How convoluted can this get?

RW cult-indoctinated hiring "de-programmers" to reverse indoctrinate the reality-"indoctrinated" with THEIR exclusionary indoctrination, dammit.
Echoes of Fox-news indoctrination labeling universal empirical facts as "indoctrination": flip it all to THEIR upside down world... no matter how unsustainable.
Gives me a headache.
Seems to me they've brought the conversion therapy sham under a broader umbrella.

I guess when your kids don't want to talk to you, it's more comfortable to blame it on something external than to face the fact that you're a shitty parent and do the work to become less shitty. *weary sigh*

It’s never the fault of the Qpublican people for their ignorance. Conversion therapy should be classified as a crime against humanity.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
