"America is not a Socialist country" Winchester Star Opinions LTTE/Open Forum [View all]

Readers of the Winchester Star are not letting propaganda go unanswered. This is in response to the usual FOX/TOX talking points, today. Such responses should be happening in newspapers across the country. As Malcolm Nance has said, "I'm done with talking."

Excerpt

"Here is what Americans should fear: Republican efforts to diminish voter rights, ban books about sexuality or marginalized communities, end women’s reproductive rights, and prohibit trans and gay rights and medical care in states such as Texas, Florida, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kentucky and elsewhere. There’s an education tip line in Virginia to make parents the “eyes and spies” for the state to turn in teachers whom they think are engaging in “divisive practices.” Texas has a law that pays bounties to anyone who assists a pregnant woman obtain an abortion, even though abortion remains a protected right in this country. The Florida governor is threatening Disney, a pivotal business to the state’s economy, because it opposes his “Don’t Say Gay Bill.” These are signs of government overreach among many in the Republican party and borders on totalitarianism, a form of government that seeks to assert total control over the lives of its citizens."
