Slouching Towards Oblivion

Today's Tweet


Sorry if it looks like I'm elevating and amplifying a very bad actor, but I think I've finally caught up with something.

It's like Boebert is dialing it back half a notch to soft peddle it - coming off the standard bit about a cabal of liberal jews who traffic in children in order to extract the life-giving adrenochrome and blah blah blah.

That shit is stale and losing its potency, and it kinda scares the straights anyway, so the MAGA gang had to find a few other fairy tales to keep the rubes amped up.

This bit about trans kids and genital mutilation seems to be a way to get some of that tasty QAnon shit more deeply embedded in mainstreaming politics, adding it to the rotation of bullshit culture war "issues" that Republicans cycle through like they're flipping over a desk caledar.
