I will admit, I like to expose insanity.
I do disagree with you on the rainbow crazy. Just last week GLAAD again attempted to gaslight by saying minors are not being operated on.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen, I'm saying it doesn't happen HERE, or anywhere near here, or nearly as much as the "news" outlets would have you believe.. I can't save the world, nor is that my job. My job is keeping the crazy under control HERE, where I live. My job is affecting those things which affect me and mine, not some stranger on the other end of the country. They should have their own people to look out for them, and if they don't, they should have the fortitude to stand up for themselves and say "yer gonna cut off my WHAT? The hell you are! First one of you sumbitches that gets withing arm's reach of me gets cut. Try me and see," If they don't, then that ain't my lookout. If they are that weak, that they would allow themselves to be mutilated, it's probably better that they DON'T reproduce and add their defective genes to the pool.
Now, when something DOES affect me or mine, I get right in there and handle it. When they tried to put my kids in school uniforms, I marched right in there and said the hell they will - those kids would be in uniform soon enough, and they would be kids while they were kids if I had any say in it, and I do. The response was "You will have no choice if we decide that" so I shot right back with "my ass I won't have any choice - I'll pull 'em out of here so fast your head will spin in the draft, and put 'em in a sane school.. and I'll organize the rest of the parents to do the same. You'll loose all your funding, since it is on a per child basis, and this building will be turned into a YMCA gym before I'm done." The uniforms never happened.
Or when they tried to put my son on ADHD drugs. I set my foot down hard on that shit, too. Not gonna drug my kid out for being a kid. Not on my watch. So that never happened, either. He's alive, well adjusted, and doing just fine as an adult now, all without ADHD zombie drugs.
But none of this bullshit they claim is so prevalent on the "news" is happening here, nor anywhere near here. None of the teachers are teaching D.I.E. or "queer theory" or "critical race theory" or any of that nonsense. No one is trying to trans our kids. When it started, we pinched that crap right out. Then we raised hell on the government until they outlawed it here. None of that would have gotten accomplished if what we did was to go whine to a news outlet so that everyone else across the nation could whine about it, too. Whining is not action. We took action.
And now it don't happen here. That frees our time to be on the lookout for the Next Big Thing trying to infiltrate here... and nip it right in the bud too, hard.
So what if the FBI wants to label concerned parents taking action as "terrorists" Fuck 'em. it's our kids, not theirs, that we are defending. Name-calling has never much bothered me, and has never affected my decision making. I see it for what it is - a weak attempt to "shame" folks into coming around to their way of thinking. It's nothing. Just air getting moved around by flapping mouths. Push comes to shove, we can home school our kids and take 'em out of the crazy loop altogether.
Now, that's just in Real Virginia. Up in Northern Virginia or "Yankee Virginia", the area around DC, they are still having trouble. That's because while the parents fought, they didn't fight hard enough, and they didn't fight with their feet and checkbooks. Had they evacuated to saner climes, there wouldn't be anything left there to screw up. Bt they didn't. They made their decision, and it was to not abandon their cushy lives for the sake of their offspring, so they get what they get, and are STILL fighting. They always will be until they get serious about it and set their foot down solidly.
My son actually DID live in Yankee Virginia, and he DID move his whole family to a saner area, a rural farm... and he took his tax revenues with him. I like to think i set a good example for him while he was young, but whether I did or not, I have a feeling he won't be pushed around too much when I'm dead and gone.
The thing is, this whole ruckus is a mind-fuck, a psyop. What they are doing is flooding the information stream with bullshit, things that are vanishingly rare, and making it look like it's everywhere. That gives folks a "resistance is futile" mindset, so they just don't resist, or don't resist hard enough. The folks pushing the psyop are vastly, VASTLY outnumbered, and if folks ever figured out just how rare it really is, and just how badly they outnumber the opposition, it would all come to a screaming, grinding, screeching halt.
Instead, we have someone, somewhere, claiming that something that happened to a kid in San Francisco is rampant, and happening just EVERYWHERE, in order to paralyze folks in fear and inaction.
That is why they have to keep folks looking over their shoulders for the boogey man who will never come for them. It's why they have to keep that narrative pumped up and the distraction strong. If folks ever realized the power they have, and how easy it would be to fight back by simply not budging and standing in a bloc, it would be game over.
Can't have that, now can we?
Now, we do have a few folks here, a very few, parroting all that hippy-dippy peace-love-dove-beads-bells-incense-and Hare Krishna all you groovy hippy freak crap, but they just get laughed at. A lot. It makes 'em mad as hell, but they are powerless to do anything but yammer on. This last election cycle, we did have one outlander come swooping in, claiming to be a native of the area, talking all that hippy bullshit and what all she was gonna do here when she was elected. She was some half Indian chick from the Wannabi Tribe somewhere out west, claiming to be a native Mountain Indian. She got what she had coming to her at the ballot box. I don't think anyone, EVER, has lost so badly and decisively in an election here. One of her mistakes was posting a photo of herself and her mother, while claiming to be a pureblood Indian. Her ma looked an awful lot like Lori Lightfoot, and not very "Indian" at all. Her second mistake was to open her mouth and let all the bullshit fall out of it. Too many communist catch-words for our taste around here.
That was when I finally realized that "all elections are local", and that you build what you want from the ground up, not from the gable peak down.
Act locally. If enough people do that to reach critical mass, a foundation will be built that is entirely unsuitable to support the higher levels, and the whole divided house will collapse, to be built back up into what people really want, on the proper foundation.
