This type of rhetoric around all things pertaining to sexuality and identity have been part of the Fascist playbook for a very long time. When you identify certain behaviors with certain people it is easy to turn those people into scum and flies to spit out (Putin). If you read any of Putin's speech's you hear it. You hear it in Le Pen, DeSantis and others who keep looking for THE scapegoat that will distract a large enough group of voters that they'll mindlessly put their mark next to the very candidate whose intention is to smash democracy by making use of democratic practices. This kind of rhetoric is meant to prove there is moral rot in one political party (i.e. democrats or as in Russia any party that has ideas that don't match up with Putin, or in regard to Putin, the West as the bastion of depravity from which not only Ukrainians must be liberated but, the rest of the Russian speaking world) and that therefore to vote for any of that party's candidates is to vote for moral rot. The so-called Evangelical Christian movement has made these matters foundational for years. Orwellian language is being spoken in the land and too few people recognize it for what it is and what it means. The gop is broadcasting exactly what they intend. People need to wake up before their plans can come to fruition.
