Who’s more representative of the future of the GOP?

So does being elected to Congress somehow mysteriously transform somebody who was previously a monstrous fucking harpy into somebody we should all respect?
Because, I have to say, in my experience people normally become worse once they're elected.

“Since elected” seems like a bit of special pleading, doesn’t it?
No, it isnt.
I want you to consider some of the things said or done by Omar, AOC, Sheila Jackson Lee, Bang -a-Wang and others, who have not had any committee assignments taken away.
Greene has not done anything since she has been sworn in, that should generate the media attention or the rise of Cancel Culture in the House. It's unfair and quite simply, un-American.

“Jews control the world” theories don’t have a benign history.
identity politics won't either. When that history is written.
Isn't a "Jews control the world" theory a form of identity politics?

Yes. That was my apparently poorly stated point.

Sorry ( a stereotypical Canadianism) Horace, but with all due respect, I simply can't resist a little history lesson for you and maybe a few others on this topic:

I was raised in America, Renauda. You read about it.
Their vision for America was a cocktail of white supremacy, fascist ideology and American patriotism.
It's such bullshit. Attributing such hatred to us. I don't appreciate it.

We do control the world. That’s why it’s so fucked up.

Really? On the other hand the US also produced John Reed and Max Eastman. Look them up, John Reed in particular - Wiki's your friend.
But if it's any consolation things here were not much better as far as right wing nutters and anti-Semites:

I probably don't agree with whatever ideas are being said by whatever people you are quoting. Get specific or get lost, or, better yet, get better friends.
