Yeah, the whole country has become chan board levels of self-radicalizing over this. Copycats seem inevitable
Social panics don't need Covid to spur themselves on tbh. People are great at recognizing patterns where there are none.
"nooaaww the inner cities aaaarrrr liberull but the suburbs are conservative"

OK, I'm gonna piggy back off of this and put a question out there for y'all.
My (cishet) parents have always been really libbed up. And their approach to anything about queerness when I was growing up was to... Literally never mention it, or acknowledge it as a possible way of being, because "We didn't want to force anything on you! We just let you be who you were gonna be :)"
And are still baffled that their hands-off, silent, approach led me to struggle with my queerness so heavily as a teenager.
To my fellow queer Hexbears, did anyone else's lib parents do this? Is this a lib thing? A generational thing? A cishet thing?
