hang on there… you posted murder rates by state as evidence Desantis is a bad governor. CA has higher murder rates. So why isn’t Newsom worse?

and growth rates are much higher in FL than CA…

Little difference between DeathSantis or Trump

The fact that the GOP is trying to sell DeSantis as “Trump, but smarter” should be a giant red flag.

Ron DeSantis appointed a QAnon conspiracy theorist, who believes there was fraud in the 2020 election & Trump' won. He's Florida's new Secretary of State, a position that oversees elections.

Ted Cruz gets heckled and harassed by a right winger at TX State GOP Convention, who calls him a coward and a globalist, asks him how he can like Trump after he called his wife ugly, then finished with Cancun.

Ted is among those who created this monster.
Chummed the waters.
Whipped the mob into a frenzy.
Told them to “fight like hell!!”
Told them that violence was not only ok, it was EXPECTED if they didn’t want to “lose their freedoms”.

the far-right Proud Boys crashed a children's drag queen storytelling event and shouted homophobic and transphobic slurs, in what Alameda, Calif.,

Who inspired the idea to attack drag queens

Who’s the leader and who’s the followers?
. Ron or the proud boys

so it’s “attacking drag queens”, to say they shouldn’t do their thing in front of little
kids?

i don’t think america agrees with you on that.

there’s a reason why bedrooms have doors. How about we stop shoving certain sexualities in everyone’s face, and keep
it private like it’s supposed to be.

I was pro gay marriage before you i bet ( because i was pro gay marriage when Hilary and Obama were adamantly opposed to it, which we all know means you were also opposed to it), just don’t shove it in my face, leave me out of it. Consenting adults can do whatever they want between themselves, just have some modesty about it.

Your so deep in denial it’s scary

That you think it’s just people
saying they shouldn’t do their thing in front of little
kids?

And conservatives are protecting children from Groomers at Disney saving transgender 5 year olds from abusive liberal parents

Love how you show your support of gays

just don’t shove it in my face, and stay in the closet

i don’t think anyone wants me shoving my heterosexuality in their face. and i don’t consider myself a victim because of that. having a speck of
modesty isn’t the same as getting shoved back into the closet. not even close.

where were the charges that hilary and obama were bigots when they opposed gay marriage very recently


it’s ok when they do it.

the 10 states with the fastest growth rates:

Idaho Is 1st

Florida is 9th on the list

But Fla is a conservatives utopia brought to you By Ron D and anyone moving there is escaping liberalism according to Jim

well it’s a bit easier for a teeny state to have a high growth rate, right?

how many states with the top ten growth rates, are blue? half?

Texas GOP goes full MAGA at 2022 convention

the new party platform would include declaring homosexuality “an abnormal lifestyle choice,

Texas Republicans approved a resolution declaring that President Biden "was not legitimately elected,

The platform also calls for the abolishment of the 1965 Voting Rights Act

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who has been taking part in bipartisan gun control negotiations, was booed by the crowd

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) and members of his staff were physically attacked at the convention, with the assailants saying Crenshaw should be hung and calling him "eyepatch


The Fort Worth chapter of the Log Cabin Republicans, a national Republican LGBTQ organization, was excluded from the event after they were not allowed to set up a booth at the convention


Keep thinking the GOP is the GOP of old

I’m pretty sure you don’t know what tolerance really means.

Like wayne, i know for a certain that i was pro gay marriage before you. I know this, because i was pro gay marriage when obama was adamantly opposed to it, and we all know it’ll be a cold day before you ever disagreed with him on anything.

I’ll tolerate that all day long and happily explain why. But i don’t want it shoved in my face every time i turn around, i dont want to see parades celebrating any kind of sexuality, and i really don’t want my little kids seeing it.

There’s a big, big difference between tolerating something and celebrating something. I don’t think anyone’s homosexuality is any more of an accomplishment than my heterosexuality.

What is a cause for celebration, is that we’ve all evolved from the very recent close-minded opinions of people like Hilary and Obama ( and nearly everyone in the GOP obviously).

The fact that one person is attracted to another person, isn’t anything to celebrate or be proud of, it’s something that’s nobody else’s business.

Better be careful, you might think your contrarian views would be acceptable

In his new post on Truth Social, Gavin Newsom posts a clip that CA had a higher GDP growth than any red state last year, and the Top 3 were all blue states.

so murder rates by state matter to criticize Desantis, but the fact that murder rates are higher in CA, doesnt say anything about Newsom? Will you ever explain why that is? I’m curious.

because it’s not looking to be an average midterm shift.

you think this is just going to be average?

all the polls, the elections that have happened recently, all points to a massacre.

If the gop gets over 40% of the hispanic vote, the left will get almost wiped out. That’s a very very big if, but piling suggests it’s possible. who knows if polling is accurate.

In their platform, the Texas Republicans invoked “God” or the “Creator” 18 times and “sovereignty” or sovereign power 24 times. And the word “democracy”? Only once — in reference to China.

Guess your off to Texas

Texas GOP wants to vote on whether to secede from US

If you’re speaking for MAGA, you might be right

The January 6 Select Committee just unveiled footage of RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel saying that the Republican National Committee was “helping” the Trump campaign to illegally assemble fake electors to steal the election from American voters.

Everything Trump touches dies

The Faux is strong in you.

I don't think people realize just how insanely dangerous it is that right wing media can literally make up a story and it is taken as fact by millions.

This is how Nazism rose. It's the essence of totalitarianism. Orwell was more concerned about it than war itself.

Just like the Truth you have a loose meaning of Freedom in a constitutional sense

Texas Republicans version of freedom is masked in oppression of those who won’t get in line and march to the same music !


Let them leave . It will be just another 3rd world nation and back to being part of Mexico in 10 years .

Hate to see any state go but since they seem to hate democracy so much maybe it is for the better.

I assume that since it will be all R states, my taxes will go down now that we don't have to carry them.

Texas Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
