Beware of Republican trolling by legislation

Many Republican controlled state legislators are unfortunately in session currently which is why we're getting a barrage of insane bills being proposed filed by right wing extremists. Any lawmaker can introduce any crazy, "own the libs" legislation they can think up right now.

The majority of these bills won't even get a vote but they're designed to trigger all sane Americans into anger and troll the media.

It's all a way for Republicans to distract from what they're not doing... passing legislation to help Americans deal with inflation, healthcare costs, gun violence, etc. Actual problems that impact their everyday lives.

Republican lawmakers know exactly what they're doing by proposing these culture war bills. Keep reporters chasing their own tails and cause regular Americans to tune out because they can't handle the nuttiness.

They are probably coming off the shelf from some loathsome RW think tank.

ALEC, and that ilk.

Creating a data base, a list of GOP wishes for governance, to be used against all republicans.
Dear America, this is what they want. Do you?

And it's true, they're distracting us with the culture war nonsense. But rethug voters here seem to like it.
