This is literally frightening to read that any American politician would think this. I don't see how any moderate R could support this train of thought.

There's no such thing as a moderate R. They voted for Johnson.

The key is realizing that moderate Republicans don't oppose evangelical wackos either (and Dems, at best, try to have it both ways)

Moderate R are an endangered and disappearing species. And even if you find one, you'd be safe to assume they're "moderate" rather than moderate.

Do they even exist? Bacon voted for Johnson.

Lots of them think it. The more frightening aspect is the willingness to say it out loud.

Remember when Cheetoh-Man said things out loud and they loved him for it. Eight years later, they feel emboldened to do all kinds of shit that wouldn't have been on the radar back then. We're in trouble.
