Ron DeSantis strikes me as a person who has had his, his wife's and his kids' bodies surgically fitted with permanent black latex body suits from their ankles to their collar bones to ensure none of them are ever sinfully, pornographically naked at any time for the rest of their lives.

Like an Nth Level Never Nude or something.

Enh, that's much more a Rick Santorum thing than DeSantis. I don't think he actually believes the bullshit he spews, or anything at all really; he strikes me as a power hungry opportunist who knows which way the chudwinds are blowing and tacks accordingly. If not this moral panic, he'd glom on to whatever else was popular just as quickly, and cynically.

I came in late on Glenn Beck this morning and he was saying that either Russia or Ukraine is going to invade Moldova, and that this will be the trigger that starts World War 3. I have no idea why either side would want to invade Moldova or why it would do that.

Then he talked to some guy about the rise in teenage suicides/suicidal feelings and what was behind it and gosh you'll never believe what his guest said. It's that social media and porn are replacing good old fashioned American morals and values and the lack of religion is what's causing it. What a surprise.
Russia has been trying to topple the Moldovan government, and this has been alleged by members of the current government there

Ukraine is absolutely not invading a country that has been mostly allied with them against Russia

Their argument that acknowledging the existence of gay people and trans people will tempt children into being gay or trans is so weird to me. Is it wrong for me to say that's simply not a thing a straight and/or cis person who's secure in their own identity would ever think?

I don't get this gaslighting. He wants to call book bans a hoax, but also doesn't want certain books in classrooms. I mean at this point he might as well call the media a bunch of groomers for wanting pedo books in schools or something, it's what his voters think anyway.

It's a very, very narrow group of books that get brought up, now that I think of it. Lawn Boy, which I guess has an inappropriate relationship between a man and a minor? (they never even quote that one, they're afraid they'll get banned or canceled or whatever). The other one that is by far the most mentioned by reactionaries is Gender Queer. There is a set of pages where a [trans man?] fantasies what is must be like to get a blow job, and a depiction of a character performing fellatio on a strap on dildo, there's no actual genitalia shown in the pages themselves, they only use it for shock value. The conclusion they seem to draw is that anyone opposed to regulating books in schools is actively pushing that "filth" on children, and a whole lot of performative disgust about the matter.

Now you'd think if they saw fit to go all scorched earth on the school libraries they'd be able to bring up hundreds of examples of inappropriate books, but it's almost always those two examples. It's such a non starter, even assuming we had those books in our library the racy bits would have long been torn out for someone's spank bank or used in pranks like being taped inside a bathroom stall somewhere. But nobodies getting exposed to it that doesn't want to/isn't ready to see it.

Does Scott Adams actually have any reach these days or is he just an amusing RW crackpot that we enjoy laughing at here? I wonder about this because the only time I ever hear about his musings is in this thread, although that is also true for people like Ben Shapiro that I know are signal boosted to hell and back and, sadly, DO have a lot of reach.

There's a certain subset of Republican voters who kinda understand they have something to lose under a Christian Nationalist government, even if they are straight white men, that's who he's trying to convince here.

Adams has at least some reach, since he's got a newspaper comic strip (although much fewer now that some of them have dropped him after that racist outburst). I know nobody really reads newspapers these days but he definitely has put in poo poo about a black employee identifying as a white man to pull one over on those idiots in HR as well as plenty of "Men are like this and women are like this." It's still a well known strip and he's been doing his best to put in as much culture war bullshit as he can.

As far as how much reach his full mask off streams have, no idea.

Just going from the wikipedia article, it's an adult remembering a sexual encounter they had as a kid, with another kid. It's likely that the source of the attack on that book couldn't find a way to quote it that made it seem pornographic, or realized they could make it sound much, much worse without quotation.

The aggravating thing is that they will pick the most extreme examples to frighten and disgust parents into supporting their bigotry. So whenever you suggest "this is an overreaction" they'll post the same strap on dildo blowjob scene from gender queer. It doesn't matter how benign everything else is, it all gets held up to the most obscene examples.

All these folks are now in a very tight holding pattern waiting for the SCOTUS to overturn Obergerfell and Lawrence like Alito and Thomas have said they plan to do next. They're just biding their time and doing everything within the currently existing legal bounds in the United States to cloudseed the idea in peoples' heads that LGBT+ people are monsters that need to be exterminated and they're all lined up at the starting gate with their weapons in hand waiting for the green light to start killing people.

I'm slightly surprised they haven't made poo poo up about Stephen King being available in schools since they'd at least have a valid conclusion drawn from unsound facts. Or maybe the underage gangbang in It isn't on their radars since hey, it's straight.

(the reason I'm even thinking about this is I donated a shitton of books to my local elementary school after my mum died and I specifically excluded all King books)

I hate this loving meme because, among other reasons, nothing about that character or the one it's based from gives any indication that it's from a videogame without the person making it telling me so. It doesn't look like a video game character. None of the behavior has anything to do with being a video game character. Unless you're playing some kind of text parser game like Starship Titanic, the things that player characters say in video games are just as limited as the things the NPCs say! What video game are the guys standing around putting hands on eachtothers' shoulders from? What does saying something, being contradicted, and the silently getting little angry eyebrows have to do with being a videogame character?!

Right? I listened to that speech (or at least whatever part of it Bongino played that was supposed to make me feel stupid) and all I took away from it was that "yes we're trying to ban books but the liberal media is telling you that we're trying to ban books and we all know how much they lie all the time". Also, "how is opposing pornography in school libraries a BAD thing and why do liberals want PORN in our schools?"

And for some reason I didn't notice it right away but isn't it like Marketing 101 not to put your rival's logo right there front and center like that regardless of what you're trying to communicate? poo poo, man, at least put it upside down or put some blood drops on it.

The podium sign is just another attention grabber. He doesnteven have to mention it, no one standing at that podium does, their audience already knows to get incensed at the very thought of that narrative. It's could simply act like bad subliminal imagery in that regard,they win favor and influence simply by reminding their audience that immigrants bad and biden = more immigrants.

I can't help but laugh at the use of the meme because every redditor and redditor adjacent shithead started using the meme in the same way at the exact same time, like actual npcs. It's almost as if they have extremely little self awareness, hmm I wonder why that would be?
