I have an idea and want help with the writing
I ahve wanted to do this for awhile.

An agit prop conservative group that disseminates progressive information by pretending to be conservative. Im not talking about satire like Betty Bowers or fraud like Pat Robertson. Im talking about lod fashioned guerilla theater only on the internet.

The idea occurred to me when I was working on an abortion rights campaign. The more I learned about abortion the more I moved from be grudgingly for choicec to rampantly for choice and I had a brainstorm, to wit.

"Abortion is evil, blah, blah blah, murder, yada yada BUT when laws are made outlawing abortion then abortions actually increase (a true fact) so our only recourse is to outlaw adultery and sex outside of marriage." then some history of sex laws in the United States and what the world was like then (like what other nations have adultery laws, laws against homosexuality, and eugenics).

Another example, I grew up in the Midwest in a very Red State and so I had to hear a lot of "testimonies". People who had been saved by god from some addiction or vice or depression or whatever. What struck me was that I never heard anyone say "I was a bigot and then I was saved and Jesus showed me that I should love all men and now I give money to the National Urban League". So some testimonies like that would be cool.

The idea is to take conservatism and right wing fundamentalism to its logical conclusions, like privatization of everything, laws making us follow the Ten Commandments (the first three of which are unconstitutional) discussion of which Founding Fathers to eliminate from history classes because they were publicly not Christians (Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, et. al)

Im typing out loud but anyahoo, what do you think? Anybody want to ahve some fun?
