"It's just two people getting married."
"They're not going to indoctrinate your kids."
"This doesn't affect you personally."

You've heard all these lines before.

But here's the thing: Every single conservative fear about gay marriage came true.

We'll show you. (1/14) 🧵Image
1: Gay marriage is a slippery slope.

For years, when conservatives worried that gay marriage could lead to things like polyamory or polygamy, the Left scoffed.

LGBT outlets like The Advocate regularly "debunked" the claim with stories like this: (2/14)Image
Here are some headlines from that very same outlet, just a few years later.

"Polyamory seems suddenly to be everywhere — and very present in the public consciousness," they reported just one year after they published the piece above.

Their words, not ours! (3/14)

2: Religious liberty will be harmed.

In 2015, Marco Rubio warned that "we are at the water’s edge of the argument that mainstream Christian teaching is hate speech." He was roundly mocked by liberals.

The Daily Beast accused him of a "pathetic persecution complex." (4/14)Image
Image
But Rubio was obviously correct. Almost immediately after the Left won on gay marriage, they launched a coordinated campaign to persecute religious Americans who still believed in the traditional definition of marriage.

And in many cases, the courts...just let them do it. (5/14)
Image
Image
The victims of this campaign are real people, with real names and faces. Jack Phillips, a Christian baker in Colorado, politely refused to custom-bake a cake endorsing gay marriage. As a result, he's been in court for more than a decade, and has lost 40% of his business. (6/14)

3: Christian institutions will be persecuted for their beliefs.

After years of mocking Christians who worried they would lose their rights, the Left turned on a dime.

Both of these headlines were published less than 72 hours after gay marriage was legalized nationwide. (7/14)Image
Image
This one was obvious from the very beginning.

During the arguments for Obergefell, the 2015 Supreme Court case that legalized gay marriage, Obama's solicitor general was forced to admit that the ruling could cause Christian institutions to lose their tax-exempt status. (8/14) Image
4: They're coming for your kids.

This, too, was dismissed as a "trope."

In the wake of Obergefell, Media Matters warned journalists not to cite "debunked horror stories" such as the idea that "public schools will be forced to teach children about same-sex marriage." (9/14)Image
...do we really even have to explain why conservatives were right about this one? (10/14) Image
5: The LGBT movement will only become more radical.

Many LGBT activists sought to frame gay marriage in moderate terms. "Gay couples just want to be like us," they told us.

Some even made a "conservative case" for gay marriage. (Sound familiar?) (11/14)Image
Image
But marriage was only ever a stepping stone on the path to an even more fundamental war. After destroying "gender roles," the Left moved on to the very concept of gender.

With transgenderism, the Left has now arrived at the final frontier: Biological distinction itself. (12/14)
Today, the Left seeks to not only destroy the idea of differences between men and women, but to artificially dismantle the structural evidence that those distinctions ever existed at all — evidence that is written into the basic composition of the human body itself. (13/14) Image
6: It was never about "tolerance" and "inclusion." It was about fundamentally transforming America.

We made a video about this earlier this month, which we'd recommend to all of you. We'll let it speak for itself. (14/14)

"I've seen your swing. I know your swing. Let's not act like children."

Add this to the list of great debate moments in U.S. history.

We're a young country. But we punch way above our weight class when it comes to political dunks.

Let's look back at a few of our best. (1/10)
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas (1858)

The Lincoln-Douglas debates are arguably the most famous debates in U.S. history. Each had to make a one-hour opening statement followed by a 90-minute rebuttal—outside and without microphones!

Lincoln's roasts were legendary: (2/10)Image
Image
Douglas complained that Lincoln’s jokes were "like a slap across my back."

"Nothing else—not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions—disturbs me," Douglas said. "But when he begins to tell a story, I feel that I am to be overmatched." (3/10) Image

If there's one takeaway from tonight, it should be this: It's no longer possible to deny that Joe Biden is senile.

This is happening live, on primetime television, for every American to see.

For months, the Left tried to gaslight us about this. Don't let them forget it. (1/9)
Interviewer: "Have you ever seen anything that makes you question or concerned about [Biden's] mental faculties?"

DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: "No." (2/9)
Mitch Landrieu, co-chair of the Biden campaign: "I am telling you this guy is tough, he is smart, he is on his game...this kinda sense that he's not ready for this job is just a bucket of B.S." (3/9)

Today, Joe Biden plans to announce his latest executive order: A mass amnesty for illegal aliens.

It's even worse than you think.

Let's take a look. 🧵 (1/8)Image
Biden's plan, euphemistically titled "Keeping American Families Together," will provide amnesty to more than half a million illegals.

It provides a path to permanent legal residency for 500,000 illegal aliens who are married to U.S. citizens, and 50,000 of their children. (2/8)Image
Biden's plan extends this amnesty via a "parole-in-place" policy — similar to the "humanitarian parole" scheme the administration has used to admit hundreds of thousands of Afghan and Ukrainian refugees.

It's essentially a backdoor around existing U.S. immigration law. (3/8) Image

The Biden campaign is still mouthing the same "free trade" dogmas that hollowed out the American heartland.

Trump wants to tax Americans less, and foreign producers more.

Biden wants to tax Americans more, and foreign producers less. It's that simple.

A quick thread. 🧵 (1/5)
Last year, @cpa_tradereform modeled the effects of Trump's proposed 10% universal tariff—the very policy that the Biden campaign is dead-set on opposing. The results:

- Real household incomes increase by $7,000
- 3.3 million new jobs created
- 3.61% real GDP growth

(2/5) Image
What's more, Trump's tariff plan would bring in $460.3 billion in new federal tax revenue a year, which would allow policymakers to reduce income taxes on American families or further invest in pro-growth tax credits. Higher tariffs on foreigners, lower taxes for Americans. (3/5)Image

Where does the "Q" in "LGBTQ" come from?

Most people know it stands for "queer." But you might not know just how radical the term really is.

To understand the modern "LGBTQ" movement, we have to understand "queer theory"—a revolutionary movement born in the 1990s. (1/11) Image
"Queer," of course, was originally used as a pejorative for gays and lesbians. It was "reclaimed" as a positive identity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the creation of radical groups like Queer Nation.

But its meaning remains somewhat ambiguous to this day. (2/11) Image
The institutionalization of the term is generally traced back to the militant LGBT group Queer Nation, founded in New York in 1990.

Queer Nation's manifesto called for "a moratorium on straight marriage, on babies, on public displays of affection among the opposite sex." (3/11) Image

It's a familiar dance: The Left abuses its power, and the Right responds by feebly warning that someday, when the roles are reversed, their opponents will come to regret it.

But they rarely do — because Republicans almost never follow through.

A quick thread. 🧵 (1/10)
For more than a year now, conservatives have been angrily predicting that this time, the Left had really gone too far.

When the Left first launched its lawfare campaign against Trump last year, that was the Right's response: "This is going to come back to bite them." (2/10)Image
Image
But recent history suggests that the Left has no reason to take the Right’s threats seriously — at least thus far.

"Precedents" always seem to bind the Right. They rarely, if ever, bind the Left.

This, from @willchamberlain, is exactly right: (3/10)
