https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3729828-tennessee-gop-files-bill-to-ban-drag-performances-in-public-spaces/amp/Outside of my usual lane but I do feel like this an important issue.
The party of liberty. The party of freedom.
People just out there living their fucking lives and doing what makes them happy, of harm to NO ONE, and Republicans SCREEEEEEEE in with a bill to make it A FUCKING FELONY.
For a man to wear women's clothes and sing songs. That's a felony to them. They want to send you to serious jail for an extended period of time and take away your ability to vote in future elections because a man put on a dress and sang show tunes. Just let the batfuck insanity of that set in. That's the Republican party.
Fuck. Those. People.
They claim its to protect children, despite the fact they literally sent child-fucker Matt Gaetz back to the federal government. We have receipts he paid a child to fuck him and they sent him to government.
And they want to send men in drag to jail.
Do you know what drag queens have never done? Started a war with a nation of brown people. Roved around in bands lynching black men or similar marginalized groups. Strap AK-47s to their chests and storm a library to intimidate librarians who catalog books that mention that gay people exist.
Do you know what drag queens do tend to do? Vote Democrat.
The Republican party is entirely and completely fucking delusional and they thrash and flail and hurt everyone around them in their deleriousness.
Just remember if you feel like skipping elections in 2024, or 2026; these are the people who gain power through your apathy. Don't let them. They don't deserve a single fucking elected office. It doesn't matter what office they hold. They are irrational, fueled by the greatest weaponized propaganda network mankind ever created, and they will fuck up your life and the lives of anyone just out there living their life because they're bitter, hateful, delusional fascists and that's what they do.
Never stop voting them into oblivion. Ever. I don't care how certain the vote looks, I don't care how confident or hopeless you are.
You have a duty to everyone in this nation to make sure the miserable hateful fucks who pass this sort of legislation never hold a single public office. That's a lifetime duty. Take it seriously. Enact it. Because you can be assured they're taking it seriously.
And you can be assured that while this is just tennessee and likely won't pass, just look at what they do the moment they have power in restricting abortion, and coming after gay marriage and every other decent thing they can think of.
They will never stop. So you better not either.
