Texas Republican Caucus – Strategy Briefing, San Antonio
Across the political aisle, the Republican leadership met in a sleek, air-conditioned office suite with a whiteboard scribbled in red and blue markers.
State GOP Chair Martin Reese stood at the front, pointing at a chart showing 6C states and polling bumps following the implementation of Femme Group Laws.
Chairman Reese:
“Whether we like it or not, it’s working. These community-based family structures and economic incentives? They’re resonating in red zones and blue ones alike. And now, Democrats in our own backyard are testing it without the polygamy baggage.”
Policy Director Kelly Tran:
“The question is: do we jump in and redefine it our way? Faith-centered, traditionalist, with local autonomy. Or do we let them run away with it and dominate the woman’s vote in border counties?”
State Senator Rick Donnelly:
“If we move too slow, it’ll look like we’re against empowering women. If we move too fast, we’ll get accused of copying theocratic structures.”
Tran (pointing to polling numbers):
“Conservative-leaning Latinas, Asian American women, and even single moms in the suburbs are warming up to the idea—especially when framed as economic solidarity. We don't have to call it 'Femme Groups.' We just call it ‘Family Stability Zones’ or ‘Community Sovereignty Charters.’”
Reese (smirking):
“Fine. If Democrats want to flirt with our fvor of governance, let’s make it a competition. Let’s see who can build a better structure. Just remember—ours won’t have strings attached to billionaires.”
Outcome: As both parties scramble to position themselves, the three assemblywomen—Izzy, Sofia, and Jasmine—continue their quiet rise, increasingly spotlighted as the faces of a new, controversial center of gravity in Texas politics. And behind them, Morgan Yates moves her next piece.
Scene: Texas Republican Leadership – Strategic Resumption Meeting.
Location: Private Lounge, Governor’s Mansion Annex – Austin, TX.
The te evening air was thick with cigar smoke and tension. A circle of powerful Republican wmakers and strategists—mostly men—gathered around a long mahogany table, nursing gsses of bourbon as their phones buzzed with updates on the rising popurity of Femme Group Laws.
Lt. Governor Cyton Brooks leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, eyes on the data charts projected on the screen.
Lt. Gov. Brooks:
“So we’re all in agreement—the Femme Groups trend is here, and it’s moving voters. But let’s stop pretending it’s a full-spectrum solution. It’s pandering to one side of the electorate.”
Senator Jake Holloway (R-Amarillo), gruff and straight-shooting:
“Yeah, it’s all about women’s solidarity, sisterhood housing, pooled income. Not a damn word about what that means for men—especially our voters. If we back this as-is, we lose the masculinity vote.”
Chairman Martin Reese:
“Femme Laws without polygamy? It’s a half-measure. You’ve got women forming economic encves, consolidating property, and locking out traditional family structures. That’s going to make men nervous—hell, it should.”
State Rep. Kyle Denton (R-Tyler):
“Let’s be honest, 6C got this part right. Their version of the w doesn’t just offer women options—it integrates men back into a dominant structure. That’s the piece our base resonates with. Strong men, big families, leadership, legacy.”
Senator Holloway:
“We need a version that doesn't apologize for male authority. We push for Femme Groups and plural marriage reforms—call it ‘Family Sovereignty Law.’ Recim the narrative before the left rebrands it with some feminist gloss.”
Lt. Gov. Brooks:
“Exactly. We frame it as returning power to the family unit. Patriarch-led, multi-wife structures optional, not mandatory. But we make room for it—and we emphasize that it’s about choice, freedom, and heritage.”
Reese, nodding slowly:
“We draft two bills. One: localized Femme Group zones that allow for economic collectives—co-branded with family values. Two: Polygamy reform under religious liberty grounds. We let the market of voters decide which appeals more.”
Senator Holloway, with a smirk:
“Let the Democrats keep selling girlboss communes. We’ll offer dynasties.”
Brooks:
“Alright. Let’s line up some sympathetic media and prep a few friendly think tanks. We make it look like a cultural restoration, not a theocratic power grab.”
