The Battle For The Future Of The GOP

Speaking to a deceased loved one or friend isn't weird. But the way she framed it, especially considering they weren't partners or bffs is also odd (God and Charlie).

Keep going, you are doing great.

What I find confusing is some of you post the most inconsequential things. Then when one of a few of us push back a little all of a sudden it's a rush to virtue signal or attempt to make us feel like idiots. I find this especially confusing coming from you as you represent yourself as someone who wants an explanation for everything. You haven't even entered the fray to give your feelings you just find some sort of satisfaction in trolling mine.

Weird

That's only because your responses are so ludicrous. Keep telling us how Catholics pray to the Virgen and therefore it is normal for Megyn Kelly to pray to to our Lord and Savior Charlie Kirk.

People do that sort of thing whether you like it or not. It's certainly not something they should be bullied over.


I'll take a break for the basketball game and leave you to your echo chamber.

ok thanks bro. Let me know when you've had enough time to respond.

Also, Catholics don't pray to non-saints like Charlie Kirk. But I think you are on the right side of this issue.

Saying that Catholics don’t pray to non-saints isn’t saying much as there are over 10K catholic saints.

Right - so why the need to go outside to unsainted and non-Catholic Charlie Kirk?

Of any member of a religious sect and more directly, the LDS faith. I would think would be less obtuse about this since people tend to think we pray to “Old Joe Smith”.

This seems a little down the line of issues with her. Her speaking of suffering and supporting the ilk's of Tucker and Owen’s is much more disturbing..

[Jeff Lebowski]

It was a dumb thing for Megyn Kelly to say. But she has been saying so many really stupid things lately, that this one is way down the list.

less obtuse? I think that makes the criticism sharper.

Not really. I find it trivial and stupid. If you wish to make this a major thing. By all means. You and others just protesting makes it come across another petty topic that most shrug off.

protesting? I am surprised you brought the topic back up. the rest of us were discussing this over a week ago. I thought we had shrugged it off.

It's like one of those self-contained science experiments. Start a group chat with young GOP leaders in Florida, wait a few weeks, and then see the results:

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s Republican Party started a group chat primarily for conservative students last fall — and within three weeks it was filled with racist slurs, someone wrote dozens of ways of violently killing Black people and the chat was renamed after what one member described as “Nazi heaven.” In WhatsApp conversations leaked to the Miami Herald, participants used variations of the n-word more than 400 times, regularly described women as “whores,” used slurs to talk about Jewish and gay people and mused about Hitler’s politics...

The conversations included some of the campus’ top conservative leaders: the county GOP secretary, FIU’s Turning Point USA chapter president and the former College Republicans recruitment chair...

The group chat members — which included some women — also frequently discussed sex, sometimes describing women as “whores” and at one point using the k-word, a slur for Jewish people, to describe women they avoid. Gonzalez said, “You can f–k all the [k-word] you want. Just don’t marry them and procreate.” Ian Valdes, the Turning Point USA chapter president, responded, “I would def not marry a Jew.” A few minutes later, Valdes changed the group chat’s name from one that included a slur for people with disabilities, “Uber [r-word] Yapping,” to “Gooning in Agartha.” Gooning is a slang term for male masturbation. Agartha, a mythical white civilization promoted by the Nazi politician Heinrich Himmler, has been repopularized by the young online right. Gonzalez described Agartha to the group chat as, “Nazi heaven sort of,” and Valdes explained it, “esoteric nazism essentially.”

The guy who started it, a third year law student, claimed ignorance of it all and was shocked, shocked, at what everyone else was saying. But he conveniently deleted a few of his own texts before the Herald got a hold of them.

I am absolutely not shocked that a Turning Point USA chapter president would be racist.

Isn't this the second leak of republicans working in volunteering in politics saying and sharing a bunch of racist memes?
