It’s almost as if the GOP has spent 40-plus years running politicians who appealed to Xtianist religious fanatics. Surprise, Republicans!

And yet, no one in the GOP caucus will throw his fascist ass out of the speakership. They might be “mad” but they’re okay with it, because the “Democrats are worse”. Fucking assholes.
Fucking coward.

i dunno. i do think the government should turn to us for guidance, and not the other way around. ( and maybe god should be consulting us, too.

There aren’t any Republicans who aren’t conservative. Not anymore. There’s the old school Reagan conservatives, and then there’s the MAGA fascist wing.

I’ve read that some Evangelical men “admit” (boast) that they look at porn to show that they are virile man with healthy sexual appetites.
