GOP's new favorite word....

[kadee79]

"Groomer"....  They have a vivid imagination!

"Groomer" is the new favorite term being used by far-right commentators and activists to describe opponents of Florida's Parental Rights in Education law, sparking outrage among LBGTQ advocates who say that it is a smear that feeds into a trope casting those in the community as pedophiles.

The Florida bill signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis week, which opponents have decried as the "Don't Say Gay" law, prohibits instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity from kindergarten through third grade.

"Groomer" started to gain traction as a term around the time the Florida legislature passed the bill last month. Those on the fringes argue that opponents of the Florida law and other similar measures are enabling children to be primed for abuse by allowing such instruction by pushing them to question their gender identity.

A spokesperson for DeSantis, Cristina Pushaw, tweeted last month that the legislation "would be more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill."

Yes, you’re hearing that a lot because that’s the latest fear mongering campaign by the GOP. Talking to second graders about someone having two daddies is a way to ‘groom’ children so that they can more easily by molested by a pedophile, since all gays want to molest kids.

Kind of like how CRT, a sociology masters level course, makes white kids feel bad about themselves.

Or the hordes of brown criminals flooding the southern border have just one goal in mind - raping white women.

Yes. I forget which GOPer complained about "Wokeism" at a church named Awaken ...

Thought that was tone deaf and oblivious.

the people complaining about "woke" are the most asleep people i have encountered.
it is kind of like those that say "all lives matter" having no concept of the way our society diminishes the value of black lives.

Woke is definitely an insult now. At least it is meant to be an insult.

It was cool maybe 20 years ago (or you) - the only people who use it are conservatives.
