      Cheney’s younger daughter Mary was bi, and both he and Liz were happy enough to throw her under the bus in order to advance their political careers.

      If you take away all the hatred and reactionary thinking, and you insist on the actual points of progress or improvement or policy they wish to make, you’ll find there there’s nothing left.

      Cruelty and extremism is all they have.

    Conservatism is a vile plague of deception, oppression and death. It always has been.

    Teach your children why it is inappropriate to do business with or keep relationships with conservatives. Speak openly about the deadly nature of conservatism. It is a hate-based lifestyle and should be openly treated as such.

        Oh yes. Let’s instead try and change their hearts and minds.

        Do you happen to know how to change the mind of someone driven by fear and disgust? I unfortunately don’t.

        They won’t be educated. They encourage violence against them, so they can claim persecution and victimhood, they actively harm women and minority communities. The only thing left is ostracizing and exclusion.

        That being said. If you have conservatives around you that are open to constructive discussions, by all means try to change minds. Just be aware that you can only plant seeds that might grow into into knowledge. They have to come to awareness on their own.

        When you’re one of the people conservative politicians are attacking, maintaining contact with any conservatives is dangerous because you never know when they’ll rat you out.

        It solves everything. Teaching children to think critically solves everything. Critical thinking is at odds with a conservative mindset.

        The natural evolution of an educated child engaging in critical thinking is away from selfishness, again: wholly at odds with conservatism, a deeply selfish movement.

        Not teaching your kids that conservatives are lying about wanting to keep them safe, when they actually want to control many aspects of their lives is tantamount to knowing the forest next to your home you play in is filled with rabid animals and not telling them about it. It’s bad parenting at best.

        My kids gonna make her own choices. She might choose something I disagree with but it won’t be because I didn’t teach her about right and wrong, and what goes in to determining that.

      They seem to be making a lot of “states rights” arguments. At this point we should just let the several States just be nations unto themselves. It’s clearly what the Federalist Society wants. But then each State will have to provide for its own defense, have to print its own currency, and there won’t be any organization to regulate commerce between these new separate nations.

      Idk the story but assuming it was actually a guy crossdressing and not Abbott misgendering a trans woman, then these same people will laugh at drag and tell you how Some Like it Hot is one of the greatest comedies of all time.

    The entire rest of the country should sue the Biden administration for the right to discriminate against Texas.

      Notice how Texas is kind of the only state where people move to it and can’t stop boasting about how great everything is? Like I think you’re trying to convince yourself not me, buddy.

        It’s only the Conservatives doing that, anymore. I don’t think most folks from Austin, Houston, and Dallas are really under any illusions, anymore.

        And to be fair, Texas has a lot going for it, if only you could excise the cancer that is the Republican party. They ratfuck the state and still somehow manage to scare their followers into believing it would be worse without them.

          As a drunk Houstonian, I agree. Good money, beautiful scenery, loads to do, pretty good booze, lots of tech, and a billion types of cuisine.

          If we could start turning bluer we could fix education and start giving everyone a chance instead of just the rich or lucky.

          I actually like it here but I know how lucky I’ve been after I got so little help when I needed it most.

      exactly. stop pointing out their hypocrisy. they don’t care. just fight fire with fire, and don’t stop until there’s nothing left of them but ashes. it’s the only way we ever fix any of this.

    Alright, I’m gonna need the state to secede so the US military comes in and rolls the fuck over our stupid-ass state government so we might actually see some relative sanity restored to office in my lifetime.
