“It’s like these people live in some kind of parallel universe that is hate filled and conspiracy filled and have a twisted view of our democracy and Constitution,” said Gilberto Hinojosa, chairman of the Texas Democratic Party. “It’s almost like these people are on a psychotic, drug-induced trip.”Texas faces a key gubernatorial election in November which will pit incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott against Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke.
“A red wave is going to sweep across Texas and this nation and begin a new era,” he said, calling on the party “to take the fight directly to the left and go on offense.” “This means using our state majority to define the debate. This means influencing the public opinion instead of following the polls,” he said.
The rebuke of Cornyn — a popular figure among Texas Republicans who won the nomination for reelection in 2020 with 76 percent of the vote — shows the unwillingness of party faithful to offer any concessions on gun rights, even as polls show large majorities of Americans back congressional action.
Frightening.
Eric Greitens is claiming that you, , ran his video ad on his twitter page, FYI. Please mark that as 'False.' ...Highly violent ad fuels rampages of gun violence. (He could invest in mutual reverence among peoples regardless of 'parties' or stances on issues.)
Move while you can still get out!
The vendor sign in the photo … “America’s Only Christian Conservative Wireless Phones”…? 😬
Well. Any who adores a real size poster of Rambo is in somehow in love of him
Texas Nazi convention more like it😠
They're anti gay yet made a cutout of Trump cosplaying as Rambo? C'mon.
These people are Americans? Cut off all Federal funding. Take your hate and stuff it.
🤦🏻♂️
The psrty of fascist garbage strikes again
Completely reprehensible.
Only going to get worse IMO. The GOP has no platform. They don’t propose anything, they don’t want to change anything. So you gotta run on culture war and vitriol. “Upset with your lot in life? Blame the ‘other’ people who don’t deserve it.”
Why would you say “anti-gay rhetoric” is far-right? For all of human history it has been mainstream. Rather pro-gay rhetoric is far Left of center. This is the def of propaganda. And yes, I am SSA (as if that matters).
With all the problem in this country, the biggest we can fight in over whom someone sleeps with, so big that we will kill each other. Lord forgive those who want to do your job and bless all that will die for it.
You mean “embrace hatred of other humans”
I don’t know a whole lot about the gays, except I think it involves faeces or something
In my opinion them dang repubs need to stay out of folks personal lives and bedrooms
The Texas GOP platform offers nothing but hate and ignorance masquerading as protection and patriotism.
The GOP is an extremist organization and news organizations should be honest about that fact.
What was anti gay about the convention?
Hilarious that they have a cutout of Trump as Rambo considering John Rambo was rather famously a Vietnam veteran while Trump is a Vietnam draft dodger.
You mean to tell me that there are no GOP members who have gay friends, gay family members? There’s nobody in Texas who votes for the right wing that gives any thought or care to the lives of gay people
Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 ESV
I assume this means Ted Cruz will stop accepting money from proud gay man Peter Thiel.
Could someone please indicate to me where in the reference the author of this article uses that there is a resolution that rejects the outcome of the 2020 presidential election and refers to Joe Biden as an illegitimate president? Im not trump fan just looking at their reference.
The Republican Party continues to show how it is completely out of touch with society today. Many in the Republican Party are a clear and present danger to US democracy.
Speaking as a Christian, I cannot apologise *enough* for those who identify themselves as Christians & then impose things like gun ownership, political points of view, etc. onto Jesus' message, by proxy. Biblically speaking, when it comes 2 human governance Jesus was 'apolitical'
That cardboard cutout from Rambo II with the Orange Sloth face. 🤣🤣 They really don't see how stupid that looks.
Texass should be turned back over to Mexico
Homophobia brought to you today by anti-Black racism. I kid you not. Look again the replacement theory.
That is one homo-erotic Trump Rambo. No wonder they like putting his face on a fit body.
Meanwhile, you know Grindr was blowing up in the area around the convention after hours…
Not anti gay. Just anti groomer. Two separate issues
Just another Con con. A tantrum of hatred. They can't even keep the electricity on. Seriously doubt they've actually thought out the repercussions of succession, bless their hearts.
The WP writes this as though it would be a bad thing, except it's not true. Republicans cucked to the globohomo agenda years ago.
They embrace homophobia, racism, misogyny and violence. That’s the Republican Party.
Lots of closet queens in one big room!😂😂😂
Because they’re far right and anti-gay
There must have been a clinical calculus conducted that determined they will win more PB and white supremacist votes than the gay votes they will lose if they made this move...GOP policies are solely dictated by this metric nowadays, look at FL.
This is not far right stuff anymore, this is literally the right.
they hate themselves
Ya ALL are radical. These guys and the far left. The MAJORITY of us are in the middle watching YA ALL year it apart socially & economically.... Using the levers of power (gov't & central banks & corporatism) to squeeze us
Nice try … dems will be getting their ases handed to them in November..!
Fascism is your platform TexasGOP
I appreciate that people want more from Democrats than to not be Republicans But I don't understand a moral system that says not voting is an acceptable alternative to voting against this
These people are scared shitless.
Finish the thought, “At Texas GOP convention, loyalist embrace far right, anti-gay rhetoric”while embodying dated homoerotic memes.
Strange how the vast majority of all my conservative friends fully embrace the gay community. As a matter of fact, many of our gay friends are Republican. I guess they base their politics on a variety of decisions and not just one.
😄 THAT'S who they think trump is? That coward would leave an oil slick three miles long as he ran in the opposite direction of any trouble. He'd use kids as human shields. He'd mow over little old ladies and the disabled to get out of harm's way. They think he's Rambo?😆
somehow through all this analysis the policy plank calling for a state convention to examine whether Texas should secede and declare itself an independent nation goes without mention. That's how crazy this while thing is.
Nothing says Great American Patriot better than pose- posturing with a Russian designed and foreign made weapon.
Fu Whashington Post. You guys couldn't make a warm bath for somebody without lying about it. Your name is mud and its well earned. Cheers to the end of your paper. Hope you pricks go bank rupt.
Sure
Probably should watch 2000 Mules before calling Biden's election a victory. More like a coup.
