It is a disgrace, though it comes to mind that Marjorie Taylor Green does say this kind of thing about Jews with little consequence. She recently called Ben Shapiro an invader over the rumor he might take over TP USA.

A disturbingly large enough portion of Americans seem fine with the Christian fascism that's been fermenting in our country for a while now.

it's funny you mentioned the 1870's since i took in a youtube documentary of the story of the religious right since the fouding in this country. i was surprised to learn that americans in the south weren't very religious to begin with

I recall her saying stuff about Jewish donors but has she also said no Jew should be in congress?

Why do we even have Christians in congress?

Oh right cause they're clearly not real Christians so it doesn't count.

Laura Loomer is a shit stain alleging that other people are stains.

I think it's also the thing that we act like republicans have no agency. They're like a fire or a disease - they're just awful, innately, and there's nothing we can do about it. Might as well get mad about the tide.

This is nonsense. They have agency. They choose to be horrible. It's just that too few people are willing to hold them to any standards.
