[QUOTE="Evan Jellicoe, post: 75077340, member: 389657"] It seems common around here for people who don't like the OP's point of view to re-route the discussion instead of answering it directly. So let's get back on topic by re-stating the entire OP: Quite a provocative WAPO op-ed piece 2 days ago by Michael Gerson. Who's an evangelical Christian and life-long conservative Republican. And a very perceptive man. "[I]For a glimpse of what the total absence of faith and character looks like, see the Republican Party of Texas. In the aftermath of Floyd’s death, a dozen elected leaders of the GOP wrote or retweeted racist memes and conspiracy theories. Comal County Republican Party Chair Sue Gafford Piner propagated the idea that philanthropist George Soros is funding a race war. Bexar County GOP Chair Cynthia Brehm suggested that Floyd's death was staged to hurt President Trump’s reelection chances. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller wrote that the civil rights protesters are “domestic terrorists who were organized and paid for by George Soros... This is not the rejection of “political correctness”; it is the success of white supremacy in the Texas Republican Party.
