Except no, you absolutely need to roll back laws, you need to deal with the control social media has over the discussion, with how the education system is structured, with how immigration is in the United States as all of these pose absolute existential threats to the ability to have America look remotely how you want it to be.You don't have to do the exact same thing the enemy does to fight back against them. All we have to do, is actually uphold the laws and protections that are there. That is all that has needed to be done this entire time.
Abraham is said to be the father of many nations not one, it says that God divorces both Israel and Judea, these are two different nations following the split, Judaism comes directly from the Pharisee sect, rather than any of the other disparate Hebrew groups. And again, the Talmud and Rabbinic Judaism is formed post dating Christianity. The Israelites were the Israelites, the Jews come specifically out of Judea/Judah, Jeremiah talks about how God as divorced the people of both kingdoms, Jesus says that those outside of the land of Israel will be sitting with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham in heaven while those within will find themselves in hell.pretty off base though. Yes, the Old Testament is about Abraham and his descendants being chosen by God, becoming the people of Israel, and the history of those people and prophecies regarding them. I'm curious what else you could have in mind that the Old Testament is about.
Not the case. Actually, Trump lost LGBT votes from Romney who was perceived as a more socially conservative candidate who was against Gay Marriage while Trump wasn’t and made up exactly zero ground over 4 years of shilling from many LGBT pundits that have found themselves on the right. Meanwhile there were gains made in the black and Latino community, who are in higher opposition the LGBT issues and more socially conservative. What typically keeps them from voting is the hands off government free market politics that run through, other than the propaganda that R is all super racist and hates them. As such, economic populism and taking up positions that are about doing what’s best for the American people and not large corporations and special interests and social conservatism seems to be a better play to get more minority votes, who again, polling shows are often less in favor of LGBT issues than whites, rather than trying to appeal to the LGBT.Conservative Christians will probably never vote Democrat, even if they're abandoned by the GOP. Meanwhile, every LGBT voter that doesn't vote Republican will vote Democrat. Therefore, from a purely utilitarian perspective, it makes sense to side with the latter on certain issues over the former, because it would result in a net gain of votes.
Not the case lol. As I outlined the LGBT voted more for Romney who was opposed to gay marriage and more socially con than Trump who said it was a done deal, and he made up literally zero ground with them from 2016-2020. Opposition to gay marriage runs strongly through both socially conservative blacks and Hispanics who still vote democrat. You’d almost certainly make up more votes among them than lost by not LGBT shilling which makes up a tiny fraction of the GOP base provided you also go for economic populism which is more broadly appealing to these groups as well. I’m sorry, the strategic argument of “you must shill for the LGBT and drop social conservatism” doesn’t pan out, especially if you can just get enough of that sector of the right to opt not to vote provided that it goes that way. Shilling for the LGBT has not remotely panned out well, it’s a tiny fraction of Trump voters who will vote based on opposition to gay marriage, there is a vastly larger potential voting block where ground has been made up among blacks and hispanics who oppose gay marriage and are more socially conservative. And the same applies really. Are you gonna vote D even if you get 95% of what you want except for gay marriage? It floats the same exact way lol, and given your voting block you like is still way smaller and hasn’t shown actual appeal or viability whereas the other has, I don’t see how your strategy is remotely valid.If Conservative Christians cannot share a party with the LGBs, then that's their problem.
Because the Libertarian and Fiscal Conservatives have no problem with us being in the party or tent, because they know the Far-Left is driving a lot of the sane ones away from the Dems.
So you can either compromise and accept us into the party, or throw your religious tantrums and lose out of the swing voters we represent.
Master Piece Cake shop was a fucked up thing, in that they were trying to be forced to cater the wedding (not just make a cake as the narrative often says), but that does not justify going after LGBs who vote R.
You can have a functional party with a wide ranges of views represented, or you can have religious purity in the party that makes it useless on the national stage; pick one.
