An Arizona lawmaker told her colleagues how the anti-abortion laws they passed affected her. Burch gave her colleagues personal insight into the consequences of the restrictive abortion laws that most of them have supported. Yet, while she was talking, most of the Republican lawmakers in the chamber stood up and left. As The Arizona Mirror reported: Several Republicans left during Burch’s comments, she told the Arizona Mirror. Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli was among them: He left as Burch was speaking, returning briefly from the adjacent member’s lounge in an apparent mistake while she was still speaking before quickly exiting again. As soon as she finished speaking, the Republican from Lake Havasu City returned so he could make a motion to adjourn the daily floor session. A sole Republican, Prescott Sen. Ken Bennett, remained on the floor while Burch spoke. When she was done, he walked over to her, expressed his sympathy for her situation, and gave her a hug. (MSNBC)
Perhaps, just PERHAPS when TRUTH is told, not just told, but PROUDLY SPOKEN, and directed towards those who seem to only thrive on LIES, perhaps the façade in which the LIARS live will begin to crumble. Maybe, just MAYBE, if those of us who prefer facts to fiction, sincerity over insincerity, honesty instead of hypocrisy, and we keep on keeping on stating what is real versus what is imagined, we can find power over persecution from the hateful!
The Republican/MAGA/Trump world only feels confident when they attack, only feel secure when they ostracize, only feel emboldened when they try to silence any opposition. Like the Wicked Witch of Oz, isn’t it about time those of us for whom the Republican/MAGA/Trump world loves to scapegoat stop turning the other cheek, looking the other way, and start throwing buckets of truth and facts at them, continuously, constantly, in a concerted effort?
