My local Target apparently used to have Pride items in June, but lately all I've seen is a banner saying "Pride Month." I understand my community let Target know they don't want Pride stuff in the stores. Good for them! They also used to have BLM materials, but the last I saw was a single copy of "Anti-Racist Baby" in Spanish.
As for the Satanic stuff in schools, I'm beginning to believe more states need to approve homeschooling and make it an option for parents.
Unfortunately, I was in the midst of preparing dinner and didn't catch everything, but did I hear the Rainbow Coalition trapped people in a museum shouting their stuff, and assaulting elderly women? Why have they not been designated a terrorist group?
When I was a kid, comic books had advertising for all kinds of stuff. I sent off and got some things, like a ceramic poodle that changed colors with the weather. There were other items I had no interest in, like the Italian Fanny Pincher. If someone had used that on me, they would've gotten a black eye. Reader's Digest once had an article titled, "Beware the Alligator Purse." It told how women in Italy know that sooner or later they're going to get their behinds pinched by a man. One woman, however, apparently an American tourist, was walking down the street in Rome, carrying a large alligator purse. A man reached out and pinched her bottom, and she responded by hitting him on the head, hard, with her purse, while blistering him for pinching her. The man had fallen to the ground, while others gathered around him, having never seen such a thing happen before. The man dazedly remarked, "I only pinched her...."
Apparently, what's happening in Italy has gotten completely worse. Anytime you let a large number of men from other countries, especially those that see women as objects, you are going to get an upswing in sexual assaults. I remember back in the early 70s, Mexican men who had been in the bracero program, which dated back to WWII, were assaulting women everywhere. They haven't stopped.
Of course, there's a contingent of Latinos who are trying to conquer America. While it's true that Mexicans have been here in California for centuries, lately there has been a subtle takeover. You can't find anything in stores that doesn't have Spanish language print on the label. There are Spanish-language commercials on TV, even on English language channels. I see this on The Weather Channel. They have a Spanish language version, why can't they keep the Spanish commercials on the Spanish version of TWC? You can't go anywhere without running into a Mexican or other Spanish heritage restaurant or business. Used to be you could go to a German restaurant (Wienerschitzel doesn't count), or a French one, an Italian one, etc.. Those have gotten hard to find and are usually three or more dollar signs in price. Look, I agree America was built by immigrants. Only pure blooded Native Americans have no European or other ancestry in their lineage.
But it's going too far when Spanish proficiency is required to get a job, or whenever a non-Latino works with lots of Latinos, the non-Latinos get pushed out. I had an uncle who worked as a truck driver, and the company he worked for had a group of Latinos who were like a gang. They harassed and threatened him, and he was forced to quit. I was doing temp work, and I got sent to a place that was 99.99% Latino workers. I got harassed and lied about by a bunch of old Mexican women, and one day I came in to work I had to hand in my temp badge. I called my agency, and they lied to me too. Another time, I walked into a temp agency, and the woman who was doing intakes took one look at me and her expression changed, like she was thinking, "Oh, no, another gringo trying to take jobs away from Latinos." While I was filling out the paperwork, a Latino guy came in, inappropriately dressed, while I was appropriate. She acted like he was a rock star and she was his biggest fan! I never heard from them, except for a job of a few hours length, far from my home, that paid diddly-squat. I didn't take it. Took them a year to get back to me, too.

Sorry for the long post.
Great essay. Everyone should take time to read. Thanks for sharing.
Is this Rick Scotts narrative? SURE RESEMBLES IT.
I'm sorry, Chief, but I'm a little confused about what you mean by "Is this Rick Scott's narrative?"
