“Intellectual debates” over LGBTQ people never just end with intellectual consequences. https://twitter.com/nbcnewyork/status/1511673930796445699

The entire GOP pitch to normie voters is, “Dems are worse.” So when your team tries a coup, you gotta think hard about what’s worse than that. Hence, the “groomer” discourse.

Precisely! Polls are now entirely performative.
And respondents--just like pols on TV--answer the question they want to be asked, not the one that is asked. Thus approval ratings have nichts to do with the person.
Polls have become Festivus poles. https://t.co/XDjL9D6Bsp

Is It Okay to Use the ‘G-Word’? by Jonah Goldberg
The U.N. definition of genocide is legalistic and the result of compromise. So it’s worth looking at Putin’s intent.

Redefining grooming and slinging false accusations of sympathy for pedophilia is pure malice. Blue checks doing it on this website know better, but lots of ordinary folks don't. They hear the words and apply their ordinary meaning. That's incredibly dangerous. /end

The slinging of the word "groomer" or insinuations of sympathy for pedophilia by the same people who spent *years* stanning for the man who appeared in "Playboy Video Centerfold: Playmate 2000 Bernaola Twins" (and that might be the least worst thing he did) is just too much. /1

Against the 'Groomer' Smear by David French (The Dispatch)
It's not 'pro-pedophile' to back Ketanji Brown Jackson, and it's not 'grooming' to oppose Florida's new education law.

So obviously this is a sick person defending Ron Desantis staff accusing people of being child rapists.

But the point is also BS. Opponents called the bill “Don’t say gay” because the initial legislation, which Ron supported, did literally ban “discussion” of sexual orientation. https://t.co/JdkQIZS43F

This is not what grooming is, and not what anyone thinks grooming is. Also, it relies on the idea that everyone was born cis and heterosexual until somebody else like, showed them "Paris is Burning" or something. https://t.co/CAPFjniquw pic.twitter.com/RKw68HxgMs

With "groomer," we may have reached maximum rhetorical outrage. We've already seen dehumanizing language re: migrants, BLM, and COVID. What else is there after calling every perceived enemy a pedophile?
But if escalating rhetoric can't provide the outrage fix anymore, what will? https://t.co/1F5uWEDZTG

the press will spend a week amplifying false GOP claims that a top Supreme Court pick is a pedophile in headlines as a valid policy position, but the very second somebody calls the radical authoritarian GOP exactly what it is, they all rush to the fainting couches https://t.co/H2brxeKxTJ
