U gotta admit the Rs are smart. They have the left defending drag shows for kids when there’s no way in the world that’s a winning proposition for mainstream. They could get Trump elected just with this issue alone. Yea the Ds will feel morally correct and inclusive and self righteous; the .0001 percent that cares about Drag will like them, they’ll feel like they did something right because someone convinced them that drag is important to most gay people and it’s central to gay life when it’s not at all (I’m gay btw), but they’ll be wondering why 7-9 of the seats on the SC are conservative..because they fell for another trap and spent all their capital on another issue that’s hopelessly unpopular with the mainstream. 😂.

All while trying to spin it as an attack on drag when it’s clearly an attack on children participating in adult content and most people can see right through that. While dissing and talking down people that disagree with them.

You're going way too deep, the real conservative strategy has been obvious for decades: attack education. If your voter base is stupid, it'll be easier to manipulate them. Conservatives now think the Statue of David is pornography, there's nothing they won't consider a danger to children (besides guns).

Kids at drag shows have never been a thing, outside of anecdotal cases. Anyone concerned about hypothetical kids at drag shows should be way more concerned with kids at church or with their elected officials.

Right, and right. But they’re clever enough to use that anecdotal case knowing the left will fall for the bait and oversell. So then that little issue becomes a big issue.

The leaders are doing it yeah, but the average right wing drone thinks it's happening at every single gay person's house because they are a bunch of morons.
