Oh, Kayleigh, girl…. No.

 

Full disclaimer: until very recently, I had no idea who Chapell Roan was (that's apparently read like the building, not as in Dave Chappelle). If you are like me, and don't follow closely what the kids are doing, she's apparently a pop singer and is currently very famous. Hundreds of thousands congregated to hear her sing in Lollapalooza, according to sources. 

I have not heard much of her music (or I have not paid attention). I think YouTube -that stalky ex-boyfriend who's always there when you turn your gaze- suggested her Tiny Desk Concert and I declined. There's something forced about her performative Queerness that turns me off: apparently she was invited to the Biden White House and she didn't go -allegedly- because they were not going to let her read a poem about Palestine. By now you have an idea where this is going.

Then she bothsided Kamala, made two videos about 'why' she said both sides have been 'bad' to Trans people (??), mispronounced Kamala's name, incurred in assorted fuckery and so I lost my shit. And apparently the internet lost its shit at the same time I did:

And of course, not even her music is that 'original'.

Oh, people were reading her for FILTH. And I dragged a seat to see how everything was gonna go down. I was not disappointed.

She's from Missouri. Raised by fundies and has a whole family worth of MAGAts, FWIW. And then she discovered she was a lesbian, wears Drag Queen makeup, speaks about Trans folks and that's what makes the kids idolize her. I'm one of those people who believes that you can take the girl out of the fundie environment but you cannot take the fundie out of the girl...

I love it when the internet does not mince words when people try to use the excuse of 'mental illness' to justify assorted fuckery:

So GOOD.

I find that the level of entitlement, one-issue stubbornness and myopic handwringing going on with this last generation is alarming. This woman is not alone. There's hundreds of thousands of Gen-Z people who truly believe that what's happening in Palestine is worth fucking up the elections in the USA in November. For real.

They have the asinine shortsightedness of a newborn cow and the stubbornness of an old donkey. NOTHING gets through their skulls. And they use performative stunts to scream their immature grievances into the void. And then they complain. 

I am showing my age here: I know people who have/had AIDS. I know what DADT did to gay people, I saw Gay Marriage become a reality. Have the Dems always been super Gay friendly? Nope. But it's the Dems who have brought the progress we have in LGBTQ lives right now. Not the Repugs. Not the Green Party. Not the Libertarians. The fucking Democrats did it, Kayleigh.

And for this girl to come out and say that both parties are the fucking SAME?

Well, fuck you Chapel Wrong. Fuck you and your ilk. May that Rolling Stone cover help you get over the internet dragging your privileged lily white ass for days. And no, I'm not still listening to your music. There's truly good artists out there that deserve a listen more than you ever will and more authentic allies making great music who are not as problematic as you are. Go count your money, honey. Maybe that will help you leave your racist, bigoted, homophobic family behind. And may this serve you as a lesson to never EVER bothside DonOld and the GQP with the Dems.

XOXO
