Project 2025's gay adult film scandal

It's always a puzzle which scandal will or won't derail the career of the latest loose cannons who have taken up a career in the depressingly lucrative world of MAGA politics. North Carolina's Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson kept full GOP support for his gubernatorial campaign even as he raved against women's suffrage and declared "some folks need killing." But when he was outed for calling himself a "black NAZI" on an adult internet forum, that was, for some reason, when the party started to pull support away and his staff began to quit. As the GOP rallies behind Donald Trump for president, despite his 34 felony convictions, there appears to be no rhyme or reason to what Republicans consider a bridge too far. 

As of now, it's unclear what the future holds for Corey DeAngelis, a far-right activist who focuses on undermining public education. Working with right-wing organizations like Moms for Liberty and Hillsdale College, DeAngelis pumped out a steady stream of disinformation to paint public schools as a "woke mind virus" set out to destroy children. He especially tried to scare parents into thinking public schools are deliberately turning kids gay or trans, to convince parents to pull their kids from school entirely.
