This story is to give you some insight about what we are up against here in Wyoming. Good people in Wyoming find it difficult to publicly identify as a Democrat. It’s even difficult to identify as a non-radical Republican. (You’ll recall that Liz Cheney has been censured by the WY GOP.)
Yet, we have some smart, courageous, and determined Democratic candidates who are working to keep evil at bay. They are aiming to break the GOP supermajority in the state legislature. If you don’t have fascists at your doorstep, as we do, you could put your money to good use, by helping the Wyoming Democrats to support all our state legislative candidates.
DONATE TO THE WYOMING DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
Some candidates are running in extremely red districts. There is hope, because we all work hard and some Wyoming R voters may be tired of the seditionist bullies in the state GOP. Heck, the GOP state party leaders refused to seat many of the Republican delegates to their state convention. By their definition, everyone who is not on exactly the same page as the leadership is a RINO.
The New York Times story about Proud Boys in the Miami-Dade GOP sounded familiar to what we’re seeing in Wyoming including:
- bullying and intimidation of fellow GOP party members unless they tow the line
- literal fist fights at GOP events
- GOP party leadership participating in the Jan 6 insurrection
- internal conflict and the destabilization of the GOP party
- hostile protesters at school board meetings opposing masks and teaching of history
If you can’t read the NYT article because of the paywall, I encourage you to watch the MSNBC video clip below. Former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok explains the danger that the anti-democracy, far-right-wing paramilitary folks present as they infiltrate state Republican Parties as they have here in Wyoming.
Here is a snapshot for you.
The Chair of the Republican party here is really too awful, see the articles Wyo GOP chairman quietly assumed power as party fractured, (by Victoria Eavis and Rone Tempest) and Whistleblower list names Wyoming GOP chair, others as Oath Keepers (by Cooper McKim ) His devotion to the former president is creepy. Of course Drump loves him.
Liz Cheney is no doubt aware of the evidence that has been piling up about his participation in the attempted overthrow of the United States on January 6th. She’s does not hide her disdain. CapitolHunters did a 12-part thread describing some of that information. If you click on the tweet below, you should be able to see all 12 parts, even without a twitter account. Eathorne is on the left side of the left photo .
So if your state legislature is pretty sane and you have some cash to spare,
please send some our way. We’re fighting the good fight here and we could use your support.
Thank you.
