'Anti-Grooming' Rally at Disney Is Latest Stop for Culture War Traveling Circus

[Jilly_in_VA]

The Disney corporation has been accused of supporting grooming children ever since it withdrew its support for Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. The law, which has inspired similar legislation elsewhere, bans teachers from teaching kids up to age 12 anything about sexual orientation or gender identity. In just the past week, the Disney grooming conspiracy has rapidly morphed into wild claims that the corporation is on a covert mission to indoctrinate children with a satanic agenda or is a front for a secret pedophilia ring.

Wednesday’s rally was organized by Sean Feucht, one of the “patriot pastors” who has risen to national prominence in recent years amid a surge of Christian nationalism within the GOP. Feucht and his ilk view culture war issues—election conspiracies, vaccines, critical race theory, LGBTQ rights—as primordial battles between good and evil that not only offend Christianity but also threaten what it means to be American.

The Disney controversy couldn’t have come at a better time for the far-right, which has lately found itself rudderless and in need of a new cause du jour. Anger over mask mandates and vaccines, which brought disparate elements of the far-right under one banner, has dissipated now that COVID restrictions have been rolled back.

The vast array of conspiracies against Disney have recently shown up everywhere from the social media feeds of Donald Trump Jr. and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to anonymous forums and far-right Telegram channels. The far-right has latched onto the debacle—as well as a recent slew of state bills and laws targeting the LGBTQ community—as an excuse to traffic in tired transphobic and homophobic slurs, bashing gay and trans people as sex predators or pedophiles. On one pro-Trump forum, users have made threats against teachers , especially LGBTQ teachers, saying “Hang them all” and “Groomers get the rope.”

Little Sean can't even spell "fucked" right. Probably can't say it right either, but sure is fucked up.

1. These people are going to commit murder at some point.

4. That's the goal

That's the whole point of using the word "grooming". It's a loaded word and one that inspires "vigilante justice". They want their good little programmed robots to open fire on LGBTQ's and their allies. Then they'll respond with "We didn't know" or "Thoughts and prayers" or "It was just a prank, bro! LOL!" or whatever these single-cell brained Nazis say in response to causing innocent people to be slaughtered.

2. The Only Thing Disney is Grooming Your Kids For

Is to consume more Disney products.

You want to boycott Disney? Fine. Tell your kid that they can't have a Marvel, Star Wars, or Disney Princess toy in the toy department at Walmart. Enjoy the meltdown.
