How an urban myth about litter boxes in schools became a GOP talking point

Over the years I've been told that a pagan ritual made it snow indoors.  I wasn't there, I can't say it didn't happen.

20 or so years ago in college a guy told me he had photographic evidence a ghost came out of his TV (this was even before the RING) and when I asked if I could see it he said it was in his parent's attic and he'd try to find it the next time he was home.  He never showed it to me, so the jury will be out on that one forever, I guess.

This isn't me asking for Jesus to come down and turn my water into wine or to turn me into Hugh Jackman for my wife (with my luck he'd probably turn me into Hue Jackson).  This isn't me asking for someone to make it snow indoors, or to walk on water, or to teach me how to play sweet hot lead guitar licks instantly.  I'm asking for some info on a very mundane thing that I find pretty damn interesting.  What's so nuts about that?

We have cats.  There are litterboxes here.  If you ask for a picture of me with a litterbox I can send it to you in 2 minutes (you weirdo).  I'm intrigued by this, it's so insane yet so mundane at the same time.  Keep in mind the oddest thing to me is that I went to a school in PA where wearing anything but Steelers stuff would get you bullied mercilessly, yet there are kids licking themselves and meowing and shitting in boxes openly in high schools these days?  That's the closest thing to a bridge too far for me.  High school kids accepting of kids crapping in boxes and acting like cats?  It's possible.

I do know a woman who works at a public school and believes all this stuff.  I could ask her about it, but I assume she would say that she's there making sure no litterboxes or cat acceptance happens?  Hell if I know.  I just want some answers, damn it.


Also, do the kids at the schools who identify as dogs chase the kids who identify as cats?  And do the kids who identify as horses crap while they walk?  I wish I went to school these days, it sounds absolutely insane.  Why would anyone who identifies as an animal be in a school anyways?  Shouldn't they be on farms upstate when they're sent there by their humiliated parents?

The simplicity is the brilliance of it...if you are already predisposed to believe it.

Let's use another example:  Trump is a brilliant, rich businessman.  

I mean you've seen the photos, heard him talk about all his successes and money.

But there is a ton of proof that he's failed miserably over and over at businesses, filed for bankruptcy multiple times, been sued for lack of payment by contractors AND he BEGS for money from his cult like followers every...single...day to help pay for his "legal defense".  And there is no proof of his alleged wealth.  He "owns" some buildings and golf courses.  But he's inflated and deflated the values so much no one know the truth.

His true believers only need to hear the story that he's rich and nothing else is needed.
