The Wilkes Bros BTW are the main funders of Prager U.
I’m watching this now. What an AWFUL state! Saw Beto O’Rourke on “The Last word” yesterday. My G-d, I hope he can pull it off. Maybe (sadly) Uvalde parents, community can help pull it off.
Two people should not control 30 million just because they have lots of money. There needs to be some new campaign finance laws, specifically you can only receive donation from your voting district and the state party organization. Let’s level the playing field.
This will begin moving to the national level with the Koch Brother, and Rupert Murdock jumping on the train.
This is bad and getting worse.
When money equals free speech, the billionaires have an outsized say, relative to the size of their donations, in how this country works. They can fund shadow PACS and pull the puppet strings from behind the curtain. Democracy does not stand a chance in such an unfair system. The system is unlikely to change when the very people that have to vote for change are the same people that need money to run their campaigns. It is a clear conflict of interest.
The Trump supporters in AIPAC are a threat to democracy and to the Democratic Party.
Wilks and Dunn are fanatics that believe they have a mandate from God to turn the country into a Christian country, and they are using their wealth to shape conservative politics in the state. Any disagreement results in these two using their weaponized wealth to push candidates out of office and replace “the offender” with someone that will forward their agenda. These two will only accept puppet representatives that will follow their agenda. This is how so-called democracy works when money can influence elections. We need limits on spending with all candidates getting the same amount from the government in order to have a democracy that is of, by and for the people.
Right wing Christianity (including Catholicism) hides misogyny giving it a false veneer.
So true, Linda.
These men are filled with self-loathing.
Yvonne-
They fear competing on a level playing field among other things.
A person on the internet wrote that Josh Hawley’s new book shouldn’t be called Manhood. It should be called Man+ Hood ( the KKK kind).
“compelled religious conformance”
I think there is a bit of redundancy in your thought!
Thanks for pointing it out.
