Gays/trans are the New Hate Target for the Republicans

[The Banker]

Republicans always need a group to be scared of and/or protected from.

For a long time it was Russians.
Then it was Arabs
Then it was China and Mexicans.

Now it is gays and trans.
They make an easy target for Republicans. Its easy to hate gays, and take their rights and personal freedoms.

Republicans have made attacking gays their main issue for 2024, with DeSantis leading the anti-gay charge.

Florida expands 'Don't Say Gay'; House OKs anti-LGBTQ bills

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis can add more wins to his agenda targeting the LGBTQ+ community. A state board approved an expansion of what critics call the “Don’t Say Gay” law on Wednesday, and the House passed bills on gender-transition treatments, bathroom use and keeping children out of...

It's a losing proposition and most (of what's left) of mainstream Republicans know it. However, they are powerless to stop it.
The main body of the Republican party slips further and further into fascism every week.

They think about gay people more than the gays themselves.

Yea, right now republicans are directly all their hate and anger to gays and Hunter Biden. This is exactly what Fox News is telling them to do right now, and they follow whatever Fox tells them to do.

When Fox News tells these people to hate another group or attack another person, they will follow.

Republicans went from hating Russia, to loving Russia, because Trump and Fox told them to. Pretty soon Republicans will love Arabs again, when Trump says it is ok.

Here's a suggestion....don't go to Florida.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Any response to dem grooming is hate....oh my

Well, as much issue as I take with many of The Banker's posts, and while he does paint with a rather broad brush here (I think the larger, quieter part of the GOP is tolerant of differences... I hope), speaking as a formally registered Republican (non-affiliated since Bush went into Iraq) who still leans to the right, I see what he's talking about in the OP and can't argue otherwise.

We target those trying to indoctrinate our children. Stop the indoctrination and we really don't give a crap about what you do in your closet.

You can be damn sure I won’t. Been wanting to get to the Keys.

Not gonna happen now

So, not wanting minor children sexualized and exposed to pornography and other adult content is "hate"?....Really?

Democrats need to leave kids alone

I wouldn't let it stop me from going to St, Augustine, but I'd probably get a hotel in Georgia, Kingsland maybe, and drive the hour and a half. Can't do that for Key West, though. Hell, you can't even fill your tank and drive straight through...

“Democrats”?

Do you need the list of Republican kid touches posted AGAIN?

No, but depriving an entire group of people of rights granted to everyone else is. And do not pretend that's not happening or being attempted, you're smarter than that.

This may provide why they hate gays and trans.

So on the one hand you have Republicans actually molesting kids, and on the other you have trannies reading stories on the hope that THEY will become accepted as humans and not be treated badly

And you ignore the molesters and focus on story tellers

Yea… that makes sense
