Ongoing US GOP Debacle Thread: Seditious Republicans march toward authoritarianism


It's such a weird case study for separating Church and State. Pubs are basically asserting that state sponsored religion isn't representative of their personal religious beliefs. It's pretty much par for the course though, as conservatives have usually been more about the separation of your church and state than the principle in and of itself.
 
 
Seems like people afraid of being assassinated would do something about guns. I do respect their fears considering some did survive a mass shooting attempt.
 
hTop Republican In California Senate Race Called For Government ‘Free From Jews’

According to RightWingWatch, Little stated in a campaign video posted earlier this week that he “woke up to the Jewish question and dedicated my life to exposing these Jews that control our country.”

He also has written on Gab, a Twitter-like platform popular with white nationalists, that he is in favor of “a government that makes counter-Semitism central to all aims of the state,” which would be “free from Jews.”

Another Gab message called for a database of Jews because “when Israel is destroyed and the Zionist Occupied Governments of the west are overthrown, we’ll have to ensure that they aren’t hiding among us to subvert us again….There’s only 1 lawful punishment for high treason” — the death penalty.

That's a campaign video. Not some grainy video from 10 years ago unearthed in oppo research. That's a video he thinks will help him win the Republican primary.

It stands to reason that with a record number of candidates running that some would be nightmares, but this is a specific recurring theme in the Republican party. Are there many Dem candidates this crazy? Has anyone challenged the white supremacist running for Paul Ryan's seat?

The equivalent (if you want to call it that) would be a pure, unadulterated communist coming out and running as a Democrat, and no, I haven't seen any Democrats that crazy.
 
There’s not a Democrat “equivalent” to running on an anti-Jewish platform.
 
Blankenship slams ‘Cocaine Mitch’ in anti-McConnell ad

Blankenship, who spent a year in prison following the 2010 explosion at his Upper Big Branch Mine that killed 29 workers, offers no context for the jab. But he may be referring to a 2014 report in the liberal Nation magazine that drugs were once found aboard a shipping vessel owned by the family of McConnell’s wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.

Blankenship has gone after McConnell in startlingly personal ways. During a recent interview with POLITICO, Blankenship said McConnell “has a lot of connections in China,” and that Chao is “from China, so we have to be really concerned that we are in truth” putting America’s interests first.

McConnell’s political operation has moved aggressively to block Blankenship’s path. Operatives close to the majority leader, convinced that Blankenship would lose to Democrat Joe Manchin in the November general election, have launched a super PAC that has spent about $1.3 million on TV ads attacking the coal baron.

Ahhhmmm, have you forgotten about Barak Obama already? For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and Obama's Stalinism begat the current Republican party. These people are just trying to take their country back.
 
yep, how should good old normal ‘mericans respond to a dark-skinned foreigner Muslim commie in the White House for EIGHT years!
 
This guy is here to replace Cocaine Mitch. "Cocaine Mitch... McConnell?" Yes, Cocaine Mitch McConnell.

Anyway, watch this, you won't regret it.

 
The background on "cocaine Mitch":

“Mitch McConnell and his family have extensive ties to China,” the Blankenship campaign’s news release says. “His father-in-law who founded and owns a large Chinese shipping company has given Mitch and his wife millions of dollars over the years. The company was implicated recently in smuggling cocaine from Colombia to Europe. Hidden aboard a company ship carrying foreign coal was $7 million dollars of cocaine and that is why we’ve deemed him ‘Cocaine Mitch.’”

But of course, like most Pub propaganda, it's practically entirely made up; despite how badly I wish it were true.
 
Also, Republican candidate Don Blankenship everyone:

"In fact, Blankenship spent a year in prison because a jury convicted him of conspiracy to violate federal safety standards. A 2010 explosion at a coal mine owned by Massey Energy, where Blankenship was chief executive, killed 29 workers at the Upper Big Branch Mine in West Virginia. A state investigation found that Massey Energy’s negligence was the main reason for “the faulty ventilation system, the inadequate application of rock dust and the equipment failures” that caused the blast."
