Texas tries to bully refugee resettlement organizations

Yes, you really can blame em. It's not up to a some random officials using a maze of legal resources funded by taxpayers, to intimidate people and try to run them off by making them spend money to have to fight frivolous legal battles at a cost. It's a free country. A dumbass governor can't unilaterally ban groups of people he doesn't like from his state, at his whim. That kind of dictatorial power didn't come with the election results that got him into office.

 

My heart doesn't say anything close to what I think you are assuming. I was describing what I saw. There's no need to try to shoehorn things into, "left-wing social movements" or try to equivocate what these politicians in Texas are doing with something about the president -- to create an equivalency of some sort that minimizes their actions. I can look at something objectively and stay on topic about the exact thing I am talking about, without needing to try to make it about anything else. This had zero to do with the president. It has nothing to do with a "left-wing social movement."

It's interesting that you came up with "every 21st century left-wing social movement," though. I don't see the world that way. If I did have to shoehorn things, I wouldn't be thinking in terms of "left wing" or "right wing" which have become all but meaningless terms. What these politicians are doing in Texas is no less of a "social movement" than the social movements you might deem "left wing." For me, it's simply a liberty thing -- I don't care what corrupt political party someone attaches their name to. Leave people alone and let them live freely without interference (whatever the agenda or "movement"). Stop trying to socially engineer the world to fit your biases. It amounts to trampling on the freedom of anyone who runs afoul of you. That goes for whatever you mean by "left wing" and whatever you might mean by "right wing." To me, it's all the same bullshit -- even if the rhetoric different politicians employ appeals to different people (with their biases).

To me, it is all the same. We should all -- including people who immigrate here and have traditionally been the lifeblood of our melting pot -- be free to live our lives the WAY we choose, WHERE we choose, and in a way that allows each of us individually to enjoy the things we have earned HOWEVER we choose -- without interference from others.
