I was a teen in the 80s and i can still fancy a bloke in make up. Its nothing new, if you look through history.
I remain a Christian...(God knows how... Probably because i go by what Jesus taught, which is generally the opposite of most churches) and none of what you wrote offended me.
anyway, THANK YOU! THANK YOU for calling out the child oageants for what they are. Parades to please pedos! I CANNOT understand parents not seeing that.
Great article! The repeated lies that get told-you just can’t argue with these MAGA people. They refuse to believe they’ve been lied to. Talk about child grooming-I went to my 11 year old granddaughter’s dance recital. In every number, all of the girls wore crop top/sports bra type costumes-midriffs were always bare. The sexy moves they were doing. 5 year olds dancing to “Barbie Girl”. If you know the song you know what I mean. And yet we get up in arms over a man dressed as a woman reading a book to kids.
Yes, Trump actually did learn from Hitler. Hitler had a 12-point plan on how to defeat enemies politically, & Trump has used every point. I'm guessing Stephen Miller read it to him.
Now the media has been telling us how great Trump is, I'm done with them all. Where do you get all this info about the CIA and FBI? How do you know if it's true ?
This isn’t secret knowledge. It’s well-known strategy to support potential candidates you think are beatable. Of course, if you truly believe MAGA is a threat to democracy you would never donate a dime to any of them - because the strategy is known to backfire spectacularly.
There hasn’t been any Republican primaries since then. There is a long tradition of this stuff so I assume they will do it in the future. IDK though. Maybe not. The point I’m trying to make is that two years ago, four years ago, eight years ago, they were warning people about the dire threat to democracy posed by fascist MAGA. As they were saying this, they were donating money to the most extreme MAGA candidates. There’s an extreme disconnect between their words and actions.
I really enjoyed this article. You picked some great 80s music that I haven’t thought about in a while. I sang along with Twisted Sister. Also Boy George was massively talented and I still remember the words. I loved this!!
Everything you say is true, gay people are born that way, and that's who they are. I know many gay people and they are not " grooming" anyone. It's people like Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump who groomed children for sex, it's the Catholic Church who molested untold numbers of children for decades. For the fake Christians out there, who demonize gays, look in your own backyard.
Remember, the Trumps are only three generations out of Germany. Fred the father went to a KKK rally and was fined by the city of New York for discriminating against Black renters. I’ve heard that the grandfather ran a whorehouse in Canada. Lovely family start to finish. The grandfather was only a few years older than Hitler if you think about it. Born from the same stock, so to speak.
We should also remember that Biden was the architect of the three strike law that sent thousands of black men to prison for simple possession of weed. Or that at one time Biden called Strom Thurmond one of his closest friends.
I know that. Biden has been around for decades and crime and punishment goes in cycles. I was a pot head in the sixties; only by a miracle did I and my friends avoid getting busted for pot and coke. Some of us were even Black. But we were paranoid and careful. We were also Middle Class, and that’s the difference. The realization that strict drug laws were aimed at poor Blacks was slow in coming. Black people knew, I’m not sure that I did. I was insulated from the real world by my class and did not fully realize it.
We’ve been legalizing pot all over the country because so many Middle Class people use it. Also as strapped states realized the tax benefits of legalizing pot, they decided to give it a chance, and I think it’s clear that marijuana is not the road to Perdition. It also isn’t a gateway drug to heroin. The anti-drug people didn’t do themselves any favors by exaggerating its dangers. Biden was an ordinary politician and he believed the twaddle of the anti-drug people so that’s why he voted in support of harsher drug laws. Even in those days I disagreed with him and people like him, but he was no different from any other straight person.
So if you were trolling me, you failed. I have an abundant share of compassion, empathy, and accept that people are not perfect. Also, they are capable of change. Look at the kind of President he has been. Really! Amazing!
Is the estimate that 15% of the population is gay? So maybe 300 of the 2000 people on the convention floor? Or for each of the 2000, at least one person in their extended family?
What kind of freak stands there cheering for discrimination/banning of a family member?
Please people VOTE. Up and down the ballot VOTE. We have to turn this awful tide.
I’m one of those with a gay family member. Thankfully family has been supportive. It angers me that there are people who want her to have no rights. Frankly with the hateful rhetoric from the right, I fear for her future. It would not surprise to see a repeat of nazi germany where certain groups get rounded up.
Exactly this. The Nazis also persecuted gay folks. They just put more emphasis on the “Jewish Question”. This time the order is reversed but they still go after the same groups.
Take it farther: the moss on Christine Jorgensen's grave is 35 years thick, and yet these bigots are strutting around having a major malfunction as if they'd never heard of such a thing as transexuality. The punchline--every circus used to have a he/she act that rubes would gape at, and yet that horror circus Thursday night was bereft of one.
The video for Call on Me might not make a gay man straight but it might make a straight woman gay. 😉 You missed the best example. How many MAGA types and all of middle America sing this - with the steps - at the ballpark? LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS9OO0S5w2k
Good points, all.

“…where evil men wear makeup…”
I know of at least one evil straight man who wears makeup every day.

Thanks Eileen! Yeah, these MAGA freaks live in a bizarre upside down world.
This is what makes me so angry! "And yet we get up in arms over a man dressed as a woman reading a book to kids."
The Grindr website crashing at RNC belies this obsession. Projection at its apex

If MAGA is such a racist threat to democracy, why did the Dems donate $10 million to the most extreme MAGA candidates during Republican primaries?
Oh hi there Mr. Populism Expert. Do you have a cite for this assertion?
Now the media has been telling us how great Trump is, I'm done with them all. Where do you get all this info about the CIA and FBI? How do you know if it's true ?

That article is over 2 years old. Jaime Harrison took over the DNC chair a year ago. Are they still doing this?

But...this really has nothing to do with my original comment about Trump using Hitler's 12-point plan.

Hey don't have to go in their backyard, just the nearest mirror.

Go spread your Russian anti-Biden propaganda somewhere else.

Those pedophiles must love these kiddy pageants. And the make up on an eight or ten year old? My god, talk about child abuse!…:)
Even on younger children. And yhe dancing is so sexualised, i wiukd not even dance like that at a club. Its not just dusgisting, its dangerous.
But its boiling the frog. Make people so used to it, they think its notmal. They teach their kids stanger danger, then parade them for strangers!!
Exactly this. The Nazis also persecuted gay folks. They just put more emphasis on the “Jewish Question”. This time the order is reversed but they still go after the same groups.
Hitler went after the interesting people.
Cults demand homogenisation, but nature only does variety
I meant this reply for you lisa:
"Cults demand homogenisation, but nature only does variety". Wow, lisa is that original, it's a perfect statement! Thanks
Yes, thank you. It is original. I try to put quotes in quotation marks.
.its an observation. I made many years ago.
Thank you for your encouragement. It is appreciated.
Xx : )
Take it farther: the moss on Christine Jorgensen's grave is 35 years thick, and yet these bigots are strutting around having a major malfunction as if they'd never heard of such a thing as transexuality. The punchline--every circus used to have a he/she act that rubes would gape at, and yet that horror circus Thursday night was bereft of one.
I have Boy George as the voice for my Waze app!
