Yesterday, Texas Governor Abbott issued an executive order to suspend all statues that would allow a private party to compel someone to get a COVID shot (notionally addressing the employers making vaccination a condition of employment).

Today his opponent called him out
…because the Texas Department of Family & Protective Services website had a page that discussed LGBTQ and gender identity issues for teens.

quote:

“These are not Texas values, these are not Republican Party values, but these are obviously Greg Abbott’s values,” Huffines said in a widely circulated video on Twitter. The webpage published by the Department of Family and Protective Services linked to a suicide prevention hotline and other resources “dedicated to helping empower and celebrate” young LGBTQ people.

Yes, but how can we reach out and understand these candidates and their voters? Surely we just need to open a dialogue.

"Stand back, Ottawan ruffian, or face my lumens!"

No one's ever going to accuse me of being a Maoist, but tracking down this article, it never explicitly says "final solution to the Taiwan question."

It does have the term "final solution" in it, and "Taiwan question" is mentioned *nine times* in total within the copy, though. The rhetoric is inflammatory enough without conjuring Nazis.

Yeah, they definitely added "to the Taiwan question" to the interviewer's words for that tweet. The original quote in the article is

quote:

The anonymous expert said that "The mainland's warning against secessionism is not just talking the talk, and whether the final solution will be peaceful or not, the secessionists will be judged, condemned and punished. This is not just a warning, but also a serious promise from the Communist Party of China (CPC) to the Chinese nation."

The meaning is clear, they just wanted to make it explicit in the tweet I guess.

Eh, the tweet itself does, though, which is still direct from the state media outlet.
https://twitter.com/globaltimesnews/status/1447980388635324417?t=h0c_6pTPUu4305TIMd-hFQ&s=19

Of course, the CCP's propaganda arms being ignorant of or willfully blind to the history of that particular turn of phrase is a lot less relevant than the actual strides they've made in military capabilities over the last decade. It's far from a sure thing that Taiwan could hold off an invasion even with ample US support and it's hard to say how Xi weighs the potential economic fallout against the strategic/revanchist value of absorbing the island. Or, for that matter, whether he thinks the counterbalancing starting to take place in the states on China's periphery might in the future eliminate the option of invasion entirely.

Really hoping neither Russia nor China get up to any overt shenanigans during the midterms or presidential election...
