialists and communists ruining our children/country? 
Remember when they said in the 70's that liberals and hippies would ruin our children/country?  
Remember in the 80's when conservatives said drugs would ruin our children/country?
Remember in the 90's when conservatives said rap music would ruin our children/country? 
Remember in the 00's when conservatives said terrorists would ruin our children/country? 
Remember in the 10's when conservatives said immigrants would ruin our children/country? 
What's odd is, none of these supposed monsters and monstrous ideas ever did. Funny, eh? >

Tbf the war on drugs did ruin millions of lives and certain communities have never recovered. >

Tbf the US govt helped supply some of the very bad drugs that blew apart cities. Watched crack takeover Detroit in 80s, only to find out decades later that the CIA was involved in bringing it into our country in volume. Sad. >

Finally this cross country scourge of drag shows in front of children will finally end! \s
America used to be the land of the free and the home of the brave. Now it's the land of the restricted and home of the snowflake. >

What the actual fuck? >

"Last call for alcohol. 
Last call for your freedom of speech." >

The must fear monger to middle America to get votes. And they ALWAYS prey upon vulnerable minority groups. Sick f*cks. >

But.....freedom. >

Oh. That’s why we had “inflation” then?  Because they said that’s what they were going to fix. Right? /s >

Not saying they're closeted bigots... but that's something closeted bigots would do. >

Closeted? >

The bigotry is not closeted. Their repressed sexuality is what is closeted. >

This very inexplicably turns me on, therefore it's pornographic! >

Thank God, I was wondering how they were gonna make gas and eggs more affordable. This will certainly fix that. >

They are so focused on the priorities it's astounding.  Never say that Republicans don't put Country before party. These are true heros, doing the hard work. 
​
please no one say you need this /s >

Ah yes…. I guess too many pedo priests need a new scapegoat. >

for decades they keep saying that we have an increase in crime
the truth is that we dont have an increase in crime
what he have is government making more and more things a crime
basically its been a war on the left by the right
a way to fill our for profit slave labor prisons which replaced our for profit slave labor camps after jim crow they had to come up with a way to get slave workers. this is what they came up with
its all because at the end of slavery we needed a way to continue slavery
so we came up with jim crow and when that fail we came up with the war on crime
all for same reason our need for slave labor >

That's also why they want forced birth- surplus population is largely put in the prison pipeline. >

There's plenty of toilet paper available now. You don't have to wipe your ass with the constitution. >

Republicans: "but it feels soo goood" >

Gotta love legislation by fad. >

If they put this much energy into shit that could actually benefit society, Muerica would absolutely be #1. >

Election next year. They are picking sides and pandering >

Not if George Santos has any say. >

Glad to see them working on real pressing issues /s >

It is hard to imagine that our country is so screwed up that anyone cares about this or considers it an issue. >

Good to see consistent messaging about cancel culture.  /s >

This scourge of awkward boners must be stopped >

Climate change, Russia, China...nope its drag shows we need to focus on. Good job Republicans. >

They talk about the sanctity of individual freedoms while they attack them and fail to do any actual governing. I grew up thinking and have always thought that freedom in the USA meant that you don't have to like what someone is saying or doing but as long as they aren't inflicting harm on others, they have a right to do it. Republicans are absolute demons in the USA and how anyone can support them at all just blows my mind. >

More Big Govt Republicans!!!! >

This is cancel culture, right? >

Except for their drag queens in Congress 🤪 >

Well, that's a highly qualified, virtuous freshman congress person. >

Her performance so far has been, well, the opposite of fabulous…. >

So, no more Shakespeare in the Park? >

But they are the ones being persecuted >

It's so bad UwU. >

Ahh the smell of small government in the morning. >

You've probably never even imagined it could be this small! >

When you complain too much it probably means you indulge. >

Removed the CNN from the title. >

Look out, they'll be banning jugglers and puppeteers and tap dancers next... just so fn silly. >

Welp, kiss Mardi Gras goodbye and no, it's not just celebrated in NOLA, Floriduh too . . . >

I’m curious what they will think/do about Jon Fishman (drummer for Phish) always wearing his dress when he plays.  Where is the line they are going to draw for things to be considered drag? >

Just pandering to the vilest scum, as usual. >

I remember a group of people who are known child abusers trying to indoctrinate me. It was called the sacrament of confirmation. >
