True Texas Project has for years worked with Attorney General Ken Paxton, Sen. Ted Cruz and other prominent Republicans.
An influential grassroots group with close ties to Texas Republican lawmakers is hosting a conference next month that encourages its attendees to embrace Christian nationalism and resist a Democratic campaign “to rid the earth of the white race.”
Billed as the 15th anniversary celebration for True Texas Project, a far-right activist group that got its start as a North Texas tea party organization, the agenda claims there is a “war on white America,” or elevate theories that white Americans are being intentionally replaced through immigration — a common belief among far-right extremists, including many mass shooters.
“It’s absolutely vital we remember that when they say ‘white supremacy’ or ‘white nationalism’ or whatever the most recent scare phrase is, they literally just mean your heritage and historical way of life,” reads the description for a session on “Multiculturalism & The War on White America.” “It’s a culture war, simple as that. Stop apologizing. Stop backing down. Start fighting back.”
At what point do the powers that be start calling a spade a spade and label these the terrorist groups that they are?
There is absolutely no basis in reality or reason for this insane, violent, rhetoric.
This is Texas we’re talking about. They don’t label them as terrorists because they think of them as freedom fighters.
Then maybe the Dept of State should label Texas as a state sponsor of terrorism then? Only half joking.
Abbott did just pardon a murderer for being a conservative who killed a liberal. So you’re not that far off.
When they no longer benefit from the terrorists doing their bidding for them (so never, under the current system anyway).

Since the thread is on a topic of white supremacy in the US, I thought it might be interesting to share a little about how we tainted calling a spade a spade. We do that with a lot of things and have extra baggage on a lot of topics that other places might not.
