“I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month.”
Imagine hating the idea of diversity so much that any kind of rainbow offends you.
These people won’t stop until the entire world is gray.
Man, these people are gonna be unhinged once they find out a rainbow is our visible light spectrum and that we technically see it everywhere. The kicker is that “God” put it there.
The likely conclusion is that God is perfectly fine with how it is but they aren’t ready to admit that the plan of the eldritch entity they believe in may go beyond their idiocy
You should see the comments on instagram reels whenever a teacher posts something and there’s a rainbow in the background, like just a rainbow on the wall in a kindergarten class or something, so many people absolutely fucking lose their minds and spew the most vile shit at these teachers, it’s bizarre.
Cool, so why is it exclusively that the right are able to dominate these posts instead of having a more nuanced or mixed discussions. Are they just more commonly held opinions or is it something else.
Because when normal people with critical thinking skills see a rainbow in the back of a classroom, we don’t even register it. It’s not political to us at all. It’s just a wall decoration. So why would we hone in on it? Most of us probably don’t even “see” it.
Any sign of a rainbow at all is triggering to those who lack critical thinking skills. They latch onto it and start screaming about the LGBTQ+ agenda. And they spread it to their base to fill the hate tank and get them all riled up.
Meanwhile the rest of us are like “There was a rainbow on the wall…?”
Usually when I see a rainbow it’s just “oh cool! A rainbow! :D” and then I go on with my day, if it’s a lgbtqia+ flag or something I may say that I like their (item the flag is on) but that’s it. It boggles my mind to think someone sees something as innocent as a rainbow and thinks that it’s something malicious and not just the person who put it up thinking it’s cool
It’s not because the commenters are politically conservative or have commonly held views; it’s because they’re part of organized hate groups.
What sort of a nuanced discussion are you envisioning here, and are you envisioning that in response to bigoted comments or in an attempt to drown those comments out?
Because it is the right that’s conditioned to see things as black and white, and that values members falling in line with what they do or do not support.
Combine that with the dunning-kruger effect, and they are extremely confident that their very simplified view of the world is right, and they shout it from the rooftops.

Oh boy are they unhinged.
“Give it back”. Apparently god isn’t powerful enough to take it back himself. Weirdest game of keep away ever.

When your political project is ‘make everyone as miserable as I am’, whining about every goddamn thing is actually a kind of praxis.

Why are they able to so quickly swarm and find these posts?
That’s how social media works. All it takes is one person to find it and post it to their network.

It’s because outrage is a strong motivator. That’s why posts that stoke outrage are so popular on social media.

💀
Hate is a powerful motivator 
They don’t have a life + they are on instagram
They won’t stop until all the LGBTQ people (and Jews, people of color, etc) are dead.
FTFY.
