What's wrong with this picture?

This looks like a gotcha against the LGBT community, except the former doesnt try to convert kids. This is projection right?

And here:

 

I think it's ironic, and sad, that ANY sort of religiosity, whether it be just asking a simple question or delving into theology as a subject, is often frowned upon in the public school system because stupid parents who shouldn't have kids get all "They're trying to brainwash little Timmy into a cult". Meanwhile, we have fucking Drag Queen Story Hour and PAID FUCKING FIELD TRIPS TO STRIP CLUBS so little kids can watch fags in drag gyrate on poles! And what's worse, some of the said stupid parents (who shouldn't even have fucking kids if they're doing this kind of shit and should have their kids taken from them by CPS), drag their children to said stripper bars themselves. 

 

There is so much hypocricy here: https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2022/9/21/2124193/-Sorry-chief-justice-A-Supreme-Court-that-bases-its-actions-in-lies-and-fraud-is-illegitimate

Honestly this just seems like a rant.

The 53 words of the first sentence tell us that:

  • the author thinks something is ironic and sad
    • that's an opinion, not an argument
  • the author thinks the reason religiosity is frowned upon is that some parents think schools try to indoctrinate children into cults
    • another opinion, still not an argument

Then, there are the following implied and unsupported claims that:

  • (whatever they are) "Drag Queen Story Hour" and "field trips to strip clubs" (1) exist and (2) involve "little kids", and
  • some parents take children to stripper bars.

All in all, what we have is 2 opinions and 2 unsupported claims.  Whether one uses new math or old math, it doesn't add up to an argument so the question of a fallacy doesn't relate.  

To answer the " This is projection right? " question, the only projection I see is the author using an emotion-laden rant in an attempt to project his or her opinion on others.

Master the "Rules of Reason" for Making and Evaluating Claims

Claims are constantly being made, many of which are confusing, ambiguous, too general to be of value, exaggerated, unfalsifiable, and suggest a dichotomy when no such dichotomy exists. Good critical thinking requires a thorough understanding of the claim before attempting to determine its veracity. Good communication requires the ability to make clear, precise, explicit claims, or “strong” claims. The rules of reason in this book provide the framework for obtaining this understanding and ability.

This book / online course is about the the eleven rules of reason for making and evaluating claims. Each covered in detail in the book.

A rant is a pretty good description. More precisely, it sounds like a typical pile of disinformation designed to perpetuate the war between liberals and conservatives.

I taught school for 16 years in liberal Seattle, which is one frighteningly messed up city. I have some complaints about gay issues in the political arena, too. The Seattle School District's first attorney was a gay pedophile, and we recently had a mayor who was a gay pedophile as well.

Yet, in the classroom, I never heard about any of things described in your post. I did, however, have some problems with religions parents. There are some putrid parents out there, and they probably do include a few who take their kids to questionable events. They're probably more common than the so-called "flat earthers," but I've still never met any.
