I moved to Fort Worth in 1981. Katie Sherrod was then, and continues to be, a truthteller. What she wrote 30 years ago is still true. The Fort Worth Way set the stage for George W. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism”. Screw people over, but politely. Help, but only if they don’t ask for too much, and are grateful. Can’t we just all be nice to each other? 😞🤬

I have seen someone practicing Compassionate Conservativism by 'donating' a used mascara tube.

Compassionate Conservativism robs needy people of their dignity.

Maybe these 'saviors' should just vote for living wages, affordable housing, better healthcare, safe childcare and less mass incarceration.
