What happens when you combine gamergate and yelling at local elected officials? You get something akin to Moms For Liberty. The nonprofit bills itself as a parental rights organization and grew to hundreds of chapters over the past three years. Though many victims have claimed that the group pushes its agenda through harassment and intimidation, they say they just care about ethics in school curriculums. To help get a better sense of what Moms For Liberty is really about, we spoke to Vice News reporter David Gilbert. He spoke to people targeted by Moms For Liberty for his report "A Far-Right Moms Group Is Terrorizing Schools in the Name of Protecting Kids.”

Hold the phone... As a foster kid who grew up in Florida, I know for a fact that DCF has to call or otherwise notify you BEFORE coming to your home. If they just "showed up" at this woman's door one day asking to, what, "examine her child's genitals"? That is incredibly alarming and I question if they were a real DCF agent.

This was a fantastic episode. Huge fan of these old school style episodes.

I just realized Jakes laugh sounds like Dr Hibbert

This may be the darkest episode I've heard yet. The ratcheting up of rhetoric into action, the cynical connection with electoral politics, and the pretense that this has anything whatsoever to do with parenting... none of it bodes well. Genuinely disturbed.

For the first time, I didn't finish listening to this episode because I found it too upsetting/depressing. Congrats?

I was pretty triggered by this episode. It is insane to me that people can harasses and terrorize people without consequence.

I’d be using stand your ground if those shitbags were harassing me in my home around my children.

C’mon

THIS (with due appreciation for the rest of the content) is why I pay for QAA. I've heard about Moms for Liberty and seen their insane commentary ....but never had the full picture. Definitely reading the article, Thanks!

Man, this really makes me wish I could go live in a cave and leave the civilized world. It's much too awful.

Transphobes: we need to protect white women by keeping trans women out of bathrooms. White women: burning the mother fu**ing houses down of everyone who upsets them.

Just played this, made me very happy I don’t live in the USA. Then I remembered that what happens in America usually gets exported to my rainy island.

Going back over old episodes after this crazy election and just realize that America is really really gone.
