re: #368 austin_blue

To be fair, DF is up in Illinois, not down here in Texas. I understand your rage, and agree with what is going on here. No way that Perry and the R’s can’t be blamed since they have run things since ‘94. But Illinois is different and DF should be cut some slack. Different political environment up there. We do (both sides) tend to broad-brush here.

But it’s not just about Texas. It’s the asshole in Georgia who wants to criminalize miscarriage. The other asshole who wants the death penalty for women who miscarry. The fanatics calling fetuses as “witnesses”. The congressional defunding of Planned Parenthood. The systematic hatred the national party has shown towards women unless they fit the Fox News fembot mode. The contempt by the GOP for public workers and their rights. The national party bending over and grabbing their ankles for the Koch brothers. I could go on and on.

This is about far more than just Texas. Yeah, I’m pissed at the GOP here but since I’m not a Republican, my voice doesn’t matter in this state anyway. It’s more a general sense of anger and frustration with these people. When did it become a crime to be a woman?
