The GOP has nothing to offer most people, really, so they endlessly distract with bullshit: “illegals”, trans, gays, concern-trolling over crime (but only of a certain kind - insurrection and coup-plotting and pretty much anything Ronald McDonald does - is fine in their eyes), etc…
You’d have to be a true dumbass to think that Ronald McDonald GAF about “faith, values”. I’m sure many of his base fit the bill.
However, I bet a fair amount of cynical schemers and plotters hope that he’ll bring about their Gilead, anyway, along with creepy weirdos like Mike Johnson.
The top GOP consultant needs to be reminded that what Roodles did was one of the very worst crimes. Just because he’s a rich white Republican doesn’t mean it isn’t.
These tools probably actually believe this country was founded on “the” ten commandments, even if the secular founding and the freedom FROM religion flies right in the fact. The first of “the” ten commandments and the First Amendment come into conflict right away. Their silly fanfic has their god Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh declaring there is to be no other god but him. Meanwhile, my First Amendment means I don’t have to give a flying fuck what they say their god says.
The typical horseshoe stuff is definitely in play with RFK. The usual crank stuff like vaccine denialism, not to mention people with a chip on their shoulder thinking they have to “send a message” and have “let the world burn” type of attitudes…people that are so Enlightened ™ that they’d rather everyone learn some kind of lesson rather than accept that the two adult choices we actually have are: Donnie or Biden.
Those are the choices.
The election system we have doesn’t care about anyone’s theories or lessons or messages they want to send. A lot of RFK/Stein type of voters haven’t grown up enough to realize this.
