Why?

They made up lies about Tim Walz ordering tampon dispensers installed in boys bathrooms. Even though Walz did no such thing. MAGA is truly nutty.

It's the law in Minnesota as well as Illinois.

Wonder who signed it into law in Minnesota. Probably no one.

The bill used gender-neutral language. Products were to be made available to “menstruating students” in restrooms used by grades 4-12, but did not specify which restrooms. The right wing media ecosystem gleefully twisted that into a lie (“Tim Walz is mandating tampons in the bathrooms of 10 year old boys!”) to whip up outrage among their gullible listeners. Much like screaming FRAUD!!! to smear all daycares.

It’s a constant panic over anything to do with women and reproduction.

It’s a political party made up of Ed Gein’s.

Why did the MAGAs think that was weird?

The MAGAs are the sexual weirdos; all the things they do . . .

That’s it. You don’t need to torture the story till it spits out some parable about race or sexuality (the latter critique being one that I can’t even follow). Just chill.

OK, what's your explanation for why Nick Shirley is dedicating his life to being a fake journalist creating fake evidence and trying to break into childcare centers that were totally unrelated to the story he was allegedly investigating?

WTAF does that have to do with the Salon article?!?

Minnesota day care hoax is fueled by MAGA psychosexual weirdness

The racism underlying MAGA's latest obsession is intertwined with misogyny


Nick Shirley really wants the world to know that he’s never had sex. The YouTuber who moved from “prank” videos to the more lucrative world of creating MAGA disinformation apparently believes that sexual inexperience is an armor against accusations that he’s a liar. “I’m a virgin. I don’t have sex with random girls. You’re not gonna catch me on those sexual allegation charges,” he rambled on “PBD Podcast,” insisting that he is “religious” and doesn’t “have any vices.”

It was an odd rant, and not just because he conflated consensual hook-ups with rape.


Shirley stands accused of lying for racist reasons, so his “but I’m a virgin” defense is irrational — at least on the surface.

But it makes more sense, in a psychosexual way, in light of the right’s long-standing fear and loathing of day cares.
The scandal Shirley is exploiting isn’t really about day cares.
If Shirley was only interested in building his hoax on that existing and very real case, he could have targeted anti-hunger charities for his fake sting. Instead, he went after day cares, which are only sites that were supposed to get assistance from the fraudsters but never received it.

These businesses were picked almost certainly because Shirley and his colleagues have tapped into the long-standing tendency of paranoid reactionaries to make day cares the subject of conspiracy theories. Along with birth control and abortion — whose providers are also smeared constantly with right-wing lies — day care is loathed on the right for allowing women to work instead of being financially dependent on a husband.

White women are implicitly accused of using immigrant labor as a cheat to avoid their god-given duty to quit work to stay home and raise babies.

Vice President JD Vance has been especially loud with his belief that day care is pushing women away from their supposedly inherent desire to be housewives.

as Tim Walz learned, when you find yourself by making ad hominem attacks against a twenty-three year old amateur journalist, you have already lost.

Calling out a criminal fraud isn't an ad hominem attack.

Have you tried... reading the article?

I know that's a big ask for MAGAs. There aren't even any all-caps words in the article.

Yes, the “journalist” is certainly an attention whoring fraud.

It’s not an ad hominem when it’s accurate.

If you don’t like being called a misogynist, then don’t say misogynistic things, don’t treat women as nothing more than breeding vessels, and stop voting for policies designed to target and hurt women.

If you don’t want to be labeled weird, then stop lying about bills like this and using them as an excuse to obsess over kids and sex.
