We should start calling republicans American Taliban. [View all]

Both groups share an ideology. They loathe anyone not straight, white and male. Every awful thing in this country can be traced back to these old straight white men. Generation after generation. MarginalizIng people, holding people down. Killing people and showing no regard for human life; all the while screaming about how pro life they are.

After January 6th there can be no doubt what the republicans will do should they get power. The filibuster will be gone 5 minutes after they’re sworn in. If you don’t get that, you’re either not paying attention or not willing to admit what you know is true.

We’re in court fighting. I hope we’re organizing madly in the places it matters most right now. In a world where election officials are being threatened, replaced or resigning its an all hands on deck moment.

We’re dealing with the American Taliban.
