That’s exactly it. That’s why the GOP pushes religion so much. It’s easy to weaponize it in order to manipulate the masses. Think about all the people who send money to televangelists. It’s “believe and do what I say or you’re going to hell” and true believers follow right along.
This was a problem in no one's life five years ago. I just think it's super strange how so many people care about this so much, and how much republican politicians talk about this issue. It really comes across as a "won't someone think of the children" type of scenario. People need to live and let live and not be such crybabies over what other people choose to do with their time. >

This is exactly a moral panic and a distraction from a lack of having any coherent policy or even will to govern. >

They just seem like a bunch of busybodys. It's just never ending temper tantrums. Don't these people know, they can just completely ignore drag shows if they want, and then have a nice a pleasant day themselves. Just seems dumb to get so angry about things that don't matter and don't impact you in anyway. >

Were they just busybodies, that would be something, but they are scapegoating vulnerable minorities, which is a step toward fascism. >

Good, those cars go way too fast, somebody is going to get hurt! Your car shouldn't need a parachute in order to stop! >

"small government" >

Considering that women have the right to wear pants, this basically means that any show at all would be illegal. >

That just means they’ll have to arrest any congressmen that wear blazers or cardigans. >

That should help with those pesky egg prices and inflation! >

They really need to look into Pool Halls next. >

Child beauty pageants, if 'grooming' no longer means keeping hair and nails neatly trimmed. >

But if they ban those, where are Republican legislators going to find their next wives? >

It’s a distraction. Plus they really need to highlight who to hurt so the domestic terrorists know who to go after. Make unconstitutional laws and then place targets on the “violators” so they either get killed or live with the fear that someone is trying to kill them. >


It’s a distraction.

its really depressing how effective it is tho. their base isnt known for nuance or critical thinking
