A MAGAt was talking about school children wearing cat makeup

[doc03]

and wanting litter boxes in classrooms. I don't keep up with the crazy Q Anon stuff. WTF is that about?

[mercuryblues]

1. Crazy Qanon stuff

[doc03]

2. I don't watch Fox News so I have no idea where that is supposed to be going on nt

[gratuitous]

3. It's another ooga-booga that's not happening

But conservatives have convinced themselves that school children are identifying as animals, dressing up as animals, and demanding litter boxes instead of using the restroom.

The shortest way to cut this nonsense off is to ask where this is supposedly happening? This fable would lend itself to video and photographic confirmation: Pictures or it's not happening. You can then be justified in pointing and laughing at their gullibility, because this shit is just too stupid for words.

4. More conspiracy BS

[Archae]

5. Someone saw an article that mentioned cat litter buckets were in some classrooms.

The buckets of cat litter were for in case of a school shooting attack, and some child had to go to the bathroom.

That story was twisted into the "Furrys want to have litter boxes in classrooms because they are animals."

Like so much of the Internet nowadays, it's absolute bullshit.

But this is an offhand way to attack trans kids as well.

6. I swear half of this country should be in a mental hospital nt

9. Or at least on antipsychotics.

Unfortunately, there are no anti-stupidity or anti-gullibility treatments.

More's the pity.

13. Yes there are, it's just that they take a couple generations to have an effect

Education. A high quality, SECULAR education that teaches critical thinking skills.

But like I said, it would take a couple generations before we would see improvements

15. I should have said medications, rather than treatments.

I've said many other threads that I am never sure whether to feel sorry for or scornful of people who fall for such BS. Even as a little girl, when I'd see National Enquirer headlines about "Woman Gives Birth To 3-Headed Alien Baby," I wondered why anybody anyoone would believe such nonsense, let alone pay money for it.

12. I couldn't agree more!

7. The latest outrage plucked from

some maga sphincter.

Plenty to read on it-

8. Yes there is cat litter being placed in school classrooms but it is far from,...

The Qanon bullshit scenario. The truth is really quite sad,... especially how the Fascists bend and twist reality.

The GOP Started a Panic Over Kitty Litter in Classrooms. The Real Story Is A Lot Sadder

(begin snip)
The same people who brought you QAnon are back with another bizarre theory about the hidden liberal agenda. But this time, Democrats’ evil plans center around… kitty litter?

Last week, Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Col.) warned a Republican women’s luncheon that schools “are putting litter boxes in schools for people who identify as cats,” according to the Colorado Times Recorder.

10. More bullshit targeting LGBTQ and anything outside their comfort. But the truth of where this came

from is darker and sad. After Columbine, there was discussion about what could be done for young kids under siege in classrooms--for possibly long periods in shooting events, and this was one possible consideration for inclusion in an emergency closet within the classrooms.

Of course, they have taken the little-known discussion and run with it to make it sound like schools are encouraging young kids into that "furries" phenomenon--something I never heard about until an old CSI years ago (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0534691/ )

More RW bullshit.

11. The shocking need to have litter buckets in children's classrooms is tragic.

ReThugs conspiracy a-holes are disgusting, and the corrupt politicians they elect who protect weapons of war instead of children's lives---there are no words.
