(HuffPost) Former child actor turned far-right extremist Ricky Schroder made a bizarre claim about Pride Month.
Instead of a celebration of LGBTQ communities, Schroder wrote in his Instagram story that it was something much more sinister.
PatriotTakes, which monitors right-wing social media, shared a screenshot:

Once a teen heartthrob, Schroder has in more recent years become known for his extremist views and public meltdowns, including harassing museum staff and Costco workers over mask rules. ............(more)

(4,919 posts)The human mind is hardwired to find patterns. That's how we make sense of things. We find patterns to explain the world around us, but also see patterns that aren't really there. The "man in the moon" is a classic example. Most of us can make out a "face" in the moon in the sky, but primitive man believed it was an actual face.
Conspiracists see patterns, too. Many are not significant... But, their lack of education and critical thinking skills make them attribute coincidences, connections as significant and real... It's hardwired and can be dangerous to the rest of us.

(1,962 posts)He's just getting worse by the day. Whether it's contributing toward Rottenhouse's bond, or abusing people over mask policies, or bigotry like this... Either his views have gotten worse or, like so many others he "doesn't have to be afraid anymore!" because of 2016. Whatever it is, it's obvious he's attended the same "boot camp" as fellow RWNJ piece of shit Scott Baio and wants a violent civil war in this country.
And hell.. I was hearing in the 80's, during the peak of his "teen heartthrob" days that he was a petulant, nasty little asshole even back then. Sounds like he hasn't grown up or evolved in the least. And as the right has gone further right, he's gladly gone for the ride.
Stupid alt-right QAnnoy bigoted fascist has-been.