Reese:
“And we better move fast. Because I guarantee you—someone’s already writing checks to their side. If we don’t shape the narrative, Hezri’s people will.”
Everyone nods. The meeting breaks with a shared sense of urgency.
Next Steps: The Texas GOP begins quietly drafting two legistive packages:
1)The Family Sovereignty Act – which legalizes plural marriage under religious liberty framing.
2)The Community Empowerment Bill – a competing version of the Femme Group w retooled for broader family appeal.
The stage is set for a cultural and legistive showdown—who defines family in Texas: the feminized vision of stability or the patriarchal vision of legacy?

Headline: Texas GOP Announces Dual Bills on Family Reform—Polygamy and Femme Group Laws on the Table
Date: May 10, 2025
Location: Austin, Texas
In a bold legistive maneuver, Republican leaders in Texas have announced they are drafting two separate but complementary bills aimed at reshaping the state's family structure ws: one that would legalize and regute plural marriage, and another that would authorize Femme Group collectives, economic and residential networks of women who live and work cooperatively.
Lieutenant Governor Cyton Brooks, fnked by senior GOP wmakers at a press conference this morning, made it clear the party is “reciming the family values narrative” without aligning themselves with the growing influence of the 6 Commandments (6C) movement that governs 20 states.
“Let me be absolutely clear,” said Brooks. “Texas does not and will not take orders from outside ideologies. These proposals are rooted in Texan tradition, religious liberty, and community empowerment—not in theocratic extremism.”
-The GOP’s legistive package includes:
1) The Family Sovereignty Act: Legalizes plural marriage among consenting adults under religious freedom protections. It outlines property-sharing rights, inheritance ws, and child custody structures within polygamous households.
2)The Community Empowerment Act: Enables the creation of registered Femme Group communities—collectives of women who live, pool resources, and run joint ventures, modeled on structures already popur in 6C states, but stripped of any religious mandates or polygamous associations.
Senator Jake Holloway (R-Amarillo), a co-sponsor of the bills, said the dual-track approach is meant to address both traditionalist and modern populist concerns.
“We’re offering Texans a choice. Whether you're a patriarch building a legacy or a group of women forming a stable economic block, the w should respect that. It’s about freedom, not dogma.”
-Distancing From 6C
While the bills share simirities with ws enacted in 6C-controlled regions, GOP leaders adamantly deny any colboration or ideological alignment with Hezri’s regime.
“The 6C brand comes with authoritarian baggage. We’re focused on liberty, not control,” added Representative Kyle Denton (R-Tyler). “These ws are our own—Texan in origin, American in spirit.”
-Political Reactions
Democrats, especially those in urban districts, are scrambling to define their stance as three of their own members—Representatives Cortez, Nguyen, and Flores—continue publicly supporting Femme Group legistion.
Progressives worry the Republicans’ approach may normalize polygamy while blurring the lines between cultural liberty and patriarchal dominance.
Evangelical groups remain divided, with some praising the defense of “biblical family values” and others wary of polygamy being mainstreamed.
What’s Next?
Draft nguage for both bills is expected to be released within two weeks. Public hearings may begin as early as next month.
The question now: Can Republicans sell plural marriage and women’s collectives as two sides of the same cultural coin—without igniting a civil war within their own base or validating the 6C regime they publicly reject?

Closed-Door Republican Leadership Meeting – Texas State Capitol, Austin
The oak-paneled room was dimly lit, the te afternoon sun casting long shadows across the conference table. Inside sat the top brass of the Texas GOP—Lieutenant Governor Cyton Brooks, Senator Jake Holloway (R-Amarillo), Representative Kyle Denton (R-Tyler), and a handful of senior strategists and legal aides. They were deep in discussion, not about budget caps or energy grids, but about wives—how many a man should be allowed to legally marry under the proposed Plural Marriage Reform Act.
Lt. Gov. Brooks (leaning back, arms crossed):
"One thing we can’t do is go full Utah-compound crazy. We need to find a number that sounds... structured. Respectable. Biblical, even."
