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:

https://montgomeryparks.org/events/drag-queen-story-time-6-copy/

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.

Honestly - who gives a sh#t?

It’s not happening in schools. It’s a free country and people can choose whether or not to attend. This is literally an exercise of the 1st Amendment at a public facility.

Are you arguing drag queens do not have 1st Amendment rights?

DP. When taxpayer funds are used for drag queen story hour, then it is ceases to become "a free country." Feel free to host this nonsense on your own dime.

Comedy gold.

1. Dems hate America and are pushing critical race theory in schools;
2. Dems have a transgender agenda and want children to have top/bottom surgery and for boys to play on girls teams;
3. Dems are too woke and they will be punished for their wokeism by everyone;
4. Moms everywhere are angry about covid restrictions and Dems will be punished.

However, Dems have not been wiped off the map and the major candidates pushing these narratives did not win.

Do you think the GOP will have a 'come to Jesus' moment and stop whining about these things after their candidates were not perceived as patriots but instead regarded as losers? Or do you think they will continue trying to peddle issues that no one is interested in buying?

You mean, will the GOP discontinue to create false scandals and issues to rile their base and keep people angry?

No, that is their playbook.

How is this a false scandal? Montgomery County literally hosts Drag Queen Story Hour at public parks with public funds:

https://montgomeryparks.org/events/drag-queen-story-time-6-copy/

Did a Republican hack the county’s website?

Republicans lost because of Trump, not because of their stances on CRT and trans issues. Dave Chapelle campaigned for Ben Jealous in 2018 and is considered far right by this board even though he’s the most popular comedian in the country and beloved by Democrats in the real world. Bill Maher donated $1M to Obama and is as critical of Trump as anyone and is constantly pointing out far left lunacy on trans and CRT issues. Skepticism about transitioning children and CRT related curriculum in public schools is a mainstream concern. Please don’t think all of us are dumb enough to fall for your gaslighting.

The Dems won because it Roe overreach and the stench of Trump. If Roe never fell and Trump didn’t insert himself into any of these races or get obscenely cooky candidates nominated this would have a been a very different midterm.

Why or how is what Montgomery County did a scandal? If you don't want to go, don't go.

This is how it works. You gaslight people and say they’re making up something that doesn’t exist and then when they provide evidence that it does you gaslight them about how it’s not a big deal. If it isn’t such a big deal Democrats should be proud of it instead of pretending people are making something out of thin air.

The same goes for some school district’s CRT related indoctrination. The average parent isn’t mad they’re kids are being taught about slavery. The average parent is upset their kids are being made to feel like they’re inherently toxic or problematic because of their sex or race, which they have no control over. People were told this wasn’t happening and then when evidence was shown they were gaslit into thinking they were wrong for caring.

No doubt your kids are toxic and problematic if they’ve been indictrined with paranoid delusional nonsense such as this.

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?

Do you think that democrats are outlawing dressing up as storybook characters and saying that only drag queens can read to 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?

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?

Here's the entire thread in a nutshell.

The only way the Trump GOP (e.g. marginalized fringe) can make power gains is through anger and fear.

If folks are happy, they won't vote for crazy people into elected offices.

It's a thing.

Very true. I’d also like to know how they feel about face painting. How is it good or healthy for children to be made to look like a tiger or, god forbid, butterfly? And all that glitter? What are kids getting from that, really?

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?

Um, none of those things are "so important" to me. (Especially clowns - wtf?). Why are drag queens so very important to you - especially reading books to children?

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’

Please volunteer your time and energy to create a costume and dressing up like storybook characters to read to children. Thank you for your service.

Honestly - who gives a sh#t?

It’s not happening in schools. It’s a free country and people can choose whether or not to attend. This is literally an exercise of the 1st Amendment at a public facility.

Are you arguing drag queens do not have 1st Amendment rights?

DP. When taxpayer funds are used for drag queen story hour, then it is ceases to become "a free country." Feel free to host this nonsense on your own dime.

Comedy gold.

That's exactly how I feel about drag queen story hour. It's something that SNL would have done a skit about, in their funny days.

Ooh, PP, do magicians next! There’s really no specific benefit to kids being exposed to sleight of hand illusions.

Very true. I’d also like to know how they feel about face painting. How is it good or healthy for children to be made to look like a tiger or, god forbid, butterfly? And all that glitter? What are kids getting from that, really?

Balloon animals are for commies.
