I stand with Ron DeSantis

And I’m voting for him if he runs for president. His attempts to protect our children from being sexualized are noble and true.

A man teacher speaking of having a husband? Truly vile. The children will instantly know all about sex from that.

Will they think of boys holding hands or kissing like they see the heterosexual couples doing around them? No, of course not. We all know that to even hear of two men loving each other they will instantly know all about sex. And will be sexualized. As that is a well defined and never misused term.

So why am I voting for DeSantis? Because I want him to go further as president. I’m hoping he will take the final step and ban all children from schools.

They’re almost all the product of heterosexual intercourse! We have to stop this.

Stand with me and with Ron. Ban all children from schools. Protect the children from themselves and sexualization.

And also God, Jesus, and the Bible amen.

I remember talking with a conservative user on here who was freaking out about the gay kiss in Lightyear because they considered that inappropriate for children as its sexual content. So I kept asking why straight kisses in every movie are NOT sexual. Literally could not answer. Just went around and around in circles.

And like, anyone who even marginally agrees with DeSantis' beliefs ... well what's the outcome. Okay so can't talk about homosexuality in schools. So what about children of same-sex couples?

Oh well in that worldview same-sex couples don't have children.

But they -do-. So... what happens with them? What happens to their kids?

[i]What do you actually do with all the LGBT people?[/i]

And the answer of course is mass incarceration and probably mass murder by the state. But nobody will fucking -say- that even though it's clearly the only thing that their beliefs can lead to.

@MalteseFalconPunch Oh they ABSOLUTELY do not realize that. Like if you ask any conservatives on here if they advocate for incarceration/conversion/extermination of LBGT people they'd be horrified you'd even ask.

But in the past, everyone was closeted so you could pass draconian laws and just keep people in the closet if they don't come out in the first place, they're invisible. But you can't put people back in the closet. You can't take someone who transitioned twenty years ago and tell them they have to go back to their assigned gender.

So... what do you do? And yeah, nobody is calling for human rights atrocities -yet- but part of DeSantis' game is just pushing the overton window until it's a legitimate controversy.

@MalteseFalconPunch You're absolutely right, the psychology of this is extremely liberal and is based on a "just world fallacy" in that draconian laws will be applied in a fair and just manner. This is also beautifully described as the Shirley Exception.

People who support abortion bans tend to believe that it is INTENDED for lazy expecting parents who can absolutely afford to raise a child but just don't wanna and so have a vanity third-trimester abortion. When ectopic pregnancies are brought up "surely there will be an exception."

@MalteseFalconPunch I have no idea what the future holds, but I am certain it is going to get far worse before good things happen. Even stuff like the George Floyd protests which gave me real hope kinda just got coopted by Liberals and nothing has improved.

The only thing I see as a positive sign is increasing mass unionization in workplaces, and that can lead to some good outcomes but voting in more Democrats isn't going to be the good outcome. The New Deal didnt' come about because FDR was a nice guy, the new deal came about to avert a revolution.

@MalteseFalconPunch

> And it’s going to come back around to unions being the “real enemy”

So a fundamental political rule I've always had in mind is "you don't have to be popular to win". Public sentiment against unions doesn't actually matter if the unions are powerful and organized. What matters is winning.

@MalteseFalconPunch After a point, the unions end up breaking the law. Like...

Our modern society is built on legal truces that took conflicts out from the streets and workplaces and into the laws. Union contracts are one of those truces and are like golden handcuffs where unions get stability but lose the ability to just strike at will.

And when that stability falls away and they break the truces... that brings the old fights back. If they ban strikes, then the strikes become illegal, it doesn't stop the strikes.