Senator Holloway (brows furrowed, flipping through polling data):
"Three seems like the sweet spot. Enough to draw in traditionalists and religious libertarians, but not enough to scare suburban moderates. Once you go above four, the media starts using words like 'cult.'"
Rep. Denton (smirking):
"Right, three wives sounds like a vision. Five sounds like a wsuit waiting to happen."
GOP Policy Strategist:
"Polling from 6C states shows the average accepted norm is between two and four. But if we position it as up to three spouses, with an optional religious exemption to go beyond that—"
Brooks (interrupting):
"No exemptions. We’re not the 6C. We want this w to look clean, constitutional, and modern. We set the limit. We don't make loopholes."
Holloway:
"And women? Can they have multiple husbands under this?"
(The room pauses.)
Denton (after a beat):
"...We’ll lose the base. Let’s stick to plural marriage for men, and frame Femme Groups as the women's empowerment counterpart."
Brooks:
"Agreed. Final draft should legalize up to three wives, with mutual consent, registration process, and property rights guidelines. That way, we keep it wful—not wless."
As the meeting wrapped, aides began finalizing nguage for a public announcement. The Plural Marriage Reform Act would cap the number of legal spouses at three women per man, sidestepping the chaos of unreguted polygamy while still opening the door to religious conservatives and cultural populists.
The Republican strategy was clear: offer just enough radical to energize the base—without sounding like they were copying Hezri’s pybooks.

“One Too Many”
Scene 1: Grassroots Backsh – Amarillo Town Hall.
It was supposed to be a low-key community meeting, but the town hall in Amarillo was standing room only. Conservative women filled the chairs—churchgoers, PTA leaders, young Republican volunteers, and Tea Party veterans. A local GOP representative, Rep. Trish Rownd, had just finished outlining the proposed Plural Marriage Reform Act when the room erupted in frustration.
Kathy Miller, a rancher’s wife and county chapter chair for Women of Faith GOP, stood up, voice unwavering.
“I voted Republican my whole life, but I didn’t vote for my husband to start auditioning second wives.”
Laughter and scattered appuse followed.
Sarah Lively, a 25-year-old political science grad and social media coordinator for the county GOP, added:
“You’re telling me we’re fighting for women’s values, but now we’re endorsing ws that normalize men collecting wives like trophies?”
Murmurs of agreement spread. Some held handmade signs:
“One Man. One Woman. One Marriage.”
“Family Values ≠ Polygamy.”
Rownd tried to reassure them, saying the w was “optional” and meant to “honor religious freedom,” but it didn’t nd. The crowd wasn’t angry—they were betrayed.
Scene 2: Texas GOP Leadership Meeting – Austin
The fallout reached the Capitol fast. Within 48 hours, the women’s wing of the Texas GOP had sent an open letter, and local talk radio hosts were airing heated calls.
In a private meeting, Lt. Governor Brooks, Senator Holloway, and Rep. Denton reviewed the damage.
Brooks (rubbing his temples):
“We underestimated the suburban wives. Again.”
Holloway:
“They’re calling it 'soft Sharia' on Twitter. Some donors are even threatening to pull.”
Denton (shrugging):
“I still think three was modest compared to 6C, but two might feel... safer.”
Brooks:
"Fine. Draft an amendment. Cap it at two wives, max. We’ll call it a compromise and spin it as ‘moderate pluralism.’ Make it sound like we’re protecting family structure while preserving liberty.”
Holloway:
“And emphasize it's not required—only permitted. Voluntary registration. Keeps the legal structure clean.”
Brooks:
"And make sure we leak that it was female grassroots pressure that pushed the revision. Let them own the win."
The decision was unanimous. Two wives would be the new limit—a strategic walk-back that let the party save face without killing momentum.
Later that Week: Press Release from the Texas GOP
"In response to valuable feedback from our Republican women across the state, we are amending the Plural Marriage Reform Act to limit legally recognized plural unions to no more than two consenting adult spouses. The Texas GOP remains committed to protecting religious liberty, personal freedom, and the traditional values that hold our communities together."
