Can someone please get Lauren Boebert a Xanax?
This week, the high school dropout had a complete meltdown on Twitter when, out of nowhere, she accused “radical liberals” of trying to “get rid of parents all together.”
“Radical liberals want to get rid of the word ‘mother’ and ‘father’ because they want to get rid of parents all together,” Boebert tweeted. “To them, the state is supposed to raise children. NEVER surrender your children.”
Surrendering children? Um… What?
How about we take this to the next level?

Radical liberals want to get rid of the word “mother” and “father” because they want to get rid of parents all together.
To them, the state is supposed to raise children.
NEVER surrender your children.

It’s unclear what inspired Boebert’s tweet–or what she’s even talking about, frankly–but this line of attack is nothing new for the QAnon congresswoman.
When she’s rage tweeting about gender inclusive language, she’s making fun of pronouns, mocking trans and non-binary people, spreading HIV/AIDS misinformation, or bitching about “gay supremacy.”

Boebert’s tweet came shortly after ex-LGBTQ ally/failed presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard made similar remarks on Twitter, sharing an article about how pregnant individuals infected with the delta variant of the coronavirus are more likely to have severe cases of COVID-19.
“Pregnant PEOPLE?” Gabbard wrote. “Read that headline again. Some hate women so much that they literally want to erase even the word ‘woman’ from our vocabulary.”

The fact that people take you seriously is beyond me.

I’ve never heard that before! Liberals want to take our children away from us, and don’t want us to use those words? This is terrible. If I send you some money, will you help me keep my children?

I thought they were after guns? Now it’s kids? What’s next?

I don’t know where you get the idea that Liberals want to get rid of the words mother&father. No one wants to get rid of your precious view of what constitutes a family, maybe expand on the idea of what a family is. Are you against having two moms raising a family? Two dads?

We don’t want to do that. You’re a person of bad faith.

*She* should definitely surrender her children to the state with her as their mother and a father who exposes himself in public.
Mister P
We’re going to need a bigger warehouse to store all the guns, bibles and children we are going to take.
jcool
can’t we just keep the kids in cages? oh, wait……..
GayEGO
Maybe Lauren Boebert leaves her kids in hot cars, she doesn’t want to be caught abusing her kids……that is how she thinks…….not!
Mr. Stadnick
She is the embodiment of the why needing an education is important. She has no real grasp of problems and has no apparent ability to think things out. She obviously has zero understanding of civics.

She’s also a great example of why sex education should be taught in schools. If she had known how to properly use contraceptives she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant and dropped out of HS. Probably.

Sadly, knowing how many times it took her to pass her GED exam, she easily would lack the judgement to care either about finishing high school or using contraception. This is not a woman with anywhere near the intelligence one hopes for in elected officials. She joins Ms. Taylor Greene in that regard. By contrast her compatriots like M. Gaetz just play at being stupid in their cynical (but thankfully rather transparent to many) bid for political power.

It was recently noted in a Colorado paper that she allows her 8 year old to play unsupervised in rooms where loaded firearms are not stored in accordance with Colorado law. Taken in tandem with her husbands record of exposing his genitals to under age girls in public it is clear that sometimes the state has very compelling reasons for regulating the upbringing of children.
Just as some are unfit for public office, some are also unfit to raise their own children.

I really don’t expect much from this GED starlet.
A dim bulb radiates more wattage than what she can produce.

Boebert is the uneducated listener of wacko right wing political AM radio who becomes completely overwhelmed and indoctrinated in time. Like someone hypnotized, she is controlled by prejudice and unfounded fears.
I hope political science scholars are studying how it is she was able to get herself elected to the U.S. Congress from the state of Colorado. It’s like a disease or accident we need to better understand.
Good luck, America!
trojanboy
She is a disease.

It’s pretty simple what she is doing. I like to call it the spaghetti test, it’s where a politician who is trying to maintain relevance will throw all kinds of crazy shit at the wall and see what sticks and gains traction with their followers. Since a good portion of her followers and constituents are in deep with QAnon, it makes sense for her to try and start some conspiracies.
