"James Talarico didn't hold back when describing what his Republican colleagues in the Texas Capitol have done " banning abortion even in cases of rape, ------, and threats to the mother's life.
Since that day, 26,000 Texas women have been forced to give birth after a rape. Infant and maternal mortality have spiked.
Pregnant women are being told to wait in ER parking lots until they go into sepsis.
And Talarico said he's watched these same politicians pass bills to hurt trans kids " some of the most vulnerable children in our communities " using their immense power to hunt them in plain sight.
He's wrestling with how to love his enemies while fighting back against legislation that's costing real lives.
That's the tension of faith under an authoritarian-leaning GOP."

Love your enemies and hate your friends. Especially if they drink up all the beer. That's my motto.

Nice sentiment but I've got no love for fascists. Every single one of them can f--- right off.

Someone missed me calling it hard werk.
Of course, that someone misses nearly everything with his Trump Love Blinders on.
Although it's more likely hatred of people who dare not to be like him.

"FWIW I don't view the left as enemies...I just view many of them as subhuman undeserving of rights. Same as most minorities! And don't get me started on women and girls!"

Pres Trump seeks to divide the Country.
That's why he calls Democrats "the enemy from within."
Pres Trump seems to strengthen the support of his base by using such divisive language.
A President should not use such divisive rhetoric.
