If we're looking at Texas, look at the fact that they passed required bible reading in the schools. (!) So that means, you read the bible, and get tested on it, and your grades depend on it? I'd tell my kids, no, don't do those assignments... then their grades would suffer? What the actual fuck? Fairy tales and Easter Bunny level religious canards taking the place of education?
I was listening to a podcast with Tom Hartmen yesterday in which he was talking about the unlimited power of the government to do what it wanted, including to the power to kill anyone. Thus, he or who ever he was quoting about that point and power, it was important that whomever they chose to lead be those who take that power seriously and are less likely to do it, kill less. This might seem like a very low and desperate bar for voting and choosing. But this is where we are in the US and always have been. About "Ralph's# comment previously, be clear we are a one-party state with two wings. Republican or Democrat in the White House, Congress, or Supreme Court have carried out the essentially same policies and actions!
Sadly, TH has smeared and demeaned Refuse Fascism. I reject the capitalist-imperialist Dems but I think the other ruling class party has made a qualitative leap from borgeois democracy to fascism.
Burn it all down. Nothing will change until we get rid of both parties.
