American papers are filled with pundits speculating about the horrors the Taliban may inflict on the people of Afghanistan, particularly its women. Less attention has been paid to the horrors Texas Republicans — the Taliban wing of the Republican Party — are inflicting on the State of Texas. In total control of the state, Republicans have a free hand that they’ve used to enforce extremism.
Dubbing them the Texas Taliban isn’t just name-calling. The parallels are chilling. The Taliban scorn democracy. They see their opponents as heretics and heathens. The Taliban are bigots, rejecting people of other religions. The Taliban enforce a religious zealotry with suppression of women a central tenet. The Taliban invoke religious law to supplant the civil law. The Taliban reject modernity, scorn science, and seek return to a fundamentalist society that never was.
In the last two weeks, the Taliban honored an agreement to help the U.S. military get 123,000 Afghans and Americans out of the country and promised to do more as they seek to work with other nations.
In that same period, the Texas legislature and Abbott sought to restrict voting and take away a woman’s right to self-determination. Who are we to not trust a newly emerging Taliban as it seeks its place in the family of nations while being asked to trust a Republican Government of Texas that attacks democracy and the rights of women?
It’s the old tried-and-true Confederate State of Texas, the last state to inform its slaves they were free, for which we now celebrate Juneteenth.

Sounds like hate speech to me.

This is a perfect example of when Leftists accuse Conservatives of something, it’s because they are doing the very same thing, only orderS of magnitude worse.
(Emphasis on the plural of orderS.)
Liberals have gone from calling us nazis to the taliban. How up to date of them.
I’m saddened that the Rebrum got over the Rona.
If they feel that way-why do they support thi wholesale immigration??
“ Taliban are bigots, rejecting people of other religions”
Just like American Libtards!
No wonder they armed the Talibiden.
Chicago routinely kills more black people than any other city, and now they want to lecture Texas. Get the log out of your own eye before you look to the mote in mine.
