@NathanDallon@SteveDeaceShow@theblaze I think the Never-Trumpers just see Trump, and they become incapable of actual rational thought. Their mind is reduced to just rearranging various bigotries and attaching Trump to them.
At this point, the Never-Trumper is a pitiable being. Always on the wrong side of morality.
@NathanDallon@SteveDeaceShow@theblaze There was never any point where MAGA was anything but issue driven. To assume anything else is a fundamental misunderstanding of MAGA.
It's fascinating that after 10 years, Never-Trumpers are still somehow oblivious to the motivations of MAGA. Is it willful ignorance at scale?
@NathanDallon@SteveDeaceShow@theblaze Both were endorsed by members of the Trump administration. The candidate that Trump endorsed very late in the campaign lost by less than 0.9%.
Are the Never-Trumper losers this desperate for a "win"?
@DylanBurns1776 Both sides of the conflict seem to have a deep skepticism of Protestant Evangelical missionaries are evangelists. From conversations I've had, they (Russians and Ukrainians) both seem to equate Evangelical missionary with "western spy". Not true, but that's the stereotype.
@DylanBurns1776@sleepy_devo Greater transparency and accountability in elections is supposed to be a good thing, remember?
The pushback to voters ID is 100% partisan.
@AlexPolmer Not true at all. Muslims and Jews both deny the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus.
They claim to worship the same God, but they don't actually worship God. They deny Him at every opportunity.
Since I’m going to be hearing this for the next 6 months as a Texas voter, let me answer the question:
“You would vote for an adulterer over James Talarico? That’s not very Christian.”
Here’s the truth: I would rather vote for almost anyone else who is going to at least advocate for conservative *policies* over a literal heretic who wears my faith like a skin suit, advocates for policies that harm children, endorses immorality and generally harm society.
Ken Paxton has personal baggage. I don’t deny that. But Talarico has plenty too — and he openly mocks God’s law and treats Jesus as a political mascot all while pushing a radical far-left agenda that would be a disaster for my state.
You see, I’m an adult. I do not expect those who are seeking political office to be my moral superiors or even trustworthy. They are tools to be used to do the least amount of damage via policy.
I wish more pastors and men who live godly lives were running. I really do. But the options we get are what they are.
Paxton supports secure borders, law enforcement, lower taxes, unleashing American energy, the Second Amendment, just to name a few.
Talarico supports unlimited abortion, trans-ing children, higher taxes, government-run “healthcare,” and is incredibly comfortable blaspheming the word of God.
I’m not voting for a priest. I’m voting for an imperfect person to represent my interests. That’s how it works.
You’re not going to guilt trip Texans into supporting a looney tunes candidate like Talarico. Paxton will win by 5+.
It’s about policy, not personality.
@NathanDallon No, it shows the political class that the voters have certain principles that WILL NOT be compromised.
Decades of compromise got us into this position. It's going to take voters standing on principle (like pro-life) to get us out of this mess.
