Is it just me, or does it seem these really bad homophobic "arguments" from like the 90s are making a comeback in the last couple years? I'm talking the "it's Adam and EVE not Adam and STEVE" grade-school level stuff? It's like the homophobes spent 20 years being afraid of getting bullied for saying such obviously dumb shit but they aren't afraid of that anymore?
This shit works for a reason. People are bombarded with "Chris Hansen Child Rape Special Report!" style news coverage. There's a tacit understanding that kids aren't safe from sexual assault in the US, given that everyone from the town priest to the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children is in on it. Combine the terror of these crimes with a sense of powerlessness as individuals and you create a populace that's more than ready to lash out at any perceived perpetrator.
Americans, being the most propagandized people on Earth, are primed to get rug pulled on this shit over and over again. Every generation brings in a fresh crop of marks. Playing these marks is how conservative movements keep themselves moving.

They're literally recycling homophobia from the 50's now with the groomer shit. It's actually pretty impressive how easily people are fooled by it.
