IMO, both liberals and conservatives are to blame for a lot of what's going on. The government is way too ingrained in people's lives and should back off. The only reason they do what they do is for votes. They've created a monster. Now big businesses, etc. are jumping on the bandwagon to get customers. The education system is totally broken. They are taking on way too much. Their job is to teach reading, writing, and math, not sexual preferences, etc. That is totally up to the parents. The saddest part of all this is that it's the children who suffer the most. They are so innocent in all of this but, being forced to be involved in things that they should not be worried about.

You think Republicans are advocating for this? At worst Republicans are guilty of doing nothing about it for fear of being canceled, but they have NEVER advocated for this crap. No one is buying this “both sides” argument.

You’re talking about individuals doing bad things, which of course isn’t the argument at all. The groomer label is because democrats want to teach small children at school about sexualized topics and gender issues, and they want to be able to do it without having to tell their parents.

No, I don't know it or what the supposed agenda is. If a child is born straight, why would he or she want to become a transgender? What does a teacher expect to gain by trying to get such a child to become transgender, if that is part of the agenda?

The article ended with a video showing trangenders happily showing off the results of their top surgery. If transgender surgery is supposed to be a horrible thing best avoided, then why wasn't the video about a bunch of people crying and wishing they never got top surgery and hating their parents, teachers or whoever for encouraging them?

So is alternative media. Breitbart is dedicated to being full of it. What media doesn't come with propaganda? Most newspapers have editorial pages.

...i suspected Edmund Burke's quote would go over your head, no worries...

...here's one of mine...

...'never argue with someone who's television set is bigger than their bookcase'...carry on...
