The Next Republican boogeyman?

[Buckeyes85]

Republicans have been very successful rallying their ever so impressionable followers with fears that our kids are being taught to hate being white, taught to be guilty that slavery ever occurred, are being indoctrinated to be gay or turn trans, and even on public college campuses, they are being indoctrinated into liberal/socialist ideals- despite being able to choose what school they attend and what classes they take. This after being convinced the evil right somehow conspired nationwide to steal the 2020 election from their dear leader.

Just curious what others think the next boogeyman the right will invent in order to scare up the masses, and more votes.

It doesn't matter what it is, it matters that people understand the mechanism and powerful propaganda machine they use, and how and why, to get their votes.

Abbot for VP.

Don't worry, the Dems and Trump haters will let you know when they want you to know.

That's odd. I didn't learn about the horrors of indoctrinating our kids with CRT, turning them gay and socialist, from any Democrat.

Once righties lose the fight against trans people, which they will, nonbinary people will be the next target.

Then enbies will win too, and they'll find yet another target.

I dunno. They got half the country thinking illegal immigrants are the cause of all our problems. Same thing Hitler did with the Jews.

White people really need to #woke up and read this book.

White Fragility: Unpacking the Kafka Traps of Robin DiAngelo's NYT Bestseller | Julian Adorney

Kafka Trap: a fallacy where if someone denies being x it is taken as evidence that the person is x since someone who is x would deny being x.

If You're White You're Racist​

DiAngelo's biggest claim is that, if you're white, you're automatically and unavoidably racist. Now to be clear, DiAngelo doesn't mean that all white people have a conscious anti-minority bias. Rather, she claims that all white people employ racist assumptions and patterns that harm people of color and display an underlying bias.

To quote DiAngelo: "racism is unavoidable and…it is impossible to completely escape having developed problematic and racial assumptions and behaviors." Speaking of herself (DiAngelo is white), she says, "I also understand that there is no way for me to avoid enacting problematic (racial) patterns."

A quibble: Undocumented migrants are a current bogeyman. The OP asked about the next bogeyman.

Good point, but in my list of other boogeymen, I should have mentioned the brown scare invading our southern border in droves. As you noted, that "scare" is not going away anytime soon.

Look,We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.

The only way to stop it is to punish employers. No one has the balls to actually do it.

That's true. But nor do we have "open borders" or a wave of rapists and murderers flowing across the border, only to be signed up to vote for every democrat in sight. That is the boogeyman aspect republicans trumpet constantly.

The LGBTophobes don't realize that with all the stink they're raising, they are actually laying the groundwork for anti-anti-LGBT legislation.

 

[Mr Person]

They're still punching down on the brown, gay, and trans. Perhaps they'll have a go at the disabled next?

No thanks but I'm guessing there are a lot of folks with spanish sounding names, which proves that they all came into the country illegally thru our "open border" with Mexico? And the same is occurring from San Diego to the gulf of Mexico?

 

[What if...?]

It doesn't matter what it is, it matters that people understand the mechanism and powerful propaganda machine they use, and how and why, to get their votes.

I came here all those years ago trying to warn this was coming and how it was being done. To much ridicule from other sides, by the way.

But here we are, openly discussing what was dismissed out of hand a decade ago.

Great. But tell me how you were able to determine all those people were illegal immigrants who entered our country thru our open border with Mexico?

I agree.

Trump already did that…

Might be time to bring the Muslims out of the mothballs.

Conservatives seem to be engaging in some new moral panic every 2-3 weeks. I am surprised they are exhausting themselves from all the outrage and stress. It has to be hard on a person to go through so much angst.
