    These people cannot fix any issues that plague their communities, so instead they want to control and micromanage a bunch of teens.

    Classic shitty adult.

        Yep!

        They have to have some Satan figure, a bunch of people who they can blame societal woes on. Even better if they are a minority so they have little power to resist as they deny them healthcare, councling, or emergency housing. Instead, they want these kids tamed and “forced straight”, shifting freedom away from these kids to empower traditional family values of control.

        On top of that, winning the culture wars sounds cringe but is integral to maintaining their system.

      It’s all about fear and control. Americans have proven to be sheep and the wolves have moved in.
