Summary
During a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) repeatedly shouted an anti-trans slur despite objections from Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly.
She defended her remarks by attacking transgender rights and dismissing criticism.
The outburst drew condemnation from LGBTQ+ advocates and political figures, highlighting her shift from previously supporting LGBTQ+ rights to embracing anti-trans rhetoric.
Mace has used the slur in past statements and introduced legislation restricting transgender rights.
It’s “guerrilla war,” not gorilla. Getting armed is good. But if you disagree with my tactical assessment, I’d at least recommend reading up on the movements that actually employed those tactics successfully. For example, here’s a very basic summation of the Vietnamese strategy:
We are not at all close to phase 2, we could hardly even be said to have started phase 1. There is no organized system of cells, no infiltration of organizations, no stockpiles of weapons (unless it’s very well hidden, I suppose). Developing all those things is valid, but require time and effort. And generally an insurgency should also have a more presentable public facing front.
In short, it’s complicated and if you’re serious about it you should study and think critically about how to apply it.
