TX State Rep: The U.S. Is 'Sleepwalking Toward Theocracy'

Listen to Democratic state Rep. James Talarico’s warning about how far-right ideologies are currently being tested on a state level in Texas, but might soon be taken nationwide with the help of Project 2025.

‘Banning books, banning abortion, forcing every teacher to display the Ten Commandments, replacing school counselors with untrained chaplains, defunding public schools to subsidize private Christian schools. We are sleepwalking toward theocracy,’ Talarico said.

Someone is FINALLY saying the TH-word. Theocracy is NOT Democracy.

Untrained chaplains....alone with your it sink in!

I lived in Saudi Arabia for years; a theocracy is not what anyone should want for America.

Project 2025 is the most unAmerican thing I’ve ever read. It’s terrifying.

And he’s a preacher! This is a man of FAITH, *warning* us about how faith is being misused and abused to create a theocracy.

I am glad at the large amount of people here who are agreeing with this man. I, as a Catholic, know that if the U.S.A. were to continue down this path, Christianity would no longer BE Christian, it would just be Fascism justified from the perspective of a religious theocracy.

This guy is great. We need to spread the word. He is absolutely right. 💪💪💪

“Sleep walking to theocracy” powerful call, and that is exactly what it feels like.

Thank you for sounding the alarm, Rep Talarico.

Not just toward theocracy but fascist theocracy

[rizeagle]

Been saying this for at least the last 10 years and everybody called me crazy and now here we are.

Freedom of religion is also freedom FROM religion.
If you want religion in your child's education, send them to a private school. PERIOD.

[j.lozano]

It's horrible! Too many people are standing by watching it happen! 😢

[gomer]

It's encouraging to see from afar, a voice of reason in the US at the moment.

[deborahlewandowski]

Their plan is not only theocracy but authoritarian theocracy. .

AMERICANS VOTED FOR TRUMP AND GOT 2 PRESIDENTS INSTEAD. TRUMP THE FELON AND HIS BUDDY ELON😢😢😢

[zenaidadeleon]

People ... electorate.... wake up! Reject divisiveness. Reject theocracy in our government. Let us all practice our freedom regardless of our own theocratic beliefs! Please🙏

[robertacolarette]

There should be more of these guys who see it up close speaking out nationwide.

[terripds]

Thank you for being public with this 🙏🏾 Project 2025 is far backwards
