    If your kids are able to parse a political ad, but are not able to explain what transgender means, you’ve failed as a parent. Your kids are actively and deliberately being denied basic information if that’s the case, because you can’t not know what transgender means if you’re a person in the world in 2026, certainly not if you go to a normal school or use the internet. It’s next to impossible. Unless you’re homeschooled and surrounded by Orwellian reality editors, which this daft cunt seems to be.

      That’s sadly how conservative politics works. People tend to fear what they don’t know, and defunding education + excessive belief in own intelligence results in the use of fear, hatred, disgust, misinformation, and lack of awareness to stir up furor and influence people to vote against their own best interests
