Just found out someone I thought was somewhat intelligent recently became maga because they think schools are pushing kids to be trans. I no longer think they're intelligent. I'll never understand this dumb fucking shit. Half the world's problems are caused by people being unable to think to themselves "well I don't understand that. It's kinda weird to me. Oh well"

Instead a bunch of assholes need to create misery in the world to somehow attempt to "resolve" their inability to do that. Rather than have something exist that they don't understand, they need to eradicate it. Nevermind the fact that it's both cruel and impossible to eradicate these ideas and people they don't understand.

My mother in law is constantly posting about how the Biden administration put litter boxes in every school bathroom and they haven't been removed.

Of course, her own grandchildren telling her they've never seen one in any of the 6 schools they've been to is just woke bullshit the teachers are instructing them to lie to their parents about.

The mental gymnastics required to believe these things is astounding, and would almost be impressive if it weren't harming people.

Wow that is absurd. Here's a question for her... Why hasn't God King Trump removed them?

That litterbox story was a test. Humanity failed it by having more than like 100 wackos believe it for even a second. I find it hard to believe any moron could believe it. But I've met them myself so I know it's a thing.

Oh I've brought that up before and it's just been dismissed with a "he's trying but the schools aren't cooperating"

Never mind the fact that the thugs they hire for law enforcement would have no qualms with kicking down a school door and putting guns in faces to do whatever they want (as long as there isn't a scary white man with a gun inside that might shoot at them) and would love the opportunity to "own the libs" by removing these thousands and thousands of litter boxes.

Like I said, the mental gymnastics are astonishing. She believes a single being created the universe, so this probably isn't that big a stretch for her.

Thing is, the litterbox story has a grain of truth buried in there. I believe some schools did put litterboxes in classrooms... In case of extended sheltering in place during a school shooting.

Not OC, but as far as I read it's been reported for one school district in Colorado.

Among other school supplies, teachers in one Colorado public school district were recently given buckets and kitty litter so students are able to use the bathroom in the event of a lockdown, the district confirmed to TIME.

Some teachers were given the “go buckets” at a back-to-school training within the Jefferson County Public School District. This is the same district where the Columbine High School mass shooting left 12 student and one teacher dead in 1999.

“Our emergency procedures include a Lockdown protocol if there is a threat inside the building. Lockdowns require each classroom to be cleared by school security or law enforcement after the threat has been mitigated and can be a long process. The go buckets include items to support students and staff if needed – including bodily functions,” Diana Wilson, a spokesperson for the Jefferson County School District tells TIME.

In April, Jefferson County schools were on lockout all day after a woman reportedly had an obsession with the Columbine shooting and posed a “credible threat” to the Denver area. She was later found dead in an apparent suicide.

For the coming school year, some teachers within the district were also given first aid items, as well as a Sharpie marker so they can write down the time they put a tourniquet on a bleeding student.

John McDonald, the head of security for Jefferson County Public Schools, said that the buckets are not required but they are strongly encouraged, according to Chalkbeat.

“We want to give our kids dignity in the middle of this type of crisis,” McDonald said. “We really start with a belief that training creates a fundamental climate and culture of school safety, and you can be emergency prepared without being emergency scared.”

According to McDonald, the idea came about a few years ago when one of the schools in the district, Alameda International Junior/Senior High School, was locked down for hours after it was reported that there was a gun in the school. Students had to use trash cans and closets for bathroom purposes.

He also says this isn’t the first year that the teachers have been provided with buckets, and that around half of the schools in the district currently have them.

So it was one school district and just litter, not the boxes.

The funny thing here to me is that despite being an atheist/agnostic I actually find the existence of God much more believable than the litter box story. At least there's a conceivable cause and effect there. I really struggle to relate to people who think motivations aren't key to behavior. Sure if there was something to gain from putting litter boxes in bathrooms, I could see some people believing it. But there's literally no explanation for it. It's just a vague "they're crazy" handwave happening there.

MAGA worldview is a exploit of multiple side-effects of some evolutionary-useful features, but it behaves more like a virus. Or basically, it's a sect.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 16 hours ago

It really is like a mind virus

They aren't entirely wrong. Liberal schools are enoursging trans kids to come out by teaching them about gender identity and tolerance at a young age, and that's a good thing.

What maga perceives is that cis kids are being turned into trans kids because they cannot wrap their head around how trans people are born trans, not 'pushed' into it. Trans people have been forced to mask as cis passing for so long, that maga will point to the past and talk about how trans people don't exist, they're an unnatural product of liberal propaganda.

The other perspective is that kids are kids, and gender identity is spectrum. Not every kid's gender identity is set in stone, and liberal policies that accept this fluidity is perceived as an agenda that deliberately turns cis kids into trans kids.

Yes, mags are stupid. But not necessarily because they are unintelligent, but because they fundamentally do not understand what being trans is, and are also likely bitter about their own heteronormative expectations that they have to live up to.

It's a similar phenomenon to how women coming out as autistic face backlash even among liberals, because it does not conform to people's idea of what an autistic person is like, because decades of research on autism have only focused on boys and men. The same way that a lot of people fundamentally don't understand autism is an internal experience, maga doesnt understand that being trans is an internal experience too, especially when they've been masking their whole lives.

Hello fellow progressive Texan… THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!

Texas can actually become a blue state, if it wasn't for all the gerrymandering.
