The Times lays out in detail the explicit fascist wave in the largest state Republican Party in America. An aside: I think a better term for this phenomenon would be ”Musliphobia” or “anti-Muslimism.”It’s quite obvious that the crime committed by this mostly conservative, family-oriented demographic is not the politically-inflected beliefs — in 2022, the Texas GOP approved a new platform that described homosexuality [as an abnormality](https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/24/texas-log-cabin-republicans/) — but the fact that they pray to God (Arabic) and not God (English).
There’s also one oversight in an otherwise well-reported article: the issue with the Frisco mayoral runoff candidate, Rod Vilhauer, was not that he at one point said that Muslim immigrants should “assimilate.” I think Muslim immigrants should assimilate. It was that he rejected the notion of Muslim Americans as a religious group, arguing that they should be considered [a terrorist entity](https://old.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/comments/1vf2vue/comment/p1rfyvg/?context=1) instead. !ping EXTREMISM&ISLAM
