Will the GOP stop whining about CRT, transgender people, wokeism, and covid moms?

Of course it hurt them. Instead of attracting voters by representing their views on protecting reproductive rights and protecting democracy from coup attempts, they wasted their time carrying on about these issues of little consequence to voters. Are you not paying attention to where the votes materialized this cycle?

If you think the outcome was a backlash against anti-trans etc stuff then you are misreading the results. The two main issues Republicans got backlash against were abortion and 2020 election denialism. The Dems need to learn from this as well. Stop giving the social issues oxygen and learn to respond in a way that attracts the middle.

I don't think the voters gave a rat's ass about the trans stuff and all that time and energy and money invested by republicans on that issue cost them. they could hav used that time and energy and money to actually try to attract some votes.

This entire “war on schools” agenda by the rightwing - CRT, “grooming,” “gender ideology,” etc - was created to deflect from mass shootings at schools.

That’s it.

Think about who benefits from over-the-top Strawman scenarios that are not happening at schools? And also might make elements of the public feel less sympathetic toward students and educators? If you attack schools on all these issues, you’re no longer talking about Uvalde. And, in fact, maybe those darn teachers had it comin’

Again, this is from Montgomery County’s own website:

Exposing young grade school aged kids to scantily dressed people of any gender on the public dime is okay with you? I bet at least 80% of the country is not okay with this.

Democrats are right to hammer Trump and decry post Roe overreach and lunacy. But please don’t think advocating for Drag Queen Story Hours is a ticket to political success.

Find pictures of a drag queen story hour where the queen is scantily dressed. I’ll wait.

DP. This has been asked and unanswered many times. Maybe you will finally answer: What is the point of drag queen story hour and what benefit do children get from it? We'll wait.

Like most programming designed for children, it’s fun and kids like it. It brings them joy and exposes them to literacy in a fun and engaging way. It’s not that deep.

Dressing up like storybook characters would also be fun, bring joy, and expose children to literacy in a fun and engaging way. What is it *specifically* about men dressing up like over-the-top, garishly made up women that you find healthy and beneficial for children?

Uh, that is what they are doing. But sometime, it may be a man dressed as snow white or a worman dressed as one of the dwarfs.

It is fun, the kids love it and stop being a sourpuss.

Yes, I get that. What no one has been able to explain is WHY having a man dressed up as a woman is so important to you and what benefit you think children are getting from seeing this?

Why are clowns so beneficial for children? What benefit do you think children are getting from them specifically at birthday parties and circuses? Should we ban clowns at children’s events too? Why is a man wearing a red nose so important to you?

How about mascot/character costumes? Do children really get any specific benefit out of having them at Disneyworld? Why is a man dressed as Buzz Lightyear or Peter Pan so important to you?

Being a woman is not a costume like a clown. Having men dress up in a vampy caricature of a woman is straight up misogyny and offensive.
Why are democrats insistent on treating women like a costume?

+1
I have often thought this. Democrats pretend to be "anti-misogyny," but then celebrate men dressing up in degrading and stereotypical versions of women. It's incredibly insulting, yet liberals couch it as "expressing oneself." AND think that children should be exposed to this behavior, for some inexplicable reason.

Here’s the thing. If you don’t like drag queens you can just not go to drag shows. You can not expose your children to drag queens. Why do you care if I go to drag shows or take my kid to drag queen story hour? How does it affect you at all? How are Democrats pushing drag queens on you?

When public libraries are hosting drag queen story hours, those are my tax dollars being used. Host drag queen story hour on your own dime. Public funds are not acceptable.

How can you possibly say that? Both are mocking - one is mocking women, the other black people. So odd that you would excuse one (and encourage) one behavior but condemn the other.

You sound like the sort of person who votes to cut funds to public entities like libraries anyway.

Straight men dress as women to mock them and straight men in audiences watching them laugh because they use the concept of woman as an insult.

Drag queens are not mocking femininity, they do not feel women are inferior to men and therefore that dressing as a woman is a funny insult. Sounds like you need some lessons in what drag queen performance is all about.

The Republicans thought that people were going to vote for them because of drag queen story hour or because a single transgender woman did well in swimming.

How many people do they think these issues affect?

Then there’s abortion. An attempted coup. And all the boomers moving to FL and TX and slowly dying off. I imagine their demographics will get harder and harder in time. I read that 20% of the population is boomers right now. In ten years it will be 10%. In twenty years boomers will be 2%. Good luck with your elections centered around trying to make drag queens illegal and telling transgender women that they’re just men when almost no one in the country has any sort of interaction with these groups.

Vote for us and we will ban drag queens, make transgender kids stay closeted and force transgender women to use the men’s bathroom. What important issues!

Like most programming designed for children, it’s fun and kids like it. It brings them joy and exposes them to literacy in a fun and engaging way. It’s not that deep.

Dressing up like storybook characters would also be fun, bring joy, and expose children to literacy in a fun and engaging way. What is it *specifically* about men dressing up like over-the-top, garishly made up women that you find healthy and beneficial for children?

Uh, that is what they are doing. But sometime, it may be a man dressed as snow white or a worman dressed as one of the dwarfs.

It is fun, the kids love it and stop being a sourpuss.

Yes, I get that. What no one has been able to explain is WHY having a man dressed up as a woman is so important to you and what benefit you think children are getting from seeing this?

Why are clowns so beneficial for children? What benefit do you think children are getting from them specifically at birthday parties and circuses? Should we ban clowns at children’s events too? Why is a man wearing a red nose so important to you?

How about mascot/character costumes? Do children really get any specific benefit out of having them at Disneyworld? Why is a man dressed as Buzz Lightyear or Peter Pan so important to you?

Being a woman is not a costume like a clown. Having men dress up in a vampy caricature of a woman is straight up misogyny and offensive.
Why are democrats insistent on treating women like a costume?

I have often thought this. Democrats pretend to be "anti-misogyny," but then celebrate men dressing up in degrading and stereotypical versions of women. It's incredibly insulting, yet liberals couch it as "expressing oneself." AND think that children should be exposed to this behavior, for some inexplicable reason.

Here’s the thing. If you don’t like drag queens you can just not go to drag shows. You can not expose your children to drag queens. Why do you care if I go to drag shows or take my kid to drag queen story hour? How does it affect you at all? How are Democrats pushing drag queens on you?

When public libraries are hosting drag queen story hours, those are my tax dollars being used. Host drag queen story hour on your own dime. Public funds are not acceptable.

My tax dollars go to support a lot of things I don't believe in. Do I get a say in every line item my tax dollars go to?

You sound like the sort of person who votes to cut funds to public entities like libraries anyway.

You'd be wrong (as usual). I'm a huge proponent and patron of public libraries.

How many people do they think these issues affect?

Then there’s abortion. An attempted coup. And all the boomers moving to FL and TX and slowly dying off. I imagine their demographics will get harder and harder in time. I read that 20% of the population is boomers right now. In ten years it will be 10%. In twenty years boomers will be 2%. Good luck with your elections centered around trying to make drag queens illegal and telling transgender women that they’re just men when almost no one in the country has any sort of interaction with these groups.

Vote for us and we will ban drag queens, make transgender kids stay closeted and force transgender women to use the men’s bathroom. What important issues!

Sorry, I couldn't hear you over all the hyperbole. Your entire post is just ludicrous.
