Why that’s not a major media story is absolutely beyond me.   [/quote]

The Satanist is not a distributor. The Satanist is a designer that Target partnered with.  The Satanist who designed the “Satan respects pronouns” shirt is the same designer Target selected to create merchandise for this year’s pride campaign.   Your friend in that video is misrepresenting the relationship that Target has with the Satanist.  [/quote]

You are creating an issue out of nothing.  This is why people, especially the younger generations, are not voting for republicans and becoming less religious.

Target is not selling any Satanic-themed clothing in its stores, not to adults, and certainly not to children. The designer behind the merchandise is also not a "Satanist" and says the t-shirt was created to be campy and satirical-something the right-wing has shown they cannot understand.

And FWIW, the artist has been inundated with requests from others to buy their merchandise.

Congratulations, you look like a damn fool.  [/quote]

Target has lost $9B in market cap since this issue broke.

Your problem is that you think people have to be religious ans hard right to think it's demented to dress babies as Satanic trans activists.

As long as the left continues to talk about people who cringe at or are repulsed by this kind of stuff like they are evangelicals, they will continue to alienate people. The evangelical hard right does not to $9B worth of damage. This is the mainstream who is like, hey I'm good with LGBTQ stuff but I draw the line at satanic trans babies. [/quote]

Honestly, PP, this "satanic" stuff is so normie now that it's almost too basic. It's tongue in cheek. It's the tiniest bit salty. You sound like Church Lady - it's just crazy out of touch. [/quote]

Ok, give us your explanation of the $9B loss in market cap. Go on. [/quote]

Do you realize how the stock market works?  Target stock is actually trending up this morning.  [/quote]

So just FYI, Benny Johnson is a perfect example of someone who is SO interesting and fun for people who are Very Online -a and just doesn't exist outside of the Very Online world. If you're citing Benny Johnson, you're in a weird little MAGA loop.

But, as we keep saying - the more you stay in this strange little padded walls universe talking to each other and sure you're speaking to and for everyone, the less your chances of winning elections. Not no chance - I'll never be that cocky - but you lessen the chances for sure.[/quote]

You folks love to slam the messenger even when he is presenting facts.  
Do a search.

We get it. You hate gay people and think they should be hidden away so you don't have to think about them.

Well guess what. Gay people exist. They are human beings just like you are. And they have a right to exist and to live their lives. So what if there is merchandise geared toward them. Completely insane to be losing your sh!t because there's merchandise connected to the LGBTQ community. WTF. There's also merchandise geared toward hunters. And Disney lovers. And left-handers - does that freak you out? Left-handers are outliers, too.[/quote]

DP.  You truly sound unhinged.  "Hate gay people"?  Do you even hear yourself?  I have several gay people in my family who would never in a million years wear clothing that advertised their sexuality - neither, for that matter, would the heterosexual people I know.  Very, very strange to think of people only in terms of their sexuality.  Why on earth would anyone advertise it?  I certainly don't care who you love.  But it seems you really, really want to broadcast it.  Why is that?[/quote]

At least they'd never wear anything in front of you, since you'd judge them for it.

The whole reason Pride month/parades etc. exists is because of centuries of oppression of gay people. Not just oppression but imprisonment and more. Legalized oppression and discrimination and even execution in certain countries. And a reaction to that is the assertion of their right to exist. "We here, we're queer, get used to it." It's a way of saying they are not going to hide anymore. Straight people who don't like it have no one to blame but themselves for their mistreatment of the gay community over most of human history.

Except that no one cares…?  Everyone *is* used to it.  LGBT people are mainstream now.  Really weird that you think otherwise.  And btw, this is the US - not “other countries.”[/quote]

LGBT people are so mainstream that republicans can still say this about them:  https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/05/gop-lawmaker-calls-lgbtq-community-a-disease-says-its-contagious/[/quote]

Um, *one* Republican said that.  Not plural.   :roll: [/quote]

Um, it's also part of the Texas GOP's platform.
