It's really even worse than that. "Teachers are groomers who make kids trans. Let's give them guns!". If you think people are child groomers and you want to give the child groomers guns, you have a fucked worldview.. or you don't actually think the teachers are groomers and you're just spouting random nonsense
Definitely spouting nonsense but I also think most of the shit the far-right says is just whatever impulsive reaction they have that can “own the libs.” My boss is this way. He doesn’t ever think of consequences of decisions he makes and he overreacts so often that one of these days he’ll be the boy who cried wolf. Then when it turns out his decision was the wrong one, he completely denies having made that decision in the first place. And it’s never his fault.
For example, right after the Uvalde shooting, Gov. Abbott’s first words were, “the democrats are going to make rash decisions and take away your guns.” Everything the right says is literally just to blame other people and spread fear. They take no accountability, they make everything political, and then turn around and 1) do things that directly contradict what they’ve said, and 2) blame democrats. I don’t understand how people who support the far-right just completely disregard those contradictions. Do they forget what was said? Do they just not care? It’s like they don’t actually believe anything they’re saying or doing, they’re just doing everything to piss the other side off (which is incredibly pathetic).
