Oh wait, that's Moms for Liberty.

No, no, that's Moms for Hitler.

Well, lessee...

Negative reaction to a local Indiana chapter of Moms for Liberty's uncritical use of an Adolf Hitler quote printed on the front of their newsletter prompted one speaker at a breakout session to tell attendees to 'never apologize.'

At the Moms for Liberty summit's general session, co-founder Tiffany Justice said, 'One of our moms in a newsletter quotes Hitler" and someone in the audience whooped in delight and others started murmuring their consent at the mention of the Hitler quote.

"I stand with that mom,' Justice then declared.

The crowd cheered.

Moms for Liberty cheered Hitler.

Big name speakers -- Trump, DeSantis, Nikki Hale -- shared the same stage as other presenters who declared that those running schools ('teacher unions, those that are indoctrinating our kids') want to 'undermine our republic and our way of government' and claimed that schools are intentionally withholding information from kids about their constitutional rights. And that 'Marxists or globalists' who run our public schools are out to 'replace parents,' groom children by creating an inappropriate 'trust bond,' gather every child's data to manipulate them, and ultimately pursue 'world domination.'

Oh, and Bill Gates is intent on microchipping students -- already underway in experiments in China -- to provide the government with complete information about children in America.

There were buckets full of crazy being wheeled out onto the stages but I have to admit, I never thought I'd hear conservative republican women cheering Hitler but here we are.

Tribalization and decayed culture - has its perks. As does tech run amok and huge swaths with lack of basic critical thinking skills or knowledge of civics.

Doesn't it.

2020's - soon to be known as "the good ol' days"

"'Matthew Sheffield
Matthew Sheffield .... comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media'"

So you call him "left wing." But that simply indicates his political values and policy preferences. Left-leaning does NOT mean presenting lies as facts, as you regularly assert. It is sad that you don't believe the evidence in front of your eyes of those Nazi-supporting moms, and support your claims by the fact that they were reported in left-leaning media. These moms supporting the Nazi ethos, and your refusal to acknowledge the truth, speak very very poorly of the right-wing's respect for democracy, equality, and truth.
