“We are a Republican state — supermajority — in the House and Senate. I represent a constituency that doesn’t want that filth in Oklahoma. You know we are a religious state. We are going to fight and keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we’re a Christian state."
This is what Oklahoma state Sen. Tom Woods said out loud, in a public forum, as a response to question about the state government's obsession with ending LGBTQ rights, specifically in the wake of the murder of a 16-year-old non-binary kid, Nex Benedict, after three bullies smashed that kid's heat against the floor of a high school bathroom, and also, not at all curiously, in the wake of revelations that state policy was being shaped with the counsel of hate-evangelizing online fascist Chaya Raichik.
Yeah, it gets fucking exhausting. But it needs to be said, especially when miserable loathsome fucks like Woods and Raichik show their asses for all to see, that the entirety of the Republican Party is a 100% malice-driven death cult, that THAT is their actual policy, and every Republican you know who might CLAIM to not agree with this venomous violent bile is full-throatedly allied with people who do and who are working diligently to encode this bigotry as law in every state they control. So, please remember, if you have any quibble with rational people calling these people fascists simply because they loudly bleat and work furiously to enact the tenets of fascism on the United States of America in the year 2024 CE, write it down on a post-it and shove it squarely up your ass.
There's no such thing as a "good person" who votes for murderous bullying garbage and blanket dehumanization of people for how they were born, and the notion that Americans have to fight Klan-esque chuds for basic civil rights all over again is exactly the price you pay for giving dogshit-stupid theocratic conservative fucking Brownshirts like Tom Woods power.
