Can you tell the difference between the truth and a lie? Does it matter?

America, land of the free and home of brave people determined to hang onto democracy. We need more people taking action against racism and more honest people are needed to support black and brown people, Asians, other religions and all who want to be left alone to love who they love while hurting none of the maga people who run around screaming, "Your children are being indoctrinated!" "Your children are being indoctrinated!" The only people who are indoctrinating children are those very maga politicians and trump supporters who want to change America into a fascist country. If these people get what they want I don't think they are going to like it. Ignorance is not bliss.

Everyone with even half a brain knows you can't indoctrinate someone into sexually being who they are not. You also can't make someone "turn" gay by reading a true story about penguins who are, by nature often naturally gay, just like many other animals and just like humans. That is the epitome of stupid.

Maga people yell, "Ban the book!!" But they don't have an explanation about how the penquins became gay. Were penguins always this way or do they think somehow the penguins were indoctrinated? This extreme is so laughable. You can't make someone, and apparently also animals, be straight or gay. Their assigned sex or sexual nature at birth is never mentioned. Do you think animals get bent out of shape by other animals mating or sleeping with the same sex? No, it's natural to them. Only humans make it perverted, sometimes. A penguin storybook can't make a child want to be gay, but it can teach unconditional love by adopting an orphan penquin. We don't want to teach children about unconditional love so we better hurry and ban the book!

While the GOP distracts you with BS they are hoping you won't have time to understand the motives behind their true agenda. The maga GOP doesn't want children to know the truth unless they deem it okay and they can benefit from it. They think not all truths should be taught. They prefer alternate facts and subjective truths.

How long have parents been trying to change their gay children into straight children? Has it worked? They have often kicked their children out of the family and into the curb, for the sake of their preferred, hateful Christian values they learned in church. Now could they disown their children or make them believe they aren't loved because the thought if them being gay is too overwhelming to handle. Maybe these parents should be prosecuted for child abuse.

Now the GOP blames their failures at the ballot box on the Democrats. Everything they say the Democratic party is doing is to distract you from the fact it is actually the Maga faction who is doing it. They want to believe you are as ignorant as Fox News has tried to educate you into being.

Do you still believe Trump won the 2020 election knowing the hosts didn't believe it and lied to you every day, anyway? They were counting on your ignorance. They desperately wanted you to believe them because their stock payouts depended on it. If you add to it suppressing the vote and wanting to lie to children about the FACTS of history while educating them instead with lies you will understand the method being used to take this country down. Are you helping them destroy our country? Wake up!

The GOP knows they can not make us into being a country only for whites, getting rid of everyone else through violence, imprisonment and execution - of women who get abortions because they are the pro life party or anyone who does drugs - but they will try. If you are registered Republican how will you feel when the violence comes through your own front door? You think it won't? You think the GOP will protect you? Trump will personally come to save the day riding his super fast golf cart? The one he uses to ride ahead so he can cheat other golfers by moving his ball? This is The Chosen One?

Throughout history there have been barbaric kings and leaders of people going back thousands of years, along with dictators of modern history who have all tried and failed to subjugate the people, killing millions along the way.

Centuries ago the Church of England tried to control who was allowed to learn to read so they couldn't read the bible for themselves. The Church could make up anything they wanted and say it was the word of God. Like today, the Church and the kings wanted to force everyone into one religion. We are far from the only country who is trying to do this.

Parts of the bible were rewritten or eliminated. Concepts were changed. Why do you think there is a King James "version" that is still used today? Why is this version true? Word of God? Did God make the changes? The bible was and is still used for political gain. How many conservative churches preach politics from the pulpit, swaying the congregation who trusts them?

Centuries ago the Church needed people to fear going to hell so they could be more easily controlled. There was no education for the peasants. All learning came from the priests. How did that work out? The people eventually left and came to America via Holland and now the GOP is trying to do the same thing again by erasing the truth through lack of education. That is the very definition of ignorance, stupidity and insanity, and they are confident you'll fall for it, which many of you have. The GOP is still using right wing churches to gain power through their congregations.

They tried to convince you Trump was The Chosen One, anointed by God, hoping you are uneducated enough by years of listening to the propaganda of Fox News hosts. Did it work? Do you believe? They told you not to believe any media that contradicts what they say. Have you been a good, obedient republican?

Hate doesn't turn itself off. You have to make an awake conscious decision to understand the world around you because the maga Republicans will change the definition of freedom until enough people are under it's thumb to declare victory. Don't be stupid. Educate yourself. If that makes you "woke", then congratulations.
