      TL;DR:

      A bunch of Karens celebrate the banning of “pornographic” and “woke” books in schools and discuss their plans to challenge books, lobby the government and push “biblical narratives.” They talk a lot about prayer, God, the bible, how “lefties” are disrespectful and “on the attack” how “innocent children” are being exposed to “graphic smut.” (“My 14 year old daughter is an innocent child, just out of middle school and they’re making her read this horrible book that has graphic sex scenes!” “My fifteen year old son was in tears because he was exposed to this smutty garbage and we raised him right so he knows how disgusting and unacceptable it is!” “Liberals want to read this stuff to 8 year olds!” “Blah blah blah”)

      Lots of whataboutism and lots of “I’m pro small gubmint and I hate the idea of telling people what to do, but how else are we going to protect the children!!!”

      All crap you know is going on if you’re paying attention to that sort of thing, and a few familiar names if you’re paying attention to who the influencers and activists are in that scene.

      Also, LOTS and LOTS of run of the mill chatroom drama (“He said, she said” “We should ban them, they’re a troll” “I wish admins would take action” “blah blah blah”).

      I didn’t get too far (it’s very long) but at least the beginning was pretty standard stuff from conservatives. Book banning, transphobia, homophobia.

      Favorite part so far ; “We’re just a few hours from THE EVENT OF THE SEASON, advocates!  I’m going to present something tonight that I doubt you’ve heard anywhere else – “CRT” (Christian Race Theory.)  You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wet your pants, but most of all, you don’t want to miss it.”

      Also; “Why do liberals love the phrase “and I’m here for it” so much?”

      And; "I feel like even if it is true, it shouldn’t matter. The PPP money was for businesses- it’s not like Amy was using it to buy her home with it.

      And the same garbage that the left is always pulling- trying to shame someone for being well-off. Or having more. Amy and her husband worked very hard for that money. There’s no reason they shouldn’t have a $2 million house at this point. The arguments are ridiculous."
