Boebert: The 'One Thing' Feminists, LGBTQ People Have in Common Is Communism

In what can only be understood as conservative outrage word salad, Colorado Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said during an interview last week that feminists, LGBTQ people, and transgender people share a single common goal of advancing communism, which she argued undermines Second Amendment rights.

“If you look at, for instance, the feminists and then the LGBTQ, well, feminists don’t really want transgender, you know, coming in and messing with women’s rights, but yet they’ll band together in unity and tout this message together. The one thing that they have in common is communism, and that is where we are heading,” Boebert told KHOW radio host Ross Kaminsky.


The question?

“Why are gun rights and the Second Amendment so important to you?” Kaminsky had asked Boebert, an incredibly straightforward question for a congresswoman who bases her entire identity on guns and has an oft-repeated backstory for why she cares so much about them. (The fact that her origin story appears to have been fabricated is beside the point.)

You may be wondering how that question led Boebert to assert that feminists and LGBTQ people are united only in their objective to bring communism to the United States. Here is Boebert’s full answer, which will still not clear things up:

“It’s basically so important because we look back on history and we see any government who has disarmed its people has done very bad things to their people, that’s where we have mass genocides and that’s where we have communist dictators and totalitarian control. And unfortunately, that is where we are headed here in America. If you look at all of these extreme groups, most of them have nothing in common. The only thing that they have in common is, I mean, if you look at, for instance, the feminists and then the LGBTQ, well, feminists don’t really want transgender, you know, coming in and messing with women’s rights, but yet they’ll band together in unity and tout this message together. The one thing that they have in common is communism, and that is where we are heading. And the Second Amendment, I’m sorry to disappoint them, but it has nothing to do with hunting, has nothing to do with hunting. This is our check on government.”

Even my gun nut friends understand this. The government has tanks and helicopters. Armed as well.
Do they really think a bunch of tiny dick incels playing army man in the woods would defeat the US military in a coup???
Boebert: an idiotic delutional asshole. Like most high school drop outs, she has zero understanding of history or of the constitution.

to help those poor souls who put her in to get her out. We will once again be the best state in the nation if we can just get her out of Congress.
