The right-wing certainly know how to spin a narrative. What's next for the conservative FeverNet? It's hard to dial the disgusting, violent, and bombastic rhetoric to 11 and then stop. This is why I say that right-wing populism ends with fascism. Once the boulder starts rolling down the hill, good luck stopping it.

Or as @cpwill would say, both sides are guilty.

What does this have to do with "fascism"?

While I think much of what’s being said about Disney is extreme, I also don’t feel terribly sorry for them. Their management brought this on themselves when they decided advancing a political agenda was somehow in their shareholders’ interest. If their current management team winds up being a collective corporate head on a pike as as warning to other business leaders to stick to their knitting while on the job, so be it.

Disgusting humans have sex with children, and equally disgusting people accuse others of it without proof.

What specific political agenda are you referring to?

They haven't advanced a political agenda.

Do you know what the Nazis accused the Jews of doing?
A lot of things, but that doesn't mean those people in the video are fascists.

But hey...I understand. Someone says something that some bad guy said and that means they are ALL bad guys. Right?

Your stupid shit is dismissed.

What do you think QAnon is? It's just rehashed anti-Semitic tropes.

Why are the people in the video feeding the Republican base QAnon-inspired red meat? Because they love it.

So, I take it that you have no problem with teachers telling 5 to 10 year old children about gender identity, gay sex, or transgender identities? Just glad my children are grown and gone, but greatly worry about my grandchildren and great grandchildren.....a disgusting thought that there are teachers who would stoop so low, imo.

Guilty of engaging in 'political extremism' or 'otherization'.

The right-wing engages in racism, antisemitism, pedo-accusations, LGBTQ bigotry.

The left wing criticizes corporate power.

You know, both sides.
And how many Million$ of dollar$ do these hair-splitting, gnat-straining, vague 'directives' cost before Americans see how much of THEIR money is being wasted fighting issues so nebulous even legislators can't seem to define them beyond catchphrases that gin up their gullible base?

Can't we just get back to teachers indoctrinating kids into Communism? God, I miss the good old days.

Actually, how long before these teachers come under fire for promoting socialism by asking kids to share?

The subject changes, but the panic marches on.

But, it's okay with you if teachers "lead" children into gender identity, gay sex and transgender identity....not a problem for your children?

Once you realize that all republican accusations are confessions it becomes much clearer.
That's not quite true. It just seems most are, but it's just because they're guilty of so much. And guilty of a lot they don't accuse Democrats of though it's getting harder to think of examples. The first I thought of was trump's corrupt relationship with Saudi Arabia, then I remembered just this week I saw clips of him in the 2016 campaign saying Saudi are terrible murderers Hillary is being soft on. So ya. Hard to find exceptions.

You've swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
I don't know what you're imagining teachers are telling young kids, but it's not that.

You've heard this before a thousand times, I'm sure, so I don't know why I'm bothering, but if the existence of LGBTQ's is mentioned, it is in a matter of fact way to help kids accept that difference in others. Those born different go through social hell due to others' bigotry and ignorance. If it is being brought into the light of day for kids, that is all it is for--acceptance of others' differences. It is not and will not affect their own sexuality.

It's been a while since I've watched some Disney so I intend to get Groomed by some Aladdin tonight.
