The GOP Platform

GOP candidate promises to burn books, and exhorts Americans not to be gay.

Stir in some anti-abortion and anti-trans rhetoric, and you've got the GOP platform.

Like many other short videos Gomez has made, the ad featuring her running included an image of her holding a large gun. Others show her firing guns, including at an inflatable Star Wars stormtrooper.

In February, Gomez posted a video in which she used a flamethrower to burn books with LGBTQ+ themes.

“This is what I will do to the grooming books when I become secretary of state,” she said. “These books come from a Missouri public library. When I’m in office, they will burn.”

Who is her opponent? Do you have a link to donate?

I guess it's another $25 to donors choose... I already gave once today. ($25/pop every time I see/hear something anti-trans.)

Strong energy here both from Fahrenheit 451 and "some people you don't have to satirize, you just quote 'em."

Jenny: True!

N&M: The ballot only has Republicans running. The lone Democrat dropped out.

Missouri is a fucked up state, frankly.
