@C_Stroop You have to read the back story of Onward Christian Soldiers. Written by Sullivan of Gilbert and Sullivan for a school full of elementary age students who had to march across the village for daily chapel. Not quite the Crusades.
@kkdumez In an era of negative polarization, the fact that MTG is against these things makes these thing wrong in and of itself, at least for some people. People don't consider the merits of political proposals, but take their cues from who favors and who opposes them.
@SaysDana An odd strategy designed to meet the desires of Trump alone. The Right’s hold on the Presidency is the most precarious of all the branches. They may not win another Presidency in years. Why would they want to concentrate power there?

@AoDespair@samyoungman@CNN It is a rightwing strategy to appeal to young men by stressing the bodies of those they admire -- see the comparison of Joe Rogan and Peter Hotez, the mythification of Trump's supposed fitness. Putin on horseback. Now RFK,Jr. gets the Nazi homoerotic treatment.
