re: #385 Lidane

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?

Look, I understand your frustration, We live in the Peoples Republic of Travis County, a little blue pimple surrounded by a sea of red. If my wife and I, along with you and your sig other, got together on SoCo next week to see a kick-ass Finnish band during SXSoCo, We would probably agree on 90% of our beliefs. It would be fun! But this is a nation-wide board, and we shouldn’t broad-brush *all* conservatives as southern/TP whackos.

Cut some slack for the other. Just sayin’. Turning this board into a liberal echo chamber is just as stupid as Fox.
