The cult can stop clutching their pearls about children and Pride [View all]

I'm not for "sexualizing kids", I'm not for turning kids gay, I'm not for turning kids trans. What I am for is kids being taught not to be bigots, reinforced in school, if need be, since kids learn lessons in school that aren't confined to a curriculum and kids can be nasty and mean. I know it was that way when I was a kid, can only imagine how much worse it is in a world where smartphones and social media exist.

Let me preface I have no love loss for Nancy Mace, but amazing she went against the cult leader in pushing for the release of the files and that was all that was needed for the voters of South Carolina to reject her. Yes, I'm sure there are instances of gay people/couples sexually abusing children and they deserve the same penalty a straight person/couple would, doesn't mean they should be shoved in the closet and discriminated against over bad apples.

What people accuse the LGBTQ+ community of being, Epstein clients actually were/many Republicans/MAGA actually are. As far as I'm concerned, Chaya Raichik isn't a crusader for children or parental rights, she's just a partisan hack and a bigot.

It reminds me of one of the many things J6 opened my eyes to - it's not that Blue Lives Matter to these creatures, it's that Black Lives Don't Matter to them. They don't love America, they love the 34x convicted felon.

And I'm supposed to celebrate 250?
