The Christian right will never give up Israel.  Trumpies have already given up the free market.  Fuentes is a clown.

You don't think the all those protests across the world hold any water?  What are they doing if not trying to stop a genocide?  I don't understand.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

A bunch already have.  Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Margery Taylor Greene.  Half of them think Israel killed Charlie Kirk. The tide is turning.

46% of Republicans sympathize more with Israelis than Palestinians.  So less than half.  And Republicans, for the most part, don't like Arab Muslims at all...

I don't know who Candace Owens is.  Tucker Carlson and MTG I would not slot in the Christian right.

Margery Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson are a Christian nationalists.  Candace Owens is a popular podcaster that worked for the Daily Wire I think, but got fired over the Gaza war.  Very popular.

It's not 2004 anymore, the right is turning on Israel.

Tucker Carlson is not an evangelical; he's a yuppie Republican that turned to the Pat Buchanan wing. Candace Owen is a full-fledged conspiricist, she recently converted to Catholicism (?) Doesn't seem much religious content to her "thought".  MTG has a New Agey background, she poses as Christian to get elected in Georgia.

That said Raz, I basically agree with you on the broader point.  GOP now split between the philo and antisemites and the latter are gaining ground fast. 
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.

You don't know? Lucky fucker.

She is a nutty conspiracy theorist right wing black lady who thinks Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Total weirdo.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

You don't have to evangelical to be part of the Christian Right.  Most of them only have most basic concept of Christianity in the first place.  I doubt many are particularly orthodox in their beliefs.  But they are Christian Nationalists.  They are not so much united by what they belief in, but what they exclude.  Muslims, Hindus, less-white Catholics, and Jews...

We are seeing a seismic shift going on right under our feet.  I thought thing were bad under Bush and the Iraq war.  What's happening now is so much worse.  But Palestine is gaining allies... We are Molotov-Ribbentroping our way to a Free Palestine.

Speaking of MTG, she just quit Congress after Trump called her a traitor.   :huh:  I don't understand the world anymore.
