Spineless establishment RINOs like you have conceded every fight with the Communists when you held power.\n\nYa\u2019ll \u201cConservatives\u201d haven\u2019t actually conserved anything.\n\nNow the Godless have power and they are destroying our country. Soon we will have to deal with this directly.https://twitter.com/SpencerMRitchie/status/1507370104270602241\u00a0\u2026

I am just trying to stay alive. \n\nRobert Foster, a former Mississippi House lawmaker who lost a 2019 bid for governor, is using his social-media platform to call for the execution of political foes who support the rights of transgender people.https://www.mississippifreepress.org/22283/ex-gop-gov-candidate-calls-for-firing-squad-for-trans-rights-supporters-political-foes/\u00a0\u2026

This thread... Those who scream the loudest about being pro-life, are the ones who really aren't.\n\nRobert Foster has cemented his legacy as scum of the Earth. The wall is waiting for him. To line up against it. \n\n#Mississippi\n\n#TransRightsAreHumanRights #EvenInMississippi\nhttps://twitter.com/ashtonpittman/status/1507482156821536770\u00a0\u2026

Yesterday, March 26, 2022, in America, we had two sitting politicians make violent threats against trans and gay people, one of them (Mississippi's Robert Foster) going so far as to say he wants trans people to be lined up and shot.\n\nCis people: Do something. Be thunderous.

Good lord. And the scary thing is, there seems to be no bottom.

Mississippi seems to be returning to the attitudes of the sixties before civil rights were passed\nSeems scary and unreal

As a devout follower of Christ, nothing hurts me more than people propagating hate and violence in His name. The Bible teaches repeatedly to not judge others because we are imperfect judges (mote in the other's eye, beam in yours, etc.). 1/2

Robert Foster, a Mississippi republican gubernatorial candidate, calls for LGBTQ youth and transgender people to be murdered by firing squad\n\nYour reminder: The nazis didn\u2019t start with murdering Jews, they started with attacking trans rights.\n1/https://lgbtqnation.com/2022/03/mississippi-republican-calls-execution-transgender-people-firing-squad/\u00a0\u2026
