4. The oil billionaires funding the effort to turn Texas into Afghanistan are Dominionists.

Tm Dunn and Faris Wilks have used their money to create a state that is ruled according to their religious beliefs. I’ve forgotten which one of them belongs to an extremist church where women are required to attend but they cannot speak or participate in any way. Only men have that right. Now that abortion for any reason is impossible in Texas, they’ll buy politicians to outlaw birth control and then finish off public education. Their dream is to close all public schools and turn them into Christian academies that teach their brand of religion, at taxpayer expense of course. Their idea of schools sounds a lot like the Taliban’s madrassas that teach Islam and not much else.
