Speaking of children, a 10 year old gets put on blast for a assignment from a shriveled up GOP congresswoman. Propaganda indeed.

Well, the whole point of the “anti-abortion” movement _is_ to persecute and kill women. This would just be cutting out the middleman and making it legal to murder women outright.

Bo French is running for state office in Texas as a Republican.

He just issued a public call to have Native Americans deported out of the country.

Of course he didn’t call them Native Americans. Or American Indians. He called them “third world savages”.

I tend to disagree. I feel the goal is to subordinate women not to kill them.

Right. They’ll only kill women if it’s necessary to subordinate them. Just like the slaveholders and segregationists only killed Black people when they got out of line.

No, the goal is to torture and kill. They always make a point of going after medical care for pregnant women and making sure as many die as possible. It’s not enough for a woman to be subordinate, she has to suffer and die as punishment for being a woman.

> [@Jeff\_Lichtman](#):

No, they kept up a constant stream of torture and death in order to maintain the desired state of permanent terror, and to punish them for existing. And for fun, of course.

Sure, the Republicans are willing to kill some women as a warning to the rest. And they’ll specifically target some women they identify as enemies.

But their goal is to have servile women not to eradicate women. They’ll save the eradication for non-white men.

Of course, that movie came out 30 years ago, and was a farce.
