    This lady is always finding ways to make me shake my head. She appears to be the same bullshit wrapped up in the “old” GOP shell.

      My boss is a huge Trump supporter and was just saying to a customer that someone “delivered shit” to Nancy Pelosi’s house and smeared it on her front door.

      These fucking people don’t want to be Americans anymore. It’s time we oblige them. Do you know how fast the South would be a third world country (half of it already is, see: Tennessee) without money coming in from the federal government and the “Marxist” States they love to hate on?

      Southern states keep begging for it though. And I, for one, say let them have it. Then flatly refuse to let them rejoin.

        Transgender person in the south here. I already can’t legally work in the career I have a degree for. An nb kid just got fucking murdered this week for being queer at school.

        Unless there’s some kind of refugee program, people like me would just die. Texas is subpoenaing hospitals in Washington to try to make lists of trans people. Letting the South secede would be a fairly quick blood orgy.

      Every once in a while she reminds me that there are no good republicans. I keep convincing myself that she’s but so bad, then she does something like this.

        Same - There are so many times that I think, okay, maybe there is a hope for a moderate branch of the GOP. Here is someone who expresses nuance and common sense on a regular basis. But at a core level, once she comes down to any actual statement of policy, she ends up in exactly the same place as all the whackos. So does it really matter how reasonably and nuanced the road was to get to the terrible conclusion?
