Received a press release early this AM (which I’ll share shortly) on the effort to expand term limits, and further preclude competent people from running for the State Legislature. It noted in part:
…Brad Lindwurm of Sioux Falls is a member of that team, and he added, “Term limits encourage new ideas and accountability while discouraging elitism and politics as usual. It’s also consistent with our state motto and the constitution, and I’m proud to support this effort.”
Hadn’t heard much activity from Lindwurm, a former candidate for office, so sent a couple of notes out, did a quick Google search. And came up with something a little more interesting:
Now here’s something in this announcement you won’t catch right away. He’s running for State House.. but in what district?
When he originally ran in the primary in 2020, Lindwurm was in District 14. But since re-districting, he’s been registered to vote in District 10. With the D10 House seats currently held by Democrats Erin Healy and Kameron Nelson, it might make sense for the hard-right Lindwurm to challenge in that District. Focused as he is on the culture wars, there’s a well defined difference between his opinions and those of the present House members, as evidenced by Lindwurm’s declarations on his campaign page:
BUT.. despite his ideological differences with his current representatives, I’m hearing he may not try to establish his beach head in D10, and may be looking to pull a “Cole Heisey” and move elsewhere, referring to the District shopping that the former Minnehaha County candidate was doing after re-districting in 2021 to find his best opportunity to run in 2022.
Seriously, I didn’t come up with that myself, but that was the slang term used by a Minnehaha County politico. But it is funny and it fits.
Lindwurm is going to have all sorts of other challenges in running wherever he lands (I’ll save that post for another day), but potentially not knowing who your neighbors are going to be for purposes of representing them in Pierre might be problematic if you haven’t figured that out by the time you launch your campaign.
Are these guys going to ban parents from showing those things of which they disapprove… in the parents’ own home? (Drag shows. Books. Movies. TV shows. ) There are a million times more of those occurring than some drag story time.
No. They won’t. Because this isn’t about protecting children. And attacking millions of parents makes for too big a target. Drag queens are few in number.
These guys are religious zealots pretending to protect your children. They want control… over you. It’s a con, and as with everything they do… it’s always, always, always… “for the children”.
There are many things that can damage, injure or kill kids. I’d bet that drag queens aren’t in the top 1,000.
Children have been exposed to drag performances on TV since the sixties. All of you have seen them. Were you triggered? Groomed?
Did you boys suddenly feel compelled to raid your mom’s closet?
Here he goes again…
Here THEY go again. I just respond.
Responded as the idiot you are.
Two posts that don’t contribute a thing except expose your lack of intelligence. Are you still in high school?
But yet YOU responded…HHMMM
I’m not elk. Hmmm. Must only be grade school. My bad.
And you completely missed the point. HHHMMM. You must be preschool. It’s naptime for you.
I grew up in the sixties and have no idea what you are talking about. Other than the movie “Some Like it Hot,” starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon & Tony Curtis, I don’t remember any other drag shows. And that movie, as I recall, did not ridicule women. (The men in it were quite ridiculous enough)
I do remember minstrel shows, which ridiculed blacks, however. It is fortunate that is no longer a socially acceptable form of entertainment.
Drag is the new blackface. The queens take the most annoying characteristics of high maintenance women and exaggerate them, and/or hypersexualize them. Drag is degrading to women, and someday it will not be considered entertaining.
Child pageants and parents who use their kids on social media is far more harmful and prevelant, but it doesn’t score the political points they are doing this for. Gotta own the libs.
