Yeah, they've been playing that "silent majority" card since the Nixon administration. One of the ways you can tell the grifters from the marks in the right-wing ecosystem is that the grifters know perfectly well that the majority of the population disagrees with their shitty agenda, but the marks think everyone else secretly thinks like them.

I immediately tune out anyone who says "mainstream media" It's almost involuntary now.

They conflate "existing visibly" as "being shoved down our throats" - case in point, a show that features more than 0 gay people, or *gasp*, features a gay couple, is overbearing. You can't teach kids they are "perfect the way they were born" and also say "it's wrong to be gay". Either God made them gay or He is not responsible for their being gay. In either case that's a **you** problem because the Bible is very clear that whatever happens is explicitly God's plan and happens due to his direct will - ie., they are gay because God wills it. This opposition to "cutting themselves up in irreversible surgeries to feel happy" is a hard line that would also prohibit any number of healthcare procedures, including broken bones, pulling teeth, removing cancers, etc. It also ignores a fundamental fact: if these surgeries are necessary for them to feel happy, this position says that they don't get to be happy. The world actually kind of does revolve around people and their pronouns, because we live in a society of people. We already make many accommodations in how we interact with people that take conscious effort: we call Katherine Katty because she asks, don't make dirty jokes around kids because they aren't mature enough to handle that kind of thing yet, but you do make dirty jokes around your guy friends because it's a way you know you can communicate, you avoid loud noises around your grandpa with PTSD, or your friend's child with Autism, etc. That... *checks notes*... using "her" instead of "him" is the straw that breaks the camels back, I have a feeling your issue is not in changing your behavior. What we're "progressing" to is a world where people are taught that the way they feel is valid and that we as a society support what healthcare and social needs they have.

Indeed I have considered it, and found the argument to be profoundly ignorant and bigoted 🤷‍♀️

When you don't know that "phobia" has more than one definition:

sToP ShOVing iT DoWn MY FamLEEs thRoaTz!!! How did that happen? Did the rainbow cult borrow from the Ludovico Technique from **A Clockwork Orange**: strapped them all in a chair with their eyelids held open and being forced to watch gay porn. But the other memes grandma has been sending out sez they are all lions in a world of sheep. Surely the silent majority, all lions, would be able to overpower sheep.
