    Even if that claim is remotely close to true. Why? What on earth would the purpose for a gender transition conspiracy possibly serve?

    You have to do more backflips than simone biles to match the mental gymnastics for that kind of thinking.

      His base believes in doing things just for the cruelty. So these ridiculous claims, (gangs taking over apartments, immigrants eating cats, forced transitions) are believable to them based on their own support for doing things just to be cruel.

      Trump’s most successful political method was that he changed lanes faster than anyone could keep up. It allowed him to control the narrative. You’re falling for the same tricks that won him the 2016 election. Don’t engage.

      Just call them weird and move on.

      “Sure is weird someone is thinking about school children’s genitalia instead of their choice of weapons for a school shooting, especially at a time like this.” Done.

        The birth rate is low because right-wing politics make people not want to have children. But I can see how people invested in right-wing politics would be motivated to ignore that.

      They want to force people to be hetero, Christian, and either white male and upper class, or anything else and subservient.

      So for them, other groups forcing/ brainwashing people to be gay/trans, atheist and so on makes perfect sense.

      Because evil. No seriously. And yeah that’s the difference between plausible and implausible conspiracy theories. Plausible ones have motivation. “Why did Donald trump snd the right wing media attempt to overturn the 2020 election?” For power. “Why did the CIA experiment with lsd to control minds?” They were really high and worried that the communists were better at controlling agents than them. “Why do world governments hide proof of alien contact?” There is no clear answer. “Why do world governments work together to hide proof of a flat earth?” To keep the population in the dark.
