The New Gomorrah is on the Right
From Dungeons & Dragons hysteria to demonic possession via Pokemon to Satanic weed to pedophile rings in pizza parlors to even Fluoridated water turning the frogs gay, conservatives rarely ever seem moderated in their views, despite protestations to the contrary, and liberals seem to be taking their place these days as the next conservatives, pro-war, pro-establishment, right-wing, “free trade” woo, apathetic towards wealth inequality, “both sides,” neo-McCarthyism, nationalism, constantly waffling on minority rights, highly authoritarian, conspiracy theories, etc. No, no! There is no need to re-litigate the 2016 election. Social media is toxic enough as it is.
Now, my friends, I want to share something with you that will show you why right-wingers are still superior when it comes to the most bat-shit insane stories you will ever hear in your life. The latest one: “bimbofication” and hypno-porn.
It should come as no surprise by now the closeted perversity of the right knows no bounds. Porn addiction, pedophilia, pederasty, and “toe tapping” are practically memes when it comes to making fun of right-wing indiscretions. After watching the episode of Chapo Trap House on Rod Dreher and his “queer” fixations, I was on the floor gasping for air, tears running down my face, and laughing harder than I could even remember.
Then I recalled something similar in Max Blumenthal’s, Republican Gomorrah. A team of religious conservatives about a decade ago wanted to discover the link between porn, addiction, and homosexuality. So they studied and viewed copious amounts of pornographic material of all kinds, including gay pornography, until they found a connection. Their findings were inconclusive, but needless to say, they all wound up becoming case subjects in their own study.
If it were not for the fact that people still listen and take fearmongers like anti-trans perverts seriously, this would all be funny as hell. We would never need another source of entertainment. Turn on the 700 Club and tune into the crazy. Watch reruns of Pat Roberston’s demented, imprecatory ramblings, but I digress.
I feel like I stumbled across the find of the century, the reason why bigots are the way they are. Their hatred is not motivated by merely ignorance. No, friends. It is shame … shame, self-loathing, and denial. After listening to that podcast, it all fell into place. It is like Brad and Janet entering Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s domain and discovering their own sexuality for the first time. They realized they were perverts deep down. They were filled with shame and awe. They could not resist Frank-N-Furter’s animal magnetism. In the end, they ran from themselves, placing all the blame and responsibility squarely on Frank-N-Furter. The process of self-loathing, repression, and guilt can turn into a potent source for depravity. So it was the same for the Larry Craigs, the Tom Delays, the Ted Haggards, the Roy Moores…. Look, the list is really quite long.
Of course, I would be remiss if I did not also invite other political figures to the party.
The point is it is queerphobia, plain and simple. Some right-winger winds up addicted to sissy and hypno porn, realizes trans people are actually sexy, fantasizes about becoming a member of the opposite sex, and it’s “trans activists use demonic possession to turn me trans through my computer,” instead of Alphabet’s, excuse me, Google’s algorithms giving them more of what they secretly desire. It is like they are Dylan Roof; except instead of being fed racist bullshit and criminal statistics via search algorithms, they are served helping after helping of salacious “bimbofication” material through the digital equivalent of the “Power Exchange.” Blessings from their god, I’m sure.
