    These idiots will believe absolutely anything, and it doesn’t need to be even remotely anchored to reality.

    That’s not quite true. They believe it because it appeals to their already preconceived prejudices. In the case of litter boxes, it was their incorrect understanding of how teachers were asking for pronouns (wokeness).

    For the gender reassignment surgery, it’s their incorrect understanding of how liberal schools are indoctrinating children about their genitals.

    It’s effective because it reaches into their lizard brain about some latent fear and makes them believe something even worse is happening.

    Haitians are immigrating here, is true. The racism is that they are “eating” our resources. But they aren’t eating our pets.

    It “feels” true because other things they believe about it are true to them.

      conservatives fear the entire idea of transgenderism, because they hate and fear the entire idea of women, and they can not, in their myopic little mind, understand why a man would want to willingly “debase” himself by “pretending” to be a woman. Thats why they think its so perverse and deranged. Because thats how much they hate women.

      cause you notice pretty much ALL their antitrans rhetoric circles around the transwomen and penises.

      In the years of listening to this vomitous verbal diatribe, I have not heard one single comment about transmen.

        Oh I have. Their rhetoric might skew toward trans women but they definitely hate trans men as well.

        It’s not that they hate women. I mean they do. But conservatives, specifically christian conservatives, are very key on gender roles. So when anyone goes outside of their gender, they view it as an afront to God because “He DoEsN’t MaKe MiStAkEs!”
