Let's try this again, ABC: These moms call themselves joyful warriors, but they are a dark money-funded astroturf group that is allied with the Proud Boys and Oath keepers and are a bunch of Hitler-quoting fascist homophobic Karens. Being a little confused by these concerned women whooping u on their local school boards might have been excusable--if local underfunded media outlets were the ones falling for it. When networks like CNN and ABC are falling for this shit TODAY after all the water under the bridge?
Oh hell, no. That's not these guys falling for the hustle--that a CHOICE. That's ignoring that these folks are using a misguided interpretation of "parental rights" to try and change up the educational programming for other folks' kids and insert their own conservative and religious dogma and, sorry, folks, flat-out bigotry.
There's really no excuse at this point for letting the words "Mom" and "Liberty" stimulate some kind of pavlovian respect response. They are just a cynical political hustle. No one here is brand new to this stuff--and I think we need the goddamn mainstream media to step up to where independent media and left bloggers were, what, like one-two years ago. They came to Philadelphia, a big liberal city in a swing state, for reasons.
They aren't mad. They aren't fired up--they are just boosting Republican signals ahead of 2024.

What possibly makes you think they're "falling" for it? Like the Tea Party before it, the deeply institutional, well funded astroturf comports with what the 0.01% owners of the media want.