It was a rare moment where the grassroots—especially its women—shaped policy, not just supported it.

Texas Democratic Party Headquarters – Austin
A closed-door meeting was underway in the heart of Austin. The Democratic leadership from across Texas had convened—state senators, senior aides, party chairs, and communication directors. The conference table was strewn with press clippings, video transcripts, and polling data.
State Chairwoman Linda Vasquez stood at the front, pointer in hand, highlighting two items on the screen behind her:
GOP Announces Plural Marriage Bill – "Two-Wife Max" Amendment
Three Democratic Reps Champion Femme Group Laws, Stir Intra-Party Debate.
She turned to the room, clearly exasperated.
Vasquez:
“First the Republicans flirt with plural marriage. Now we’ve got three of our own—Izzy Cortez, Sofia Nguyen, and Jasmine Flores—pushing something that sounds suspiciously like 6C policy with feminist lipstick on it.”
Senator Raul Trevi?o (South Texas):
“But it’s gaining traction. Their nguage is careful—empowerment, economic dignity, community justice. They're not pushing polygamy, they’re framing it like welfare reform for women, mutual aid, even anti-trafficking.”
Communications Director Tanya Lin:
“And frankly, the public’s listening. Especially working-css women and younger Latina and Asian voters. Izzy’s speeches are pulling big engagement online. Gen Z TikTok’s calling it ‘state-sanctioned sisterhood.’”
Vice Chair Marcus Bell:
“But it’s not a party ptform. Not vetted, not coordinated. It’s rogue. And if we don’t reel them in, we lose message discipline. Republicans are already floating comparisons—‘Democrats now agree with 6C-lite.’ It muddies everything.”
Vasquez:
“And we don’t want to look like we’re just reacting to the GOP’s polygamy stunt either. But let’s not lie to ourselves. Whatever Izzy, Sofia, and Jasmine are channeling—it’s resonating.”
Senator Trevi?o:
“So, what’s the move? Public rebuke? Or... do we quietly explore integrating parts of it into our own agenda?”
A heavy silence fell. The party was caught between a rising undercurrent and a looming PR disaster. They couldn’t control the narrative anymore—they had to decide whether to fight it, ignore it, or ride the wave.
Vasquez finally said:
“Let’s open an exploratory task force. Femme Groups, yes—but branded our way. No ties to 6C. No polygamy. If Cortez and her girls want a movement, they can’t lead it alone. Not without us.”
Everyone nodded. It wasn’t an endorsement. But it wasn’t a rejection either.
The tide was shifting.
....
The lights dim slightly as a new slide appears on the projector screen.
Slide Title: GOP Draft – Polygamy Bill (Two-Wife Cap)
Underneath: “A Family Choice Act” – Republican Framing Strategy
Chairwoman Linda Vasquez:
“So. The GOP just lobbed a cultural grenade and called it ‘family values.’ A two-wife limit, wrapped in nguage about ‘freedom of domestic structure.’”
Communications Director Tanya Lin (deadpan):
“They’re trying to make polygamy sound like co-parenting reform.”
Laughter ripples briefly, but it’s uneasy.
State Rep. Jayden Morales (Austin):
“We need a position. Silence makes us complicit, and direct opposition makes us sound out-of-touch with evolving norms—especially when our own reps are pushing adjacent ideas.”
Senator Raul Trevi?o:
“Let’s separate the issues. The Republicans are chasing male voters. They’re spinning polygamy as a ‘rights issue’ for men. Our ne is different—economic empowerment, housing, protection for women.”
Vice Chair Marcus Bell:
“But let’s be real—if we attack the plural marriage bill outright, we risk alienating younger progressives who are, frankly, open to these ideas, especially if they come packaged as consent-based and decolonial.”
Chairwoman Vasquez:
“Fine. So, what are our options?”
Tanya Lin clicks to a new slide:
Democratic Messaging Options:
Reject Polygamy Framing Entirely – Emphasize monogamous equality, avoid culture war entanglement.
