GOP legislators do nothing for their badly governed state, focus on spreading hate.

You’d think Montana was paradise. Because the GOP-dominated government has no problems to solve, no issues to address. Except for promoting hate and silencing truth.

In a repulsive orgy of power lust, self-righteous cruelty, and boundless ignorance, the government of Montana finds they have nothing useful to do in their jobs — so they abuse their transgender colleague. Montana IS a beautiful state. Sadly, the leaders who dominate the government there are very, very ugly.

Silencing the People’s Representative

In a cowardly rebuke to taxpaying citizens of the state, the GOP-controlled legislature have silenced Democrat State Rep. Zooey Zephyr, prohibiting her from speaking up for her constituents for the rest of the legislative session.

The GOP is on a tear, spewing hatred and prioritizing the abuse of their latest scapegoats — transgender people. They always prioritize hatred, whether it is hatred of foreigners, or women, or children who have actually been born, or teachers, or basically any harmless or even helpful people simply trying to live their lives.

They can’t tolerate people who aren’t like themselves. They are bigoted, selfish…
