How exactly were they misled? He's been pretty upfront about being a monster.

He wasn't hardcore anti-queer until the last few years.

The whole GOP used hate-based politics for decades. Absolutely none of this is shiny and new!

LGBTQ conservatives continue to be the dumbest people I can imagine.

They were in the same place then as conservative LGBT+ people are now. There was no Final Solution yet. They didn't think they were those kind of Jews. And if the GOP gets their way and queer people start getting rounded up, they will realize they were those kind of queer people.

The difference is that there Jews for Hitler didn't have the benefit of history being written already. So they were actually less stupid.

It’s not the only genocide in history, and it’s not the only one that had quislings either.

What in the ever loving fuck are you on about. DeSantis banned Child Sex books, and told parents they deserve to know what their children are being taught.

What has that got to do with being: Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual?

[–] kmkz_ninja@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Child sex books"

What, in your own words, does this mean to you?

[–] Knetsqu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are books teaching kids how to masturbate and give oral sex. I do not think any of this belongs in schools.

[–] kmkz_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There are venoms capable of killing 20 men in a single bite. I do not think any of this belongs in schools.
