It is only fair to discuss the Republican Party in this thread.
How stupid can Republicans be? Pretty stupid, especially the ones in Texas, but the Republican Party as a whole is responsible.
As can be seen from this thread, Republicans are so inept they are totally incapable of defending their party. Faced with criticism on the issues, they are completely silent.
Republicans in Texas passed a new abortion law in which every private citizen can become a vigilante where abortion is concerned. In the case of incest, the new law says it is okay for a young woman to be forced to carry her sibling to birth.
Then we have the new gun law in Texas, one of the most dangerous laws in the country
... in the world, actually.
ABC News explains. "Texas' new law allowing most people to carry handguns in public without a permit or training came in part from
the belief by many Texans that the best way to prevent crime and stop an armed bad guy is to make sure an armed good guy is nearby.
"Gov. Greg Abbott and his Republican allies in the Legislature who this summer made Texas the largest state with a so-called permit-less carry law pitched it as a way to let people more easily defend themselves without government interference."
“Best case scenario, the police are minutes away. But you need protection right then and there if you’re in danger. So, it’s going to make us safe,” said Bethany Young, the legislative director for Texas Gun Rights.
That sounds great --- if one is into fantasy.
What is the reality? How often do we hear about a gun toting civilian saving the day by shooting the bad guy? Almost never? Never?
How often do we hear of shootings, of mass murder in a school, mall, or work place?
Every freaking day!
Indeed, on the same day ABC News carried the story mentioned above, their website carried these two headlines.
That explains the stupidity of the Republican Party. Worse, grassroots Republicans who voted for these idiots actually believe what GOP leaders say.
One-third of all Republicans still believe the election was stolen from Trump. 66% of all Republicans want Donald Trump, the worst President in modern American history and a prestigious liar, to run for President in 2024.
