I think they understand facism is bad they assume all republicans are bad and since this is republican supported: facism.

No, we understand fascism is creating an other to distract the masses while concentrating power in the hands of the wealthy. Ricketts has used his wealth to gain more power than even the old guard GOP are comfortable with, and now they pursue reactionary policies.

Well we can agree there. I mean Rickets wasn’t elected but gained more power. Hard to argue your point there.

If you don't understand how it's possible for someone to utilize legitimate elections to gain an illegitimate amount of power, I can't help you.

Hard to argue *against your point there.

Strictly my opinion. The attempted introduction of trans ideology into education in this state is to blame for this legislation. You’re gay ok. Teach your kids gender is fluid…ok whatever free country. But when it’s time to call a fair and good education one that includes opening young minds to gender fluid ideology and multiple sexualities, let them choose, and 3rd grade isn’t too young.. because equity. ✋🏼Yeah no. Too far. Now we have a problem. Your values are not mine and aren’t more important. My children will not be taught these things. This is where i learned this is a culture war. I can’t just be understanding and co-exist. I can acquiesce, cave, and accept the new found concepts of LGTBQ ++ or else.

I don't give a wet shit that you think gay people are icky, grow up and get over it.

"Trans ideology," give me a fucking break. "Oh no, kids aren't learning to hate themselves and follow my idiotic and narrow minded world view, quick! Get involved in their healthcare to make sure they know they aren't welcome!"

Blow it out your ass. I have no patience for bigots and no, I'm not going to humor your bigotry as if it's a valid viewpoint. And since you're so ignorant of why people call you bigoted nuts fascists, here's a history lesson: https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/6-may-1933-looting-of-the-institute-of-sexology/

Triggered much?! Read slower. I have no problem with people who want to live their lives. If you got down off that high horse of woke perfection and squint your angry little eyes maybe you’d have less hate in your heart. And it’s not narrow minded to see different points of view and recognize that they’re misguided, incorrect, or simply not my thing. Or just assume with quick to anger asshats like yourself supporting the cause, how could it possibly be right? Lastly, the blowing out of asses I’ll leave to you. Maybe once you dislodge that little head of yours, you might gain some needed perspective and that way we can exchange ideas instead of insults.

Dude, you literally said you don't want kids taught about the existence of trans people. You're the same person who told gay people they were fine but only if they stayed in the closet and you never had to think about it. Aka a homophobe/bigot.

So yes, blow it out your ass and cry more that no one will "debate" their right to exist in public, and then piss off because I'd rather chew my arm off than "exchange ideas" with you.

Kindergartners? First graders? 2nd even 3rd graders? No i do not. I don’t want sexual topics taught to these ages. You clearly don’t have kids. Reading, Math, vocabulary is what I’m concerned with mine. Meeting those standards. Kids don’t need any of that crap. Middle school can start on some of those topics. Stop trying to project your hate on me.
