Ron DeSantis is fighting back against the radical Left.
And he’s meeting resistance from an infuriating group.
Weak-kneed Republicans are furious at DeSantis for one ridiculous reason.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis recently signed the Parental Rights in Education bill into law, much to the exasperation of the Left who smeared it as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
But more obnoxious than the predictable slander from the Left was the hand-wringing from the RINOs.
“Conservative” writer David French, whose brain has been broken by Trump Derangement Syndrome, was one of a handful of writers who dogpiled on the Right’s use of the term “groomer” to describe the teachers who are distraught over the fact they cannot talk to their young students about sex, sexuality, and gender identity.
French wrote a piece called “Against the ‘Groomer’ Smear.”
French wasn’t alone in his Republican hall-monitoring.
Nate Hochman of National Review wrote, “Broadly speaking, left-wing teachers aren’t ‘grooming’ kids. Gender ideology in schools isn’t the same thing as ‘pedophilia.’ The mainstreaming of these ideas on the Right is a great way to lose an otherwise very winnable culture war issue. It makes us sound like the crazy ones. The vast majority of the inappropriate sexual/gender identity instruction in schools is driven by ideology – a harmful, destructive ideology, to be sure, but an ideology that many people sincerely believe. Those people are wrong, but that doesn’t mean they want to diddle kids.”
French and Hochman’s tut-tutting of the Right sums up the conservative movement for the last several decades.
Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan, a novelist and screenwriter who was blacklisted in Hollywood for coming out as a conservative, demolished the thinking of French, Hochman, and other docile conservatives.
During a screed on his show, Klavan said, “Why are you teaching a kid in kindergarten—why are you showing him gay pornography? Why are you teaching them watching pornography is a way to learn about sex? Why are you teaching them anything about sex? Of course they’re preparing children for a world in which children are sexualized…and if calling them groomers and calling them out even just underlines the creepy wickedness of what they’re doing, of course we should do it. Who cares if they think we’re the crazy ones? Is that what I’m supposed to care about? I’m supposed to care about whether these sick bums think I’m crazy?”
French, Hochman, and other RINOs are deathly afraid of being attacked by The New York Times for saying anything conservative.
Klavan added, “[W]e have spent so long worried about whether we’re going to look dishonorable or we’re gonna look mean…or we’re not boxing by the Marquess of Queensberry rules while these guys are in a knife fight…I don’t believe that because they do horrible things, we should do horrible things. But they fight tough and smart, and we should fight tough and smart…And this idea that their sexual abnormality and their sexual deviance, which is what it is, is sincere—that they’re normalizing this is sincere, all evil people are sincere.”
Hochman said this is an easily winnable culture war issue, but Klavan called out National Review and Never-Trumpers like French who have never won any culture wars against the Left.
Klavan explained, “It is just appalling that they don’t want to let people who understand the culture better than they ever have fight the culture wars in a cultural way, because this is how culture wars are won. They’re won with language.”
DeSantis is showing what it takes to fight the culture.
Conservatives need to get on board if they want to stop the country from descending into unthinkable mayhem.
