Maybe an intrepid reporter will ask a stupid question to President Trump about the situation in Bryan, Texas.
OK to pull civil rights out but not jesus
nor gun rights
but yes to no civil rights
This administration is just despicable.
Unfortunately, I doubt any of them knows about it; many thanks to Josh for carrying this and other important ProPublica pieces so more people see them.
This one’s sickening on so many levels: the brute, dumb, obvious racism in Bryan (as in many other places, but so thoroughly detailed here), and the cartoon-evil malevolence of this administration in its deliberate prohibition against even looking at these horrors in anything like a systemic way. There’s a stupid five-year-old child in me that literally can’t understand how these people live with themselves.
And it must be said that while DeVos and the other Trumpites approach caricature in the transparency of their ugliness and corruption, they’re hardly unique in the annals of recent Republican governance. Remember, eg, the Bush DoJ, which saw a mass exodus of career attorneys from the civil-rights division in reaction to directives that were completely at odds with the division’s intended purpose. (Imagine having devoted your professional life to civil-rights law only to be told your new priority will be cases of “reverse racism”…) And of course the race-based “voter fraud” fraud at the core of the Bush DoJ’s US Attorneys scandal. Ad nauseum,
The modern Republican party must, finally, be destroyed; and voters must remember, forever, that presidential elections are actually elections for an entire administration, and the thousands of people who will actually control our government, and our lives.
This is just sickening. Tyler is Louie Gohmert country if you need a reference point. But the same phenomenon is present to one degree or another all over the state.
