Talk about BS!

The left is constantly applying false terms to anyone on the right that gets to them. They are liars. 90% of them are racists. They are all fascists. Homophobes. Actually, after that, like another 20 or so 'phobias' made up.

And yet the media, who are the leaders in doing this, claim it's the other way around. :rolleyes:

NY Times: GOP Pushing Mean-Spirited Identity Issues to ‘Inflame…Base at All Costs’

The New York Times consistently portrays Republicans as marauding culture war aggressors, even when it’s the hard-left that fires the opening shots. In “Republicans See an Opening as Identity Issues Divide Americans,” Katie Glueck and Patricia Mazzei presented Republicans as callous and divisive for pushing legislation in various states that: halt the use of puberty blockers and hormone treatment for “transgender” children; forbid classroom lessons on gender identity; insist student athletes compete in accordance with their biological sex.

The online headline:


“Red States Push L.G.B.T.Q. Restrictions as Education Battles Intensify -- With an eye toward parents’ anxiety, Republicans have put forward a wave of laws on classroom instruction, youth sports and health care. Some of the young people at the center feel isolated.”

Never mind the left-wing radicalism of treating self-diagnosed children with hormone treatments or teaching white students to feel personal guilt about their “privilege.” At the Times, identity extremism only emerges from the right.

The reporters left love notes for Utah’s Republican Gov. Spencer Cox for his brave embrace of “pronouns.”


Last April, a high school senior in Utah named Gabriela Merida joined a student town hall hosted by her governor. She introduced herself, noted the pronouns she used and broached the subject of mental health challenges facing young L.G.B.T.Q. people. How, she asked, did the state plan to help constituencies like hers?

“My preferred pronouns are ‘he,’ ‘him’ and ‘his,’ so thank you for sharing yours with me,” Gov. Spencer J. Cox, a Republican, replied. “We want everyone to feel included. We want everyone to feel safe. And we want everyone to understand that they belong.”

….His mention of his pronouns has become fodder for right-wing derision and misleading video clips. And deep-red Utah is now at the center of a new fight that is reordering the nation’s politics, roiling its education system -- and, for some Americans, shaking their sense of belonging as a midterm election year unfolds.
