Absolutely spot on. I live outside of Houston. Texas is exactly as you describe it. It is a hell hole. And btw.... those that espouse the violence and misogyny here call themselves “true Texans”.
On top of it all, they’ve done away with school libraries here. They putting in clergy as counselors in schools. Many of the programs for “underprivileged “ kids have been scrapped. FORGET anything LGBTQ!
Frank, I admire your forthrightness. Those involved in vigilante “justice” should be subject to criminal investigation and prosecution. And yes, this all smacks of fascism. I’m a follower of Christ but not GOP Jesus. There’s no place for theocracy in democratic American society. The church isn’t supposed to control the state nor the state the church. This fanatic, politicized behavior has no place in our society, and among true followers of Christ it would be considered a dangerous heresy, just like white Christian nationalism. This stuff is not of God. It’s evil.
Hi, AJack. Yes, I do see what’s happening in places like Texas and Florida as fascist. I’m just careful to use that term appropriately. As upset as I am with such egregious behavior, I don’t want to go into “enemy mode” on a regular basis. But, yes, this is dangerous behavior and we need to speak and act against it. I’ve been sharing truth and warnings for several years with many people.
Hi, AJack. Thanks for your response. I don’t think Trump can be controlled or appeased. He needs to be defeated, and beyond that, Trumpism/the GOP/their propaganda rightwing media like Fox/those people and groups supporting this (MAGA, the pro-Trump Christian Right, the oligarchs like Musk and the Murdochs) must be defeated. I believe in prayer. And I know that all those who seek multiracial democracy, the rule of law, integrity, and the common good need to band together (even if we have different perspectives on different issues). We each need to act in ways we can to get the truth out and promote what’s good and oppose this evil of Trump and Trumpism. We need to oppose the anti-democratic, racist/white supremacist, theocratic, nationalist, and/or fascist people and groups with all the lawful means we can. Yes, this is a critical time. Trump and the Trumpist people/groups will bring down this country if they aren’t stopped. It’s a time for every American to fight for democracy.
Frank, you, and a whole lot of people, need to stop using “anti-abortion activist” and start calling them “anti-choice radicals” or “anti-women fascists.”

I’m looking to leave.
Thank you, Frank.

I appreciate you, Frank. You get it. Thank you for being an advocate for women.
