They're not inherently damaging.

It doesn't violate natural law.

Yes, it does.

There are over 1,000 species that are proven to have queer relationships.

My first claim is Donald Trump and Elon Musk are grooming more young Americans than the LGBTQ plus community.

Can we agree that grooming is bad and should be punished?

Um, yeah.

Okay, lit.

What I would say is that Donald Trump and Elon Musk use their positions of influence over young Americans to change the way hundreds of thousands of young Americans think and behave throughout elementary, middle, and high schools, which has been documented, studied, and proven to increase bullying and harm, and it infringes on parental consent.

Let's define grooming.

We should start by doing that.

I would say that grooming is someone with a position of influence over another person attempting to change their thought patterns or behavior to exploit them.

Would you agree?

What I would say is that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are proven to have been doing that with elementary, middle, and high school children by sending targeted ads to youth demographics, accessing their rhetoric on social media, and what studies have shown, studies of tens of thousands of teachers, reported incidents, school reports, hundreds of disciplinary reports,

sent to studies have proven that there's increase in bullying in places where Donald Trump... I think they have a plan.

It's important to note that there have been thousands of cases of Donald Trump's rhetoric being linked specifically to bullying incidents that have been done by elementary schoolers, middle schoolers, and high schoolers who all said that they felt vindicated in their actions because Donald Trump, the president, told them that it was okay.

And what we're also seeing is that in communities that have a 10-point increase in support for Donald Trump,

there's an 8% increase in bullying.

And the reason that this is unique is this has never happened in politics before.

It hasn't had a Republican or Democrat.
