“Also, you hear stories about groomers.” Here’s the thing: grooming is a real thing, and it has nothing to do with being trans or letting kids know that trans people exist.
The sad part about all of this groomer talk from the right is: now this language is politically coded and no longer useful for discussing real grooming like high school teachers doing sketchy stuff with their students.
Not that anyone using this language cares about the well-being of actual children, but if they did you’d think they might consider something like this.

QAnon: **
Yeah, sure buddy. Whatever lets you look in the mirror without getting the urge to smash that face into a bloody pulp.

Don’t act like you’re not in the Biden cult like the rest of us. Don’t forget tomorrow is Wednesday so you need to get up, go to work, come home, make dinner for your family, and enjoy the rest of your night and get a good night sleep.

I’m not in any fucking American political cult. I’m not American, I don’t live in the USA, and I think American political “thought” (for want of a better term) is more akin to a cancer than it is to anything useful.
And thus, by my standards, there is no American left in American politics. The leftmost American senator, congressman, or president is a right-lurching centrist by my standards. (And Biden is a slightly left-leaning full-on Nazi.)
(Also, tomorrow is Thursday. 😉 I’m more than half way through my Wednesday.)

How is that relevant to the question of whether leftism/wokeism acts like a cult?
ttmrichter@lemmy.world 2 years ago
What’s relevant is how you latched on to “leftism” as cult-like … while reciting a whole bunch of right wing cult (especially QAnon) talking points about them.
Leftism doesn’t act like a cult. AMERICANS, left or right, are cultists.
