A Republican in the not so great state of Florida....why am I not surprised.
My favorite line in his explanation is that "he can't be anti-Semitic because he has an Israeli flag hanging in his office". WTF?

They all think that because they "love" Israel that they are a great friend of the Jews. We don't buy it.
Republicans are just a collection of single issue voters. Zero nuance ever.

I’m not even sure they’re issue-motivated anymore—or at least a notable chunk of them. It’s just a rage-fuelled spectator sport. They want to be angry, they want to express and see expressions of rage. It’s just dumb spectacle. Beyond the crudest of impulses—no immigrants! no masks!—they aren’t guided by policy or principle, certainly nothing that can’t be suspended in favour of the rage fuel.

It'll make white kids ashamed of being white to face their history. And then civilization will be destroyed. Also, liberals are snowflakes who can't handle reality.

I could be persuaded, at least in the abstract, if those who treat a racist history with nostalgia weren’t so equally ardent about denying that history and its contemporary manifestations. Free expression for me, not for thee and all that.

I think I've mentioned this before but when I was at maj's wedding we had some drinks at a nice little country pub and as we were sitting there I couldn't stop looking at the golly doll propped up on the shelf behind him. Really stuck with me, obviously.

Tough break but that's market forces for you, I'm sure the right understand that as well as anybody.

Not as much "magic of the marketplace" the last few years, huh? Now the right has found its socialist voice in calling for protection of unpopular viewpoints from the tyranny of woke corporations.
