@RadioFreeTom@TheAtlantic With respect from Texas, I think you get this wrong. White Dems consistently misunderstand that many minorities are socially conservative. It is about Dem policies that alienate a large swath of working class voters.
Haven’t been on this website in months. It’s actually much worse than I remembered. I wonder if it’s actually gotten worse, or if I gradually get desensitized by spending time and attention here.
@joeycochran I think it has to do with July 4th. Our national identity is intertwined with violence as a means to a purely political end. Can U.S. Evangelicals see that the American Revolution was unjustifiable through the lens of Christians ethics? Never.
New: Far-right GOP activist Jonathan Stickland hosted white supremacist activist Nick Fuentes Friday at his office in Fort Worth.
Texas Republican Party leader Matt Rinaldi was also seen briefly entering the building, though he denied meeting Fuentes.

@matttebbe Yes, but there’s a difference when people say, “jihad and Antisemitism are caused by colonialism; so Israel and the West shouldn’t be surprised.” Antisemitism is ascending across the World right now. That’s a fact. And it has nothing to do with Colonialism.
@matttebbe I agree that many are Americans are ignorant about the evils of colonialism. But you’re saying colonialism is the cause for the Antisemitism and racism. That’s not true.
@matttebbe I respectfully disagree. They are not a response to injustice. This framing is wrong. Racism and antisemitism has nothing to do with justice. Period.
