The new reactionaries: LGB OK, TQ+ a bridge too far

"It's the TQ+ that I'm not going to support," she said, referring to transgender and queer or questioning people.

 

Ron DeSantis is up against an American public grown and growing overwhelmingly libertine on sex, which is one reason why Trump remains as popular as he is

Trump endorsed in '24 by all of Michigan's Republican members of Congress: Walberg, Huizenga, Moolenaar, Bergman, and McClain

 Story.

Update:

LOL, The Detroit Free Press mentioned that Detroit's own Republican Congressman John James (MI-10) also endorsed Trump in a separate statement mentioned further down, making all six Republicans in Michigan endorsing Trump, not just the five mentioned in the lede.
 

Progressives and liberals are in a panic over Ron DeSantis because he's tapping into a huge shift in public support for law and order and against LGBT

 Gallup shows the huge shifts in 2023 from 2022.

Support for the death penalty is up 5-points nationally. Support for LGBT is down 7-points. Those are massive changes.

And on most of the issues tracked, which are barometers of libertinism in the United States, support is also down, from birth control to fornication, to teenage sex and divorce.

Win or lose, DeSantis represents the backlash against the left which is sweeping the country.

LOL: In September 2009 peak oil disciple Ugo Bardi channeled 1972's The Limits to Growth gang saying "we are in trouble with crude oil"

From his

“Peak Civilization”: The Fall of the Roman Empire :



As things stands, we seem to be blithely following the same path that the Roman Empire followed. Our leaders are unable to understand complex systems and continue to implement solutions that worsen the problem. As the wise druid was trying to tell to Marcus Aurelius, building walls to keep the barbarians out was a loss of resources that was worse than useless. But I can see the politicians of the time running on a platform that said, “Keep the barbarians out! More walls to defend the empire”. It is the same for us. Tell a politician that we are in trouble with crude oil and he/she will immediately say “drill deeper!” or “drill, baby, drill!” Negative feedback kills. ...

we are going where the laws of physics are taking us. A world with less crude oil, or with no crude oil at all, cannot be the same world we are used to, but it doesn’t need to be the Middle Ages again.

This is great: Ron DeSantis doubles down on gender-fluid Donald Trump


 DeSantis: Donald Trump Was "A Pioneer Of Injecting Gender Ideology Into The Mainstream"

The Ls, Gs, and Bs are screaming like stuck pigs, but it's their own fault for including the Ts.

T is a bridge too far.
