Boomer is an established existing generational group.

Groomer is an extremely inappropriate insult meant being used to stereotype LGBTQ+ people.

That's...not a saying and this is possibly the worst take I've seen on here in a while, which is saying something. Stop pretending you're clever or care about anyone else, I'm sure you'll impress all your elementary school friends with your wit. Real justice would be boomers paying for fucking the environment, society and entire world with their ineptitude, bigotry and greed.

That's the meaning of the word. But conservatives have taken it and are using it to describe LGBTQ+ people and allies, as well as teachers.

And people that the right want to make out to look like child predators/pedophiles, AKA the LGBTQ+ community and people who support them. They called Disney groomers when they spoke out against one of the bigoted bills that DeSantis was trying to pass earlier this year.

Bingo. They're sad only because they have to find new ways to dehumanize LGBTQ+ people.

Basically they're looking to rile up the most deplorable of redhats to cause violence against "groomers". I'm sure they would happily bring back the gay panic defense style arguments. I'd rather not post an example of what I'm thinking of as it is so vile it would probably get me modded.

Do you think there is a sudden surge in pedophiles openly participating in society that is prompting the constant use of "groomer" by mainstream conservative media and politics? Or do you think maybe they're using the term to target a group they openly hate: LGBTQ+ people?

No, it's authoritarianism. The right is, quite literally, defined by being authoritarian but their official stance is very much that they wish to fight against it and that whatever they are fighting against is the real authoritarian one.

It is pretty weird how all of a sudden every teacher, politician, and group of people Republicans don't like are all groomers, to a man.

It is a common tactic used to attack opposition by fascists. Take something that is personally hated and then say that they do something universally hated, and then demand for their expulsion on those grounds. The exact dynamic can be random sounding, but the idea is similar to how books work in that the imagination is supposed to fill in the blanks.

Simple. You dehumanize the out group so that the in group has something to fear and hate.

The more vile and despicable you make the out group appear, the more aggressively the in group will fight against it.

It's really that easy. It allows Republicans to go, "Oh, LGBT rights? You mean pedophiles? So you support pedophilia!!!!", and then they all nod along in agreement that the evil gay people are grooming kids and this is why it's so important we stop them.

It's very effective with the highly uneducated as they will not question it and after hearing it enough will start to agree with it and repeat it, perpetuating it until it is a common or semi common held belief.

It's the same way that socialism was demonized. Most people who hate it don't know what it is or why they don't like it but enjoy the socialist parts of our society.

I think it comes from the belief that people who are LGBT must have been molested as kids or something like that

I think it started with the "we can't let trans people into bathrooms, because children! REEEEE!" bullshit, and has basically escalated to its natural evolution of, "well, really, it's not just a problem with bathrooms, it's all trans people! And gays too! And anybody that even remotely suggests gay or trans are real people. REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!".
