    McCarthyism, plain straight and simple.

    With US on the side of the “reds” this time, have to fabricate a new “enemy”.

    Yeah, it’s almost like we are all expected to forget that Bush’s DHS found that the biggest domestic terrorist threat is from the right. And that it had to be buried very quickly and many apologies made under Obama because it might offend the feels of the Republican Party…

    We are supposed to forget that information and believe that the REAL threat is…LGBTQ+?

      If you’re expecting a rational argument, you’re not paying attention.

        I know. I get that they’re stupid but I know people in Australia that truly believe “we’ve gone too far left” which I still don’t understand but, claiming that LGBTQ people are an actual THREAT? this is next level. This is when innocent people die for extremely dumb reasons.

          They don’t think it, they just say it.

          Their stated ideals are ad-hoc justifications. All that has ever mattered is ingroup loyalty. They think that’s all you’re doing, because they think that’s all there is.
