I don't want to see drag queens everywhere just as much as everybody else whose aesthetic isn't "explosion at a sex shop at the end of the rainbow".
What's always important to remember though is the pushing of this as some kind of cultural zeitgeist has come from a relatively small amount of radical queer activists and then coopted by liberals who are looking to use it as a political wedge issue.
And the political reaction against it by the other side's cultural warriors and the ultimate policy upshot of vague "return to traditional values" stories tends to delve into things that have actual impacts on real people who have very little to do with all of this, such as attacking rights for ordinary homosexualists and trans people and creating panic narratives around them. These people generally don't own big media channels, don't really appreciate the woke liberal appropriation of their identity and just want to be left alone.
So yes, the constant "drag everywhere" bullshit is annoying but responding by supporting the platforms of these opportunist politicians who always go after the wrong targets is like responding to getting punched by driving a car through an entire crowd of people in the hopes of hitting the person who punched you.
Don't get me wrong, I dont want to shove people back in the closet. Some people are just naturally attracted to the same sex, and I wouldn't want them to be unjustly ostracized from society just for that reason. They're deserving equal civility as anyone else.
But like damn, a lot of this shit is just so forced
This is why late-form democratic politics are so utterly retarded. They center around two sets of opportunists who are constrained by economic stagnation and their own lack of vision into offering no real social improvement for anyone, instead getting out the vote and maintaining their bases by caricaturing each other into an emergency-level threat.
Making each base hate each is going to provoke political violence at some point. And while political violence has its place, having it happen in service of these useless showers of shit is going to accomplish nothing.
