Republicans live in a completely different reality.
The problem is they project it onto others.
Like Christians who don't rape and murder because they're scared of hell, assume people who don't believe do it all the time. They're just telling on themselves that if they didn't think Sky Daddy was watching them, then why wouldn't they do horrible shit.
They don't live in any REALITY. They live in a Fox News fever dream.
The one they describe is usually so much nicer, too. Kids getting sex education that isn’t abstinence only or the STD shock image hour? I wish.
These fundamentalists gutted sex ed and now we wonder why STI rates are up. Fuck them and everything they stand for
Fuck them and everything they stand for
Make sure to use protection though
Had a chance to look at Fox news lately?
My family turned to it last night and it was ridiculous lol. Look at this
It was all about a parent who was blaming weed for her sons suicide.
Wouldn’t this stuff have to be real in order for it to be a reality?
Butt plug training, stolen elections, no climate change, Hillary Clinton harvesting children in pizza restaurants, etc. The GOP platform reads like fiction self-published on Amazon.
I wish someone had trained me how to use a buttplug. Could have saved myself a huge pain in the ass.
We have actual victims speaking up to let us know that the Catholic Church and other Christian communities are abusing children. If LGBT groups are allegedly doing the same, where are the victims' testimonies? Where are the hundreds, if not thousands of victims coming forward with their own stories that can be investigated so we can bring these alleged gay pedophiles to justice?
Because organized religion is so powerful they can get away with mass sexual assault of children among other crimes. Conservatives don't oppose child abuse, they're afraid the "wrong" people Are doing it
IMHO that's the big picture: Conservatism doesn't want people focusing on the overwhelmingly factual and documented abuses by the church and GOP.
This is a list of confirmed GOP sex offenders and their crimes. It's past 1,100 now.
I don't think I need to point out the well documented history of sex offenses in the church, but here's a quick list of recent travesties:

So please, FOCUS ON THE GAYS! LITTERBOXES! TRANS TRAINERS! Think about anything but the crimes conservatives and religious pedos please please please.
Projection writ large, across our entire society.
"Lady sobs because she imagined things that don't happen"
This kind of performative rhetoric, invented to assign wicked or demonic qualities to your scapegoat, is not a new thing. It's just a retread of the blood libel, the red scare, the lavender panic, reefer madness, and today's bathroom panics. All of them were lies told to justify violence and the criminalization of things that could be used to persecute their targets.
And she didn't take pictures or record these incidents to report to CPS the child exploitation that was happening? No just put it in her back burner to someday tell congress about.... how convenient.... sounds like the case brought before the supreme court of a women who claimed she was being forced to cook cakes orders for gay couples of which those 'orders for gay couples ' later turned out to have never existed....
She was so upset about the LGBTQ+ she moved to the only city in TN with an active pride organization
So, if the past is any indicator, in the next few months we're going to learn she's been molesting kids with butt plugs and dildos.
This is meant solely to hurt people. At best it’s satanic panic level insanity. At worst it’s an attempt to prepare people to commit atrocities.
The only story I know about using buttplugs on children was that one instance where the child had to use a buttplug from their parents in order to keep the Devil out of their asshole.
Christians are much worse than any drag queen.
I love how conspiratorial republicans get when the state is threatened with welfare and humanitarian measures, but when other republicans make insane claims no one asks for a source
Every accusation...
Funny they hardly ever cry about any of the children victims who were molested at churches or by GOP politicians.
It really is amazing how people just believe whatever outlandish story they hear. Had an elderly woman tell our state legislators at a local forum that teachers where I work were literally locking children into closets and teaching them to be gay. Legislators response: "Mumble, Mumble, yeah... we need to do something about these teachers."
Lady, if we had the power to "indoctrinate" children, we wouldn't have any late homework again, let alone tolerance for people different from yourself.
Reminds me of those people who dream about their partner cheating on them and then are mad at them for days and demand apologies. These people think up things to be afraid and then demand we take their delusions seriously.
How do these public lies not lead to consequences? Isn't lying while testifying in a public setting perjury?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so come on Mazzoni, provide said extraordinary evidence!
Odds are that at the most she can manage is evidence of 1-2 pedos being caught doing something vaguely adjacent to it and also claiming to be some flavor of LGBTQ, like how the GOP notion of drag queen story time is shaped entirely by that one library event in the UK (which is probably still the entire top page of Google results for "rainbow dildo butt monkey") and trans people by Jessica Yaniv.
Ma'am, that sounds like an awfully specific word choice for you to be using there...
I remember when I was around 13-14 years old we had sex education class and we had to put a condom on a dildo. We all thought it was great fun.
This isn’t really related to whatever this woman is talking about, she’s probably just making shit up, but it just reminded me of that and I thought I’d share.
I am just so tired of Republicans and of the way our stupid system gives these crazies outsized influence.
Not one of them should be allowed into office.
Lol this is the first result when I searched this lady's name. Apparently she is a serial liar.
I feel like when making claims like this, you should be expected to prove that what you're saying...you know...happened.
Surely there's a news article or 2 of people being arrested for child grooming that were in the LGBTQ+ community if this actually happened. Cause if there isn't then she's talking about a crime she didn't actually report.
Or you know, it didn't happen.
Lying sack of shit.
"Excuse me, can you direct me to the aisle with the children's sex toys?" - nobody, ever.
I mean...
Hey kids: if you're using a dildo or any insertable, be aware that that hole is deeeeep. Save yourself an embarrassing ER trip. Make sure your toys have a flared base.
Also, using a condom on your toy is a great way to keep it clean, but you should still go e it a good warm soap antibacterial rinse after every use.
If it's hurting just stop.
Consent always.
Play safe.
These people are either mentally ill or acting. Maybe a bit of both.
Insanity is the expected norm in the Christian Republican MAGA crowd. They've lost contact with reality completely.
Tell me this is an unlikely root cause:
closeted LGBTQ+ conservatives fulfill their desires with LGBT porn.
in their mind, the most depraved fantasies they fulfill with porn compose the entire LGBTQ+ world. That’s all they know of it.
projection intensifies
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nayirah_testimony
The Nayirah testimony was false testimony given before the United States Congressional Human Rights Caucus on October 10, 1990, by a 15-year-old girl who was publicly identified at the time by her first name, Nayirah. The testimony was widely publicized and was cited numerous times by U.S. senators and President George H. W. Bush in their rationale to support Kuwait in the Gulf War.
Do the REPs have a kind of internal championship challenge like "Who can come up with the most outrageous lies?"
Just like QAnon is probably a student hoax challenge on who can create the most unbelievable fringe theory that conservatives still swallow line hook and sinker.
And: I wonder which parts of the darknet she (regularly?) consumes that gave her such ideas?
