If Republicans Get Their Way, America IsOn The Road To ‘Fascism Mixed With Talibanism
Quote:MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed Tuesday that Republicans were pushing the United States toward a dystopian, white-male-centered “fascism mixed with Talibanism” — and that if Democrats were as bad as the GOP, they would be outright accusing Republicans of being pro-rape, pro-child marriage, and more.
“The greatest, and sickest irony of the @GOP‘s new political strategy is that they are appealing to the most prurient fears of white Christian parents, while passing bills and maintaining alliances that normalize child brides and rape as a legitimate means of procreation,” Reid said, kicking off a lengthy Twitter thread.
“If Democrats were anything like Republicans, they’d long ago have begun calling them the pro-rape, pro child marriage party and accusing them of forcing women to be child-birthing slaves of the state, while banning the teaching of what slavery is to keep the chattel docile,” she continued, apparently suggesting that the only reason Democrats had not begun to use such terminology was that they were more civil.
“I genuinely fear that before long, America will look a lot more like Russia or Hungary or even Afghanistan than any one of y’all can imagine,” Reid continued with her dire warning. “Because Republicans are aggressive in their pursuit of social and political control, while just about everyone else is pretty disengaged.”
“Think I’m exaggerating? Here is the [Federalist] piece that [Chris Hayes] referred to on his show tonight, in which the author justifies a 40-something year old man marrying a 14-16 year old girl, for the purposes of pumping her full of many, many children…,” Reid continued. The MSNBC host failed to acknowledge the fact that even in the screenshots of the article she shared, the author pointed out the fact that men marrying younger women in order to allow for larger families was once a widely accepted practice — and that times had changed since.
“And here’s another, in which the @FDRLST gives away the game: all that matters is the SCOTUS,” Reid continued, referencing “The Handmaid’s Tale” and accusing conservatives of wanting to use the high court to implement a theocracy. “Because it is through the Supreme Court, that the white Christian right hopes to impose its Taliban code and procreation-centered ideology on us all. #underhiseye.”
“It’s Putinite fascism mixed with Talibanism. And it’s what they hope to impose on us: unbreakable rule by far right Christian ideologues, coal & oil polluters, heeled corporations & the super rich,” Reid claimed, arguing that the ultimate goal was a world where all rights were “hoarded by white Christian men & everyone else under firm control.”

RE: If Republicans Get Their Way, America IsOn The Road To ‘Fascism Mixed With Talibanism
I swear that if she hasn't been nominated as the dumbest Harvard grad of all time, we need to forward that nomination. She's kind of like the female version of former Senator Joe Biden, except that she's kind of stuck in a loop of the same issues over and over. I wonder who actually listens to her dumb ass?
Every clip I see of her she makes out her 'enemies' to be racist, misogynistic, violent brutes.I couldn't imagine having to listen to her every day. It's like she has a coloring book with only 3 colors in the box of crayons.
Joy, you're welcome to leave and go to your favorite utopia any time you wish. You've created such a fantasy world here but I'm betting that you won't be leaving. You'd find out that many places in the world are worse than the U.S.
She gives Mr. Potatohead a run for the money for dumbest person on TV.

God had a sense of humor when her parents named her "Joy."

Her ability to spout that nonsense is one of the dangers of having the 1A and living in a constitutional republic.
