Cut off one’s nose to spite one’s face. Great idea.

 

Christian nationalism, a belief that the United States was founded as a white, Christian nation and that there is no separation between church and state, is gaining steam on the right.

Prominent Republican politicians have made the themes critical to their message to voters in the run up to the 2022 midterm elections. Doug Mastriano, the Republican nominee for governor in Pennsylvania, has arguedthat America is a Christian nation and that the separation of church and state is a “myth.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia hard-liner, declared: “We need to be the party of nationalism and I’m a Christian, and I say it proudly, we should be Christian Nationalists.” Amid a backlash, she doubled down and announced she would start selling “Christian Nationalist” shirts. Now Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis seems to be flirting with Christian nationalist rhetoric, as well.

That's what I was thinking....

 

Joe Biden supports Israel, so Muslims are going to vote for the guy that wanted to ban all of them....:classic_rolleyes:

"OP Governor Ron DeSantis often talks about what he calls “the free state of Florida” but Florida Republican Attorney General Ashley Moody has declared the Sunshine State’s public schools, including its libraries, do not exist to promote the free exchange of ideas, but rather, to “convey the government’s message.”

 

In a legal brief, the State of Florida argues it has a First Amendment right to remove LGBTQ books, or any book, from public schools and libraries, USA Today’s Tallahassee Democrat reports.

“It’s a contention that First Amendment experts and advocates call extreme and chilling. But the state maintains the books on school shelves represent protected government speech. Public school libraries are ‘a forum for government speech,’ it says, not a ‘forum for free expression.'”

The far lefties on Twitter just realized that Kelsey Grammer is a Hollywood Republican and isn't one of them and boy are they having a fit about it.  They're tossing personal and professional insults about him fast and furious.

 

All the stuff he's done, and being Republican is what they are mad about?

Brit Hume Says Trump Is ‘More Likely To Drive the Republicans to a Defeat’ Next Year Than Become a Dictator

https://www.mediaite.com/politics/brit-hume-says-trump-is-more-likely-to-drive-the-republicans-to-a-defeat-next-year-than-become-a-dictator/

 

 

You may want to tap the brakes on Brit Hume if you're a staunch liberal.  He plays on both sides of the fence and uses other's words to do it...

 

 

 

 

As for the Trump quote, Nikki Haley is the only one besides Trump with even a small chance of winning the general election.  That's because she'll garner some identity politics votes from the left.  Her problem is being able to rally the entirety of the Republican base.

 

Trump is the only candidate that they have that will excite the Republican base and will bring them to the polls in large enough numbers.

 

There are plenty of Republicans in Washington that do not want to see Trump win, but they will form a line and kiss his hind quarters just like last time if he does.

I don't expect celebrities to be good people, but you're going to be taking some heat when you publicly endorse fascism and terrorism.

He likes the orange guy.  Tens of millions of people do and will vote for him.  They aren't all terrorist loving people.
