Texas GOP going all in cuckoo

I don't think so this is the problem I have with a weak Democratic party. It gives license to the Republican party to be terrible because they don't have to fight to stay in favor of the public.

The alternative is just so stupid and terrible that they aren't challenged.

And either party this week it's not good they're only at their best and they have to fight against legitimate opponents

Bravo!

You just blamed the Democrats for the GOP being terrible.

I'm impressed, sir.

Those are trivial to me.

They wish they could get rid of the 2nd amendment.

They want to teach material in our schools that is both against many parents wishes, and not age appropriate.

They pander to people who need subsidies, and are more than glad to have more, as they becomes slaves to the democrats to continue to give them other people's money. We have run out of other people's money long ago, but they want to expand social programs, rather than forcing people to be productive again.

The pretend racism exists in places it doesn't, and are constantly using it at the expense of black people.

I can go on and on, but the bottom line is, they have already ruined this great nbation, and we might not ever recover.

That's the stuff the GOP uses to scare people about the Democrats, by presenting it in a way that reflects most badly in the light of the perspectives their audience has.

First, I know no one who wishes to get rid of the 2nd Amendment, that is a Fox News lie. They do wish to make our country safer from these mass shootings, but the GOP, who are controlled by the NRA and the gun manufacturers will not even let us have universal back checks which over 85% of the country want. And should a few or even a majority of parents make our children uneducated because of their religious or white supremacy beliefs. And maybe many people would not need subsidies of their companies paid reasonable wages. Look at Walmart, a company that has made that family all billionaires and yet we have to subsidize their workers with food stamps and health insurance. And our work productivity is one of highest in the world. And what has ruined the nation is the greed of the wealthiest of citizens, where the top 10% have increased their percentage of our country's total wealth from 80% in the 1990's to almost 90% today. And racism in this country persists almost everywhere. Just look at the white supremacy group that was arrested in Oregon. The 31 came from 11 states, not just from one. You have to come up with better than that.

Make a fool of yourself with stupid comments. Then run away when you can't back them up. Typical.

They do that a lot, don't they?

They act like fascist, try to overturn an election, and it's the Democrat's fault.

But you can't articulate what makes it ignorant, or even false.

Just your typical trolling post with no substance whatsoever.
 
"Business community" is increasingly corporatist because major stockholders skew towards RWE.
Texas G.O.P. controlled government abandons even the slightest pretense of support for openness, ethics, democracy.
Texas attacks majority rights (women are the majority) minority rights, scape goats all but the most powerful,
white christian males, and another corp. with a market cap over $100 billion, moves to Texas.

Abbott, Uvalde officials and the press representing the public interest, but they're all convinced they are unaccountable.

I noticed Marjorie Taylor Green has upped her game. Her slogan used to be “Save America, Stop Socialism.” This election cycle its “Save America, Stop Communism.” Even in Crazydistrict, USA, the word “socialism” must be losing its edge. Socialists are middle management, mention communism and it provokes the desired fear response, I guess.

The ****ed up part is that the coup attempt on Jan 6th 2021 would likely have resulted in a government closer to USSR style "communism" than anything the Democrats have done in the last century.

Yes they are anti-gay. Yes they are and have been scientifically stupid when it comes to zygotes, fetus' and babies but now we know how important it is to them to put in their platform that Biden didn't win the election.

Declaring Biden was not legally elected is very troubling. It undermines the pillars of democracy.
This is some serious shit that will end our country. Do you red hats not realize you are playing with fire?
Or do you just not care about democracy as long as the dictator says what you want to hear?

What happens when he stops saying what you want to hear and you can't vote him out. You folks need to put democracy first.

Theh want to burn it all down and replace it with a white supremacist past.
 
I'm fine with getting rid of the second amendment, but I'm not sure how this compares to basically delegating gays to second class cithzenship or nullifying an election. Both of those thingscare attacks on freedom.while guns better serve the oppressor.
 
The Texas GQP also wants to secede 🤣🤣

See ya bunch of anti-American haters.

I hear "Age Appropriate" as an argument against materials children are presented by people who have no background in developmental phases. Here are some facts (taboo word) to dismiss and reject, when it's the parents and legislators who are misinformed:

Mayo Clinic LINK - A person's sex assigned at birth, gender identity — the internal sense of being male, female, neither or both — gender expression and sexual orientation are separate things. They can happen in many combinations. Having a particular sex assigned at birth or gender expression doesn't mean a person has any specific gender identity or sexual orientation.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-...pth/children-and-gender-identity/art-20266811
In many cases children will say how they feel, strongly identifying as a boy or girl — and sometimes — neither or both. While children might go through periods of insisting that they are the opposite gender of their birth sex, if they continue to do so it was likely never a phase.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-...pth/children-and-gender-identity/art-20266811
Most children typically develop the ability to recognize and label stereotypical gender groups, such as girl, woman and feminine, and boy, man and masculine, between ages 18 and 24 months. Most also categorize their own gender by age 3 years. However, because gender stereotypes are reinforced, some children learn to behave in ways that bring them the most reward, despite their authentic gender identity. At ages 5 to 6 years, most children are rigid about gender stereotypes and preferences. These feelings typically become more flexible with age.

Waiting to address and present gender identification after the age of 7 is detrimental to proper gender expression, and past the prime time to teach children about the full spectrum of gender and roles, and how they fit in this world. How can a child become more flexible in their feelings when they have been denied a basic gender education to begin with?
