“Sexual distortions carry strong undertones of prejudice—sexism, racism and homophobia—that rob individuals of their individuality. Common stereotypes include “men are all dogs,” “women are less interested in sex,” “gays are promiscuous,” certain races are frigid or hung, and certain sex acts are indulgent, effeminate, or immoral. Other distortions clearly function as tools of organizations or of religious or political figures to shape public opinion through dogma and to control their followers’ lives.”

Their profound depth of understanding and insight cuts through the illusions, lies, noise of everyday life

And clarity of thought and breadth of knowledge enables them to see solutions where others see none

This is what makes them formidable

Not their ability to dominate a conversation, but to transform it

To elevate the discourse to realms of thought previously esoteric, obscured or uncharted”

“The 'originalism' of which they speak
(they being the Supreme Court, the Federalist Society,
and affiliated lawyers and politicians)
treats the constitution
like Evangelists treat the bible:
they cherry-pick at whim
which tenets they will uphold
and which they will ignore,
and, also, which they will distort
so the text seems to agree with whatever it is
they're claiming.

Of course, it's as absurd to believe there is only deep truth to be found by
trying to get into the mindset of
a privileged white slave-owning land-owning cis male founder of this country
as there is by trying to get into the mindset of
whoever you believe wrote down the various pieces of the bible,
both old and new testaments.

And now they're chopping down the cherry tree
out in the open
with us all watching
(well, watching only when we're not getting felled along with the branches)
and they're speaking the truth about their intentions
in a document called Project 2025.
We all must read it carefully,
read it and weep,
weep and get angry,
get angry and build strength,
and then do all we can to stop them.

It's now, baby,
or never.”
Shellen Lubin
