The gut response is to point out that I bet these people have no issues with the graphic content in the Bible and weren’t nearly as angry when Donald Trump said he could grab women by the pussy and have never had issue with their library having Fifty Shades of Grey. 1/

Because let’s be honest, “graphic content” isn’t what this is about at all. It’s about creating fear. It’s about creating moral panic. It’s to shock you and make you so angry and fearful that you vote out of fear to protect what they want…2/

Which is to protect kids only if those kids are straight, white, and Christian. And even then, protect them from what? Not from gun violence, not from underfunded schools, not from the impacts of climate change or lack of healthcare… 3/

…from anyone else who doesn’t fit a narrow, hateful view of what’s acceptable. 4/

It’s to get you so angry and fearful that some “dark forces” (aka Democrats, teachers, public schools, colleges) exist solely to molest or indoctrinate your kids so you don’t even notice…they don’t care about you either. And they have no plans to actually make your life better.

They’ll just blast content they claim to find objectionable from a book you’ve likely never heard of and may never read all over TV to get you angry.

And they’ll paint anyone well who isn’t on their side: the side that wants to privatize education and destroy public schools, make it a crime to “say gay,” control women’s bodies…as “groomers.”

Well take it from this so-called “groomer,” it’s bullshit.

There are more of us.

We see right through them.

And we will sure as hell show them in November.
