It's odd, I almost made a thread about this, I think people who use the phrase American Taliban have no idea what the Taliban actually did. I'm not a Republican but no Republican is calling for the stoning to death of women and the mass execution of homosexuals. I don't think anybody who uses this phrase can ever complain about someone else making a false comparison. It drives me crazy, living in the most Republican part of Texas is not the same as living under the Taliban, where you personally would of been killed a long time ago for being who you are.

I'll admit, it's an exaggeration, but I will say that the Republican party is much closer to being the same as the Taliban than the Democrats. In fact, the Republican party of today is much closer than the Republican party just 10 years ago. Which party supports religious dogma being enforced as law? Which party glamorizes military? Which party is steeped in misogyny, homophobia and xenophobia?
