I have come to the realization that there are two evil movements in America today. The root of both of them is money.

I keep wondering why Trump and his fascist enablers care about abortion and sexuality? They don't. But there are religious extremists to be used, the same creeps that have been around since humanity began, who think they are doing "God's" work. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is a fine example. Bill cares about his money and HIS god. These people want to force everyone else to bend to their own religious fanaticism. It's about dominance and control. This group of evildoers is just made for manipulation by the other faction, the fascists.

The Fascists are all about money. That's it. Nothing else matters; Not you or your children, or the environment or puppies or babies or school children, who are regularly blown to horrible bits so the Military Industrial complex can continue to play golf and bang porn stars while your children die horrible deaths. When discussing school children mutilated by the NRA enabled assault weapons, Donald Trump has this solution: "Get over it!" he said.

The Nation has done some good work exposing the evil plan of the Heritage Foundation:

"On January 20, 2025, conservatives plan to resurrect a 150-year-old defunct law to ban abortion across the nation. This is not a secret plan—far from it. It’s part of the 180-Day Playbook produced by Project 2025, detailing priorities for an incoming conservative president on day one. These 900 pages lay out a Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist"
