Pretty apt description of Abbott and his past 4 years.  

Overriding local authorities on homeless and covid matters

Abortion bounties

Trans bounties

Voter suppression cloaked as vote integrity protection

Operation Lonestar

Redistricting

Panel to determine how to get all teachers into private/charter schools

He's def been on a roll.

Totalitarianism is when someone gases his constituents so he can take a photo op in front of a church. When one tries to stay in power after losing a legitimate election by falsely alleging, ad nauseum, that said election was rigged, and then tries to exert political pressure on officials to give him the election, and when that doesn’t work, foments actual violence against those officials. 
 

Who has done that recently? Why is that not disturbing to you?

Yes, they report the findings given to them by Interior Department Inspector General Mark Greenblatt, nominated by Trump. Surely even you would agree that Trump was not known for nominating strong, ethically-sound and independent thinkers.

It could be true, I don't know, but I sure as hell am not going to take anything said by anyone appointed by Trump at face value.

Of course you're at work. We all are. You think most of us would be posting on Surly if we had anything more enjoyable to be doing at the moment? The thing to do if something comes up at work that you actually gotta get done this minute is to just not post until you've got time to actually engage. Unless you're actually just interested in whining or trolling.

This shit always cracks me up. When dipshits like this throw around words like totalitarianism and censorship to describe the left. The two words that immediately come to my mind when I think about the Democratic party are feckless and weak. They don't even have the power to keep a blatant white supremacist and someone who, on camera, had accosted school shooting survivors from being a fucking United States Congresswoman. But, yeah, they're figuring out ways to silence Longhornlove from being an idiot on the internet.

Meanwhile in reality Dems can't bother to even push back when multiple GOP senators spend multiple days basically calling Ketanji Brown Jackson a pedophile, and Durbin in fact let them go over their allotted time to do it!

Look man, don't run away. When you've got some free time (not tonight, because Arizona/UH means I'm going to be getting extraordinarily drunk) I'll be happy to engage with you about totalitarianism in modern America. I'll gladly lay out the multiple definitions of fascism and explain, with supporting evidence, how they all fit the modern Republican party. Then I'll gladly explain why judgment from your former friends who don't want to hang out with you any more because you keep bitching about trans shit isn't actually totalitarianism at all, it's just peer pressure. You know, that thing we've all dealt with every day of our lives since beginning kindergarten.

i don't neg rep, seriously not sure if i ever have.  i made an exception in this case. 

really sucks that the fox news and limbaugh's of the world have done this to people (msm and democrat party lolol). 

trump openly spoke about his many political enemies, about those on witch hunts, those out to get him, those who were "never-trumpers" and who could not be trusted.  the last person to speak this way was nixon.  they both made covert and wide-fucking-out-in-the-open moves against those they perceived as enemies, and they were all political.

not sure nixon would've come out publicly and praised putin, but i assume no, he wouldn't have.  but sure, tell me again how dems only have political enemies.

[henrygandorf 29179]

and in case you're keeping score at home, consider who started the whole "red state" and "blue state" nonsense.  consider who made a point of calling out and going after liberal areas and conservative areas, geographically.  tell me which presidents went into press conferences and talked about the political affiliation of local officials, mayors and the like.  who talked about sending aid to certain states over other states and the reason for doing so.  who wanted a transactional relationship with certain states and their governors.

think about when this all really became a "team sport".  i'll wait here.  probably for a long time.

OG troll shibboleths. That rant was more of a troll culture madlib than anything resembling coherent or thoughtful.

Come on conservatives, I so desperately want to be a stodgy conservative pushing back against some of the troubling progressive trends, but the current conservative ethos is so unserious, incoherent, and dishonest, even when you’re right, you only make things worse.

Stop with the dramatic emoting and be the rational, thoughtful people you like to pretend to be. Be the rugged man’s men you fantasize about. You’re not a victim, you’re not being canceled, and your news source is also mainstream media, even if it’s not really news.

Stop selling yourself short. You’re the party of Lincoln, so stop acting like a bunch of fools. Stop debasing yourselves, stop breaking everything, and have some dignity.
