They want non straight (and non white) people dead. Thats it.
Obviously, but they usually try to obfuscate that with an excuse for why they're trying to portray this as a good thing without being too overtly bigoted. I'm wondering what possible excuse they could have for this.
It's got to be something to do with "political" slogans in retail spaces. But how that doesn't straight up violate the first amendment I don't know..
The lawmakers that wrote the businesses a letter are essentially extorting them. “We’ll fuck you with you like we did Disney but you’re too small to fight back so your town will die under the punitive regulatory smack down we will rain down on you”
It's almost certainly some nonsense about harbouring paedophiles... Because exercising your freedom to wear what you want means you diddle kids... Because reasons, you see.
As much as I hate that they'd want to do this, I'm kinda glad they are - the voter base wants more than just trans panic from their leaders - people have real problems they want solved, and this nonsense negatively affects both their electability and ability to deliver on this hateful, but very silly bullshit.
Something something "won't someone think of the children?" Same excuse as always.
And non conservative
Don't forget subjugating those filthy poors into slavery.
