(11,766 posts)That's the real bottom line here. I have many conservative friends at my church, and that's all it comes down to for them.
Party of Family Values? Not anymore - not when you voted for a man who's divorced 3 times, publicly cheating on each wife. Then there's the Access Hollywood tape; a fine example of how to behave with your daughters. Hmmm, maybe that topic is off the table now.
How about the Party of Law And Order? Why would these people vote for someone with 34 felony convictions? Who's an adjudicated rapist? Nope, can't use that topic anymore.
How about the Party of Fiscal Responsibility? This is the party that has run up The Debt way beyond what the Democrats do each and every time they come in to power. TSF has ballooned the debt in his first term to more than double any other president. Guess the debt preaching isn't going to work either.
So what else is left as Chief Talking Points for the GOP? Nothing. They have become The Party of Whatever Donald Wants. That is the official strategy of the RNC. No shit.
What does TSF want? Hate, revenge, and more hate. Hate of immigrants, LGBTQ, women, Hispanic families, Democrats, foreigners of any kind. Basically hate of everyone who is not old white male straight and really fucking wealthy. So that is what the GOP offers to all my Christian friends - hate and making it socially acceptable.
Have I missed anything here?
