I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the conservative ideology is now actively messing up US society.
All the anti-CRT, replacement theory and banning of books are all coming from the same place of racism. And racism and discrimination, open or not ALWAYS has consequences (see Buffalo, New York). It’s so bad now that some right-wing hacks (including Paul Gosar) were sharing the picture of a trans-woman and claiming that she was the one behind the Ulvade shooting. A total fabrication generated from 4chan, I guess this is what they want free speech for, to spread irresponsible, bigoted and deadly misinformation without consequence.
The outsized influence of lobbyists on American politics has led to people throwing away common sense. It’s so bad now that as mass shootings become more common literally nothing can be done because the GOP has been bought and paid for. Ironically, these are the same people fighting against abortion rights claiming they are the “party of family values”. They claim that guns aren’t the problem it’s mental health, Texas cut funding to mental health programs massively! All the while making it easier for folks to buy guns.
I don’t say this to insult anyone but I really don’t understand how anyone at this pint can even support the GOP considering how low they have fallen. The only reason I can think of is people agree with their recklessness and bigotry.
