14. He has made Hate socially acceptable

Mon Jul 7, 2025, 10:41 AM

There are so many Republicans in my church and they all have a great love for TSF. They had no problem elections a 34 count felon to lead the Party of Law And Order. They know he has no morals, yet they insist "God put him there". They watched the debt ceiling go up by $5T and completely forgot that this came from the "Party of Fiscal Responsibility". It's all about the fact that hate is once again a popular item, just like it was in the 50s. This is the "good old days" that they have been dreaming about.
