Text in a screenshot from the article: “Over the past two decades, Tim O’Hare methodically amassed power in North Texas as he pushed incendiary policies such as banning undocumented immigrants from renting homes and vilifying school curriculum that encouraged students to embrace diversity. He rode a wave of conservative resentment, leaping from City Council member of Farmers Branch, a suburb north of Dallas, in 2005 to its mayor to the leader of the Tarrant County Republican Party. Three years ago, O’Hare sought his highest political office yet, running for the top elected position in the nation’s 15th-largest county, which is home to Fort Worth. Backed by influential evangelical churches and money from powerful oil industry billionaires, O’Hare promised voters he would weed out “diversity inclusion nonsense” and accused some Democrats of hating America. His win in November 2022 gave the GOP’s far right new sway over the Tarrant County Commissioners Court, turning a government that once prided itself on bipartisanship into a new front of the culture war.”

Tony S. voted for Democrats (tonystark@progressivecafe.social)'s status on Tuesday, 15-Oct-2024 00:59:37 JST Tony S. voted for Democrats

Here’s what it’s going to look like if Trump and whatever MAGA hyper-conservatives follow him up once he’s gone keep getting power.
Unless you’re part of this extremist group of right wing Christian white straight male supremacists, you’ll lose your right to vote, your right to education, your right to read what you want, your ability to own or rent a home, and a whole lot more.
They’re not letting you in.
