Originally posted by Starlight View PostRight wing politics is fundamentally about distracting people from how much rich people are ripping them off, so they have to constantly invent new issues for people to focus on / hate in order to distract from the rich people robbing them.
With the repeal of Roe v Wade, and the populace becoming okay with gay rights, it's extra important to the right-wing propagandists that they invent something new for their base to be sidetracked with. They've now invented this whole idea of 'grooming' and they can send their base down the rabbit hole of banning books in schools and getting themselves worked up at drag queens. All the while corporate profits hit record highs as rich people use the excuse of 'inflation' to create inflation by jacking up prices and causing people to suffer as the rich rip everyone off. The rich distracting the masses from the damage they are causing to society has been right wing politics 101 since the beginning.

I don't know what you're talking about regarding litter boxes and caravans.
