Okay, let’s start a list of the vague concepts one should be very afraid of, according to our esteemed pundits at Fox:

Satanic Ritual Abuse
Rainbow Parties
Mexican Rapists
Invasions at the Southern Border
Critical Race Theory
Antifa
Black Lives Matter burning down cities across the nation
Open Borders
Globalism
Great Replacement

[take it away, folks…]

I’m just waiting for the piece about kids with terrible personal hygiene because they grew up with conservative parents who didn’t want to be caught “grooming” them.

Seriously, don’t they realize that, while they generate so much concern about grooming, they are letting Satan get away with everything! Why aren’t they frantic about Satanism any more? Isn’t going to Hell just as dire a fate?

Self awareness is not a conservative trait.

Those Fox presenters all look like they have been groomed within an inch of their lives. I get static cling just looking at them.

While we’re reeling off examples of sexual misconduct by politicians, let’s remember that the other party gave us Congressman David Wu (resigned when accused of having an “unwanted sexual encounter” with a teenage girl), Congressman Anthony Weiner (sentenced to prison for sexting a teenage girl), and Congressman Mel Reynolds (convicted of multiple accounts including child porn). And before he switched from Democrat to Republican, noted segregationist Senator Strom Thurmond got a 16-year-old Black girl pregnant.

Are you have’n a 'selective memory" moment? Sure seems like it.

If it causes spittle to fly out from an overheated sermon on Sunday morning it’s good enough.

Rain coats on pew one please! (Not really, fuck those assholes.)

That says far more about the moral values of politicians than it does about LGBTQ+ people.

It does not diminish in any way the hypocrisy of Republican politicians claiming they want to protect children when so many are known molesters and pedophiles themselves.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here.

I thought the GOP needed as many unicorns as they can round up for those coke fueled orgies.

Okay, you had to go back more than 60 years for that list, but there are more Republican pedophile scandals going on right now… (just the number of former Trump campaign officials that have been convicted of sex trafficking of children, child pornography or sexual assault of children alone exceeds those).

And the party did not close ranks and protect those predators did they… The GOP is ACTIVELY PROTECTING PREDATORS. This not a BOTH SIDES thing here, not in that way. So stop trying to pretend like it is…

More like more bothsiderism.

And the Democrats did not pretend like these people were worth defending, for the most part.

Meanwhile, in Tennessee the GQP passed the Pedophile Protection Act. Remember folks: it’s okay if it’s “Common Law.”

Oh, I thought maybe somebody just walked out of self induced information coma. That makes perfect sense.
