Nonsense, they were uncaring, evil people back then. Especially when 15 years ago there was no one worse than those who wanted to send men and boys to die for oil (this would have included people like Crenshaw had he been around). So you guys can say whatever you want, but you are all underselling it. I can't wait for "DeSantis is worse than Trump." It will be remarkable.

Yes. They were uncaring and evil back then.

But in comparison to a Trump or DeSantis, normal uncaring and evil conservative sounds really good.

And i absolutely believe that you will manage to find someone more abhorrent than Trump. That is not a victory for you.

Do you hear yourself? Republicans are more violent and fanatical than they've ever been. Your Supreme Court is poised to dismantle critical rights for people all across the country, and your leaders are dictating how people can educate our youth. They're positioning themselves so they can rewrite the rules of our democracy, so that once they retake power they never have to worry about losing it again, regardless of their abysmal levels of popular support.

But your problem is that people are talking about it? Calling it out for what it is? Man, that really sucks for you. I'm sure we're all just overreacting though.

Well this is dark. Expect other state GOP organizations to adopt similar or even more extreme platforms going forward.

The new platform would call for:

Requiring Texas students “to learn about the humanity of the preborn child,” including teaching that life begins at fertilization and requiring students to listen to live ultrasounds of gestating fetuses.
Amending the Texas Constitution to remove the Legislature’s power “to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.”
Treating homosexuality as “an abnormal lifestyle choice,” language that was not included in the 2018 or 2020 party platforms.
Deeming gender identity disorder “a genuine and extremely rare mental health condition,” requiring official documents to adhere to “biological gender,” and allowing civil penalties and monetary compensation to “de-transitioners” who have received gender-affirming surgery, which the platform calls a form of medical malpractice.
Changing the U.S. Constitution to cement the number of Supreme Court justices at nine and repeal the 16th Amendment of 1913, which created the federal income tax.
Ensuring “freedom to travel” by opposing Biden’s Clean Energy Plan and “California-style, anti-driver policies,” including efforts to turn traffic lanes over for use by pedestrians, cyclists and mass transit.
Declaring “all businesses and jobs as essential and a fundamental right,” a response to COVID-19 mandates by Texas cities that required customers to wear masks and limited business hours.
Abolishing the Federal Reserve, the nation’s central bank, and guaranteeing the right to use alternatives to cash, including cryptocurrencies.

Texas is the test bed for their upcoming brand of authoritarian, single-party rule. They're undoing rights and ignoring elections for as long as nobody stops them.

How representative is this on the whole? I mean if that’s the general direction the Texas GOP wants to go my lord…

How do we stop them? When their constituents are conspiracy theorists who refuse to be educated and accept reality, I feel like whatever move we make (ignoring the leaders of this bullshit, calling them out on this bullshit, trying to get people to vote against them, trying to forcibly remove them, etc.) feeds into their conspiracy.

They rarely have political stances that one could even attempt to agree/disagree with, in good faith, since they're all about just rejecting Democratic ideas and simply promoting conspiracy theories. They don't have any actual substantive positions of their own to evaluate, which is disappointing.

I genuinely don't know. The federal government isn't going to step in to override some of the awful shit happening here, and the government's successfully suppressed voting to one of the worst in the nation, so I'm lost. I don't see the GOP voters changing currently and the Dems aren't doing anything to convince people to not vote GOP

Did someone say Mohdoo IslandTM?

I took a look at his post history and he’s serious. Also he dropped out of high school to play Starcraft so they’re really not sending the best people.
