“The road forward will be paved with sociopaths and sociopathy. It could be decades before this cancer is removed from the body politic. In the now, we will face more death, destruction and terrorism because of this shameless servitude to [getting and] keeping power, democracy be dammed.” https://america.substack.com/p/the-sociopathy-of-greg-abbott-redux
The Sociopathy of Greg Abbott (redux)

I thought it important to pause from my holiday break to share with you this post, originally published on March 5, 2021, after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott bused asylum seekers on Christmas Eve in sub-freezing temperatures to Washington, DC. His political stunt, which included children and many who were not properly dressed for the conditions, was not a surprise, but it was particularly vile for a man who portrays himself as a Christian.

America, America
@StevenBeschloss people say British and American politics are different but not really. Our right wing media spits vitriol, we have a "choice" between Conservative or Conservative light and while some politicians become increasingly and openly corrupt, the other side only talk or working with them to moderate their damage as opposed to reversing it (a la brexit).
I used to have a lot of pride in my system, but it is a bloody dumpster fire 🔥
