Conservatives are getting more and more insane.

It seems to me there's a word for that.
Ah, right.

Well the book Gender Queer is mentioned as one of the banned books in her classroom. And of course we have people trying to claim it violates obscenity laws:
I do wonder if this is what passes for the Oklahoma Secretary of Education to accuse someone of displaying pornography to children. Because that's appalling if it's the case.

Here's another one that provides insight into the engagement by far-right ****wits:
Of course, being Chris Rufo, the "story" (a fitting description) is full of outlandish claims and lacks sound evidence to back them up, but these worthless sacks of ****--just the absolute stupidest mother****ers--hang onto every word.
Modern American conservatism is mental illness.

You know, I'd be ok with my kid's school telling him about all that stuff, but I draw the line at packers. No kid of mine is going to be subjected to learning about the Green Bay Packers, and if any school tries to teach him that I will cause a scene at the school board meeting.

This is really is the culmination of years of "culture wars". Trump's unlikely win in 2016 opened a Pandora's box of conservative bile. My long-time business colleague and friend (who once ran for Congress as a Democrat in Iowa) said after the election: "it's who we are."
The mid-terms will demonstrate just how far down that road the majority of (voting) Americans want to go.

Nope, he is worthless, like so many of our officials. It is going to be another wonderful series of lawsuits wasting taxpayer money on stupid pandering stuff.
Some Ryan Walters background
The link above has some information on Walters. Unfortunately, that link is only good for the next day because of a paywall. It is also somewhat sensationalized because that is part of the website's schtick. However, it generally does a pretty good job of summarizing what is going on and is significantly less biased than most anything else that is going to come out of the state.

Anything can be about anything if you squeeze your head hard enough and crap comes flowing out.

The Mississippi with the Republican governor? With nearly three Republicans to each Democrat in the state Senate? With something like a 70% majority in the state House of Representatives? That Mississippi?
I like the part where the aforementioned Republican governor was involved in the firing of an individual looking into the matter.

What's with Green Bay Packers quarterbacks being absolute garbage human beings?

This is the legacy of Trump though, right? You can lie or just spout gibberish in the general direction of your target, and people who want an excuse to behave in a certain way will be like "yeah, sure, don't think too hard about it".Anything can be about anything if you squeeze your head hard enough and crap comes flowing out.
Trump wasn't the first to do this, but he sure showed how far you can take it. There have been some famous books about when propaganda becomes more of a factor in determining people's behaviour than reality, and that's kind of where we are. At the risk of going full Dotini, it seems like truth and logic is pretty irrelevant to a lot of people.

Breitbart News’s low-budget satire focusing on Hunter Biden and his father, the US president, has united two actors who both have experience of high-profile controversy. Maybe those crying ‘cancel culture’ have a point, writes Louis Chilton – ‘My Son Hunter’ surely constitutes cruel and unusual...
