    Marjorie Taylor Greene: Gay sex is so hot that everybody would be doing it if they were allowed to

    Reminds me of that time I heard a guy say "we can't allow transgender people, because if we did, every guy would just make themselves girls and we'd go extinct".

    So....you have to force people to be straight or else people will simply be gay?

    • Who's the groomer again?
    • Sounds like God kinda fucked up if this would be a regular problem in humans if this is something God did not want.

    Bi and nonbinary people, along with lesbians doing IVF to have children, could feasibly sustain the human population.

    You'd be surprised how prevalent this view (well, not exactly this view, but close to it) is in evangelical circles. They look at how many people (esp. youths) identify as LGBT compared to 20-30 years ago and just extrapolate. Of course, it can't be that more people are just OK with openly being LGBT or people now have more information and social acceptance so they more easily discover that about themselves. Nope! Because they believe no one is inherently LGBT, they think being LGBT is simply a matter of being brainwashed or being raised a certain way (at least 75% of evangelicals believe this). So if those dirty Marxists keep brainwashing our kids to be gay and trans, then yeah eventually we all will be...

    Something I have noticed about a good deal of conservative talking points or takes is that the are contingent on one thing... they require you to care about their concerns.

    If she told me this, I would simply reply with "so?"

    None of these are exclusive "or"s: I just want to know if she's actually that dumb, or if the people who bankroll her just like having her say the dumbest stuff to annoy people, or if she's just aware of how to appeal to her base of people who just want their representative to annoy the rest of the country

    This reminds me of that study where they ask people to estimate demographics in the US. People thought that (on average) 30% of Americans are gay and 20% are trans. The actual percentages are 3% and 1% respectively.

        Also IDK what that means for poll results, I'm just a dummy who likes gardening and beekeeping. But I guess it's worth pointing out that the business is a wholly conservative operation.

          It means that they self-select for the dumbest freaks on the planet. Their audience is going to have terrible opinions because they are fundamentally incurious, lead-poisoned and pampered beyond belief. When your audience consists of mostly anglophone boomers, your "reader-interactions" will reflect that.
