Just came across a quote that hit me as insightful by Rebecca Hall (an actress.)

"Right to Work" is in reality a right to bust unions.
The people of Arizona could vote on getting rid of "right to work."
A broad coalition is working to get the Arizona Works Together Act on the ballot in 2024.
Residents would then vote on overturning the state's "right to work" law which hurts unions, workers, and the economy.
Canada, imperdect healthcare, but at least they aren't actively trying to murder people.

Throughout history evil people have lied about groups of people so that good people would passively accept (or even applaud) heinous acts against other humans.
This is happening now.

“Despite the allegations of bribery and corruption coming to light in 2020, just last year Paxton was reelected as attorney general with 53 percent of the vote, a solid 10 percentage points above his Democratic opponent.”
Ask me about voter suppression in Texas!

Sometimes you need to pick a side, because not picking a side because you are okay either way is picking the worse side.
I think about one of their interviews when I hear "both siders" differentiate between fascists and people who are just "okay with fascists" because it helps them.
He said von Braun just wanted to develop his rockets; he wasn't pushing the Nazi line. BUT, OTOH, Jews from the concentration camps were working on the V-2 program. He, and his team, knew what was happening and went along with it. They even worked to help the war effort and therefore to spread Nazi influence.
Watching the short "Camp Confidential: America's Secret Nazis" compiled from interviews with German speaking Jewish servicemen who worked at the camp outside Washington, DC.
At first, they were charged with interrogating Nazi prisoners about the V-2 program and helped target V-2 sites. Then, they were babysitters for Werhner von Braun and other rocket scientists.

Texas fracking billionaires Farris and Dan Wilks have given millions to Daily Wire and Prager U that are skeptical about climate change and promote anti-LGBTQ ideology. Ted Cruz and Ken Paxton have also received funds from the billionaires.
