This is terrifying. That material doesn't even pretend to be sincerely educational. It's overt propaganda for an extreme right-wing Christian position.
There isn't even anything like it I can think of on the other end of the political spectrum.
Look at that dickbroom of his. That thing dusted off one or the other shaft before.. it's always these guys that get busted someday while getting doublefisted by some Puerto Rican stud in a leather harness.
It's worth noting that he did this in response to a tweet by, of all people, Ted Cruz, condemning that same law. So we're once again in "Making Ted Cruz Look Reasonable" territory, never somewhere you want the GOP to be.
I think you're giving him far too much credit, and I don't doubt that he would sooner kick his queer child out than support her, but has probably been advised not to right now, because it might impact his career, and that is the personal affect people like him are concerned about, not their kids.
Yes, good. Keep banging that drum. Surely, this hasn't been proven over and over again to be a loser issue at the polls...
But seriously, this is how they intend to solidify their hold: run off the good teachers (including the allies) to reduce the quality of education, so the voting base that's left is uneducated, feed them propaganda they no longer have the intellectual tools to question, profit.
Don't check out in November. There's a lot of seats up for grabs, and we can't let these people have a majority. Fuck theocrats.
It's a good way to get liberals to leave the state. One thing the right does 10x better than the left is long-term strategy. Liberal states may legalize marijuana or add sex education as required teaching but most are one loss away from rolling back everything. Reform of government is usually bottom of their list.
I think that's because the "left" states are really just politically center. There's some that are doing more progressive things like Michigan, but since the GOP is now infected with extreme right goobers, the policies they push are also extreme right, which in turn pushes out anyone center or left of center.
The left analog would be progressive policies that push out the bigots (like Civil Rights and desegregation for trans people), but we don't have any examples of that these days, since that's not where any of the democratic state governments are.
If Trump wins then that's it, for the world, really. The US will convert to a theocratic dictatorship, ruled by religious doomsday nuts with nukes. Trump is, as usual, the puppet of Putin, so do expect the US not only to withdraw from Europe, I fully expect him to actively help Russia to conquer more parts of Europe than the USSR ever had.
Am I overthinking and overstating things? Most of it is based off Trump's words and actions, the Republican 2025 documents, and well... Maybe a lot of pure cynicism as well, as I've seen humanities behaviorfall of a cliff
Which is exactly why it's so important that we ensure Democrats win a majority in both chambers of Congress (if we presume Trump will win, which I don't). It won't stop Trump from doing damage, but it will slow him down and prevent at least some of it.
There's lots at stake, and lots of downballot races deserve our attention.
I’m glad. This article doesn’t really get into the details of how and why it’s taken this long to do anything substantial with the site but I’ll just say it’s complicated, and it’s good that all the parties involved seem to have negotiated something that pays respect to the lives lost that night.
How else can you grow up to be a tyrant if you weren’t subjected to a lifetime of soul-crushing physical and psychological abuse?
These people have to perpetuate the cycle of abuse by normalizing it. Otherwise they might have to - gasp! - admit everything they know is a ghastly lie!
