Conservative Oklahoma special interest groups are hard at work forging a new local boogeyman for rural Derplahomans to fear!
Last week, a mysterious group that I think is associated or affiliated with the right-wing zealots at the Oklahoma Farm Bureau, Oklahoma Game Fowl Association, and/or the Oklahoma Inhumane Society for the Unethical Treatment of Animals launched an ad campaign warning local yahoos, mouth breathers, and other right-wing political partisans about a “wealthy liberal activist trying to turn Oklahoma into Wokelahoma.”
That guy’s name is Christian Keesee. He’s a philanthropist from the ancient Oklahoma oil overlord family House Kirkpatrick and leads their namesake foundation.
By all accounts, Lord Keesee – which is how most people who ask him for money address him – seems to fit all the stereotypes right-wing types look for when crafting a woke boogeyman to scare poor, white rural folks who go to a small-town Baptist church and hate everything affiliated with the government.
As his Instagram confirms, the New York City resident is very gay, very very rich, and very very very involved in supporting the arts.
But the thing that’s really unsettling to the conservative MAGA types about Christian – or, as I should probably call him, Lord Keesee – is that he really likes animals!
