That’s some serious defeatism you got going there. Not sure why you would even try to win.

Sometimes I wonder how many of his youngest sisters are actually his daughters. That whole family is so skeevy.

Ben Shapiro exists. Your argument is invalid.

Has the average Republican realized that they are evil? That they are the bad guys?

They’ve always believed themselves to be god’s elect and therefore infallible, even when sinning by their own metrics.

Oh, they aren’t sinning, since they are forgiven… they can sin all they want, as long as they go to church on Sunday & maybe on Wednesday, just to make sure.

@Shuck

They can’t plausibly pretend to care about the things they pretended to care about, before because they’ve made it clear what they really care about is white supremacy and authoritarianism.

I don’t think they care what The Others thnk about them, anyway; but they know the value of good PR & still make the same noises they always did.

Of course, that applies to all of us…

Yeah, but I don’t think outsiders are as likely to buy the piety act, now. Or pretend to buy it, out of politeness. I think previously, evangelicals could say, “We believe in X” and that went largely unchallenged in mainstream discourse because it’s not polite to call someone a liar, but now they’ve revealed what they really care about, and it ain’t “X.”
