Guns versus Dresses
There’s a railroad train of legislation across many states targeting trans (broad-stroke trans) activities, like Drag Queen Story Hour. Why? Nobody knows. There are general “common sense” bias-inspired reasons for it which make little sense. Here’s the kicker: we’re paying for this legislation.
That’s right. We’re paying for legislation that prohibits people from wearing certain clothes. Because apparently, what matters more than the fact that the number one cause of death for children right now is guns, is that some people like to cross-dress. This fear-driven legislation is touted by the entertainment company Fox News. Why?
Again, nobody knows. One thing we do know is that while our congresspeople are writing laws around trans, they are not writing laws around gun control. So the optics are very much: don’t be trans, but shoot who you want (to paraphrase of course). We must do better!
One Event, Two Event, Three Event, Ignore
Every so often, Right and Freedom circle back around to the topic of climate change. Today, we’re in the aftermath of a series of tornados that struck in Alabama and Mississippi. We’ve seen the problems of extreme weather along the East Coast and West Coast of the United States.
Surely something so pivotal as climate change is being taken seriously? So certainly Fox News would have some guidance on how to handle climate change. But…that’s not what we found. What we found was a bunch of blame-the-libs articles, culminating in Tucker Carlson’s attacks against the “global climate change agenda.” Let’s be clear on this. Climate change is real. Not preparing for it is irresponsible and reckless, and yet that’s (according to these headlines) the desired stance of Fox News.
Maybe we should stop listening to them before we all die.
