State Sen. Tom Woods said he'd fight "to keep that filth out of the state of Oklahoma because we are a Christian state"
I'm not arguing what to do with conservatives, I'm pointing out the authoritarian language being used here as hypocrisy.
You can't ever truly get rid of undemocratic elements of a society while remaining democratic, because the only way to do so is undemocratic.
In the fight against fascism we must preserve democracy. I want accountability for these people, but not through vigilante justice, or authoritarian government actions. Remember how terrible it was when Trump separated refugee families at the border and ICE intentionally didn't keep records to prevent families from being reunited later?
If we empower the government to do that sort of thing to undesirables, it could be used by fascists or otherwise authoritarian figures to punish those who disagree with them.
