After all these years of watching Republicans attack everything from music, to movies to TV, to sex, to books, to comics, to amusement parks, to women, minorities and immigrants all trying to improve their lives I have come to a determination. They hate fun. Or more to the point, their idea of “fun” is skewed beyond belief.

Republicans idea of fun, is to make sure no one has any. That is what brings them joy, ruining things for everyone else. They are too lazy to take care of their own children so they expect the government to do it for them. Which is pretty funny considering how much they like the government. “Ban this book so I don't have to pay attention to what my kid is reading”. “Ban LGBTQ people so I don't have to explain to my child that not everyone is born the same and that it’s possible the book we base our life on that was written 2000 years ago, and translated hundreds of times, might have screwed up a few things”. “Ban abortion and birth control because sex is dirty and disgusting and should only be used to make babies”. “Ban porn so I don't have to monitor my kids internet use”. “Ban history so my kid doesn’t know his great great grandfather was a slave owning prick, it might upset them”. “What? No you cannot read that book, listen to that music or see that movie, because I say it’s bad for my kid.

Over the years there was always something “destroying our youth”. Dime store novels in the 40’s, comic books in the 50’s, rock and roll music in the 60’s, drugs in the 70’s video games in the 80’s, if they can’t find something new to blame for all their problems they just recycle.. drugs, music, books all making a reappearance in the 21st century as the destroyer of youth. Funny how none of those things ever “destroyed” anything. And they all have one thing in common, they are fun. Yes you can argue about drugs but the fact is they are fun, if they weren’t, people wouldn't do them.

Look at the pictures. These are our two outcomes in 2024. Right wingers “grooming” kids to say “fuck you” while standing in front of a “Fuck Biden” sign held up by 2 women in thongs. Left wingers “grooming” kids to accept that it’s ok to be different and to be nice to people. Get out and vote, unless you want to live in the least fun place on earth. Florida is already there. Don’t let it spread.
