I don’t think so, AFAIK the “groomer” stuff was spearheaded by the usual suspects on the right like Chris Rufo and Jack Pobosiec, starting around the time Disney criticized the Florida “Don’t Say Gay” law. The same folks who were behind the CRT moral panic the year prior.

Shoe sometimes winks at QAnon-adjacent stuff despite calling herself a socialist, but I don’t think she started this one

From interviews I’ve seen with these mouthbreathers lots of them don’t even have kids

EDIT: also holy shit how did I miss the neckbeard with a pedo ‘stache and a fedora and the “stop grooming kids for sex” sign, you can’t make this shit up.

Vermont just re-elected its Republican Governor with nearly 70% of the vote. 70%! In Bernie Sanders’ state!

If things were remotely normal people would be talking about Phil Scott as an obvious presidential contender. But everyone knows he couldn’t win a GOP primary since he’s not foaming at the mouth to burn trans people at the stake or whatever

While it’s infuriating they tried to cancel my vote, this decision is relatively limited and just blocks the election boards from pre-canvassing the ballots.

It’s stupid and will lead to delays but at least so far even this tame Republican judge upstate wasn’t willing to go as far as the fascists asked her to.
