And they said that "don't say gay" was inaccurate.

MODERATORS
The sheer brazenness with which they will lie to your face when they say stuff like this is stunning.
But what is kind of terrifying is that I personally think that, in the moment that they are saying it, they genuinely fool themselves into believing it. They simultaneously know their true intentions and that the argument they are making is complete nonsense, but in the moment that they are making it, they convince themselves of it fully. That is a dangerous thing to get into the habit of.
Their entire ecosystem is set up to encourage wink-wink-nudge-nudge plausible deniability.
The veneer of conformity is what they want. It gives Xerxes in 300, "The [left] demands that you stand but all I ask is that you kneel."
Conservatives are a plague of hatred and oppression. There is no such thing as a "good conservative".
Do your part to combat this plague in your daily life. Teach your children why we do not do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Marginalize the hate group to marginalize the hate.
They aren't Conservative anymore, they're just regressive.
Just disgusting. These cowards need to stop controlling schools.
More lefties need to get onto the school boards, frankly.
This just in: Schools no longer allowed to play "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" because of the line "gay happy meetings"
Sometimes when you're fighting the War on Christmas, casualties happen 🎄🎁
Is this the cancel culture that we keep hearing is coming for the MAGA crowd??
These people have lost their damn minds.
The mental gymnastics...
