Apparently, the conservative group that fights for folks’ white fragility—sorry, dad and mom’ rights—gathered for its annual convention in Philadelphia over the weekend. Some 700 members of the group affectionately referred to on social media as “Klanned Karenhood” have been pandered to by Republican presidential candidates like Florida governor and crazed woke regulator Ron DeSantis, former president and federal defendant-in-chief Donald Trump, and racism-denying-but-also-Confederacy-loving former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley.
However since no person is de facto shocked that a number of the GOP’s most distinguished white nationalist cult leaders have been singing the praises of a MAGA mommy group that was named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Legislation Middle final month, it was the pandering by ABC Information that seemingly caught essentially the most condemnation by the effective of us on Twitter for referring to the QKaron tribe as “joyful warriors” who’re “preventing again” as if the group’s members have been oppressed by something in addition to their very own absurd concern that studying about systemic racism and completely different gender identities will trigger their youngsters’s minds to implode.
Now, to be honest, ABC solely talked about that Mothers of Liberty members confer with themselves as “joyful warriors,” however the writer of the article did seem to exit of her option to make the group sound like a residing Braveheart sequel preventing in opposition to the tyranny of—*checks notes*—”gender ideology.”
From ABC:
They’re mad at their lecturers, their principals, their president. And now they’re preventing again by faculty boards, native elections and — in the event that they get their manner — their subsequent president.
This weekend’s Mothers for Liberty convention showcases how native points like schooling can have super, galvanizing nationwide affect, as Gov. Ron DeSantis, former President Donald Trump, and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley tried to woo practically 700 attendees of the over 150,000-member group Friday.
A number of key breakout classes on the heart of the group’s mission, similar to “Defending Children from Gender Ideology” and “Getting Flipped Faculty Boards To Take Motion” have been stored behind closed doorways, with media entry barred. However nonetheless, the keenness at open occasions was palpable, practically bouncing off the ballroom partitions.
Look, no person is anticipating ABC to name Mothers of Liberty the white, fragile and queerphobic group of Kackling Karen Kadets that they’re, however to validate them as heroic revolutionaries is fairly shameful, particularly since there was no point out of the group’s historical past of making an attempt to ban something into oblivion if it irritates the fragile sensibilities of straight, cisgender white individuals who love America however hate its authorities, no less than half its residents and positively its cultural melting pot.
It was a so-called liberty-loving mother who obtained Amanda Gorman’s inauguration poem banned from a Florida faculty district as a result of Gorman talked about racial equality and gender id affirmation. It was members of the group in Tennessee who launched anti-critical race idea complaints in opposition to Black historical past books that taught the civil rights motion period tales of Martin Luther King Jr. and Ruby Bridges, proving, as soon as once more, that anti-CRT advocates largely don’t know what CRT is and are simply making use of it to actually something involving race that makes white conservatives wag their white supremacist fingers.
Anyway, of us on Twitter didn’t pull any punches whereas stepping into on ABC Information and different media retailers for normalizing the mothers who actually solely need to liberate themselves from non-whitewashed actuality.
Pay attention, if ABC and different media retailers need to get on their Fox Information steez and begin overlaying MAGA World cultists like they’re precise freedom fighters, that’s their enterprise. However they need to be ready for folks to pull them for it, as a result of the one individuals who like white nationalist cheerleaders are, properly, white nationalists.
