As much as I’ll happily rag on the prequels, I think a lot about a line from the Phantom Menace, as said by Yoda: “Fear is the path to the dark side…fear leads to anger…anger leads to hate…hate leads to suffering.”
Whether it’s drag shows, lesbian sex tapes, or whatever example you want to use, the Republicans don’t personally have a problem with any of them.
What they DO have, is the knowledge that if you give uneducated people someone to hate/fear and then say that YOU are the one who can save them from it while implicitly giving them permission to hate, you’ll get votes.
It’s not about what they personally believe. Never has been. It’s what their voters are afraid of.
Why are Republicans in general so damned afraid of everything?
fear is how they control their base. its not logic, which is why we cant argue with them.
The base is what I was talking about.
they are afraid because they were told to be afraid. lies are repeated every 30 seconds on fox news to achieve this fear.
why do people allow this to happen to them? lack of critical thinking skills and social isolation.

They’re not. At least not “truthfully”.
