Dame Edna, I've Never Heard Of
The contemporary far-right is genuinely jealous of the left's protesting power. This was something admitted by Christopher Cantwell, more commonly known as the Crying Nazi. A bit like when QAnon rebranded as Save the Children, the far-right have canily deduced that most people care about children's protection. And so hope to gain support by picking events that they can falsely claim are grooming children. They play on long-standing latent homophobic tropes about gay and trans people represented here through drag queens. But for far-right groups like Patriotic Alternative, the difference is clear. One is LGBT culture and thus dangerous to young minds, and the other is not.