Draw a Hard Line: “Plural marriage undermines women's autonomy.” Use feminist opposition.
Shadow Strategy: Let Izzy/Sofia/Jasmine lead public engagement while party remains officially neutral.
Alternative Framing: Introduce “Communal Care Networks” as a female-led, non-marital, support model—contrast to GOP’s male-centric model.
Rep. Morales:
“Option 4. We let the GOP look regressive while we lead with innovation. Feminist care networks, mutual aid, optional co-housing—it sounds radical, but it keeps our hands clean.”
Senator Trevi?o nods.
“And it lets us co-opt the momentum without endorsing patriarchal baggage.”
Chairwoman Vasquez:
“Alright. No official party stance on the polygamy bill—for now. But we unch a pilot ‘Women’s Solidarity Initiative’ through willing reps. We ride the wave, but we build our own boat.”
Everyone murmurs in agreement.
The Democrats wouldn’t follow 6C.
They wouldn’t follow the GOP.
They’d carve their own path—just feminine enough to lead, just ambiguous enough to survive.
.....
Follow-up Strategy Session – Texas Democratic Party HQ, Austin
The tone in the room is sharper now. The GOP’s polygamy proposal has stirred deep ideological tensions.
Chairwoman Linda Vasquez:
“Alright team, we’ve heard the options. Now let’s formalize two fronts: one public, one cultural.”
She clicks her pen. The whiteboard behind her reads in bold:
1. DRAW A HARD LINE
"Plural Marriage Undermines Women’s Autonomy."
Tanya Lin (Comms Director):
“We lead with our roots. Feminist coalition, academic allies, survivor voices. We frame plural marriage not as ‘freedom of choice’ but as coercion normalized. We dig into power imbances—economic, emotional, legal. Think:
‘One man, two wives, half the power each.’
‘You’re not his partner—you’re his shareholder.’”
Rep. Erica Gomez (Dals) nods:
“Good. That'll resonate in suburban districts. We bring in faith-based women’s groups too—many are anti-polygamy, even if they lean conservative.”
Chairwoman Vasquez:
“This is our moral backbone. But we need an alternative path, not just rejection.”
She turns to the second whiteboard:
2. ALTERNATIVE FRAMING
“Communal Care Networks – Female-led, Non-Marital Solidarity”
Tanya Lin continues:
“This isn’t theory anymore. We propose voluntary networks for women—shared childcare, pooled resources, mutual protection, co-housing options. No marriage, no patriarchy. Just power in numbers.”
Rep. Jasmine Flores (via Zoom):
“You’re describing what we’ve already been building in the Valley. A lot of our femme group organizing looks exactly like this—sisters taking care of each other without needing a man to officiate it.”
Senator Trevi?o:
“And it puts us ahead of the culture war. GOP’s selling a 19th-century fantasy. We’re building 21st-century reality.”
Chairwoman Vasquez (smiles slightly):
“So we draw the line, then redraw the map.”
Action Pn Summary:
Public Campaign: "One Wife, One Voice" – feminist coalition ads and op-eds opposing plural marriage.
Legistive Proposal: “Women’s Solidarity Act” – grants and infrastructure for communal housing, childcare pools, support co-ops.
Messaging Tone: Firm, values-driven, progressive—while making clear we won’t follow 6C or the GOP into patriarchal models.
The meeting ends with quiet resolve.
Not just resistance—reinvention.

ANCHOR:

REPORTER (Voiceover):
"Alongside the marriage reform, Republicans also introduced a 'Femme Group Law'—supporting the creation of women-only households. Supporters cim it promotes female empowerment. Critics say it’s a repackaged version of 6C's 'Wife Femme Cuse' and a slippery slope toward religious governance."

"Democrats responded swiftly. After condemning the GOP's plural marriage pn as 'anti-woman,' they proposed their own version of the Femme Group Law—minus the marriage elements. But here’s the twist—three young Democratic state reps, Izzy Cortez, Sofia Nguyen, and Jasmine Flores, had already been pushing these ideas long before their party jumped on board.
