Confession: you did come across a *little" over the top, but I understood your meaning. Mocking Republican excesses is a popular activity into around here, and I consider it to be needed stress relief for the most part, so I get where you're coming from.

I had a different kind of reaction to this because I happened to have seen some videos about Mormon purity culture recently that made me aware of how extreme it is. (I also have some definite ideas about how that all relates to how a Mormon boy in a relationship with a trans person could have felt driven to kill someone like Charlie Kirk, but I won't get into that right now!)

Glad we are on the same wavelength about this!
