    You're in denial and making up any excuse to avoid facing the facts.

    Confirmation bias is a comfortable blanket for you, isn't it?

    Well how you live with yourself proclaiming to be "pro-women's rights" and voting for Joe Biden is beyond anyone's comprehension. Coin flip?

    If you vote Joe... you're voting against the MeToo movement that was against sexual predators that you "claim" to be against. lol. Love to hear your rebuttal. I'm assuming you'll make a Trump remark and then gladly vote for your rapist.

    The Republican party under Trump has little resemblance to the traditional Republican party which is why so many prominent Republicans have left the party or are fighting to excise Trump and save the Republican party.

    Everyone has a price, give me $4,000,000 and I will make a video slamming Trump. Now I will still vote for him anyway but that is my price to be an *******. Any takers? Someone get Soros on the phone.

    A friend sent this to me, and I thought I'd share.

    Adventuresome morning today! Mary Ann and I went to First Watch in Richardson for a quick breakfast but it was not to be.

    First, we were approached by a manager who let us know that customers were very distressed by my shirt and that children might see it. I expressed deep sympathies and let her know that explaining “grab ‘em by the *****” and golden showers to my daughter was equally unpleasant. A Latino woman checking me out tells me she loves my shirt and I thanked her.

    Again as we were being seated she expressed that a particular group of customers was suffering due to my indescribable poor taste. I replied that I did not see the problem.

    As we are seated two African-American workers individually tell me how cool the shirt is. One of them states that the people did not tell their server - a person of color - their complaint. They requested the manager, a white person, to complain to. I personally did not witness this but that is what I was told.

    Our drinks are served and our order is taken.

    Then one of the cooks comes to the table and very apologetically explains the owners have been called and we are being asked to leave. We ask to tip our server for occupying her table, get drinks to go and leave. One table of white people applauds.

    We are stopped in the parking lot by one of the African American servers who had stopped to comment on the shirt. If I understand correctly, he was quitting the job on the spot over us being asked to leave. He told us: “you should hear these people asking not to be seated near Muslims.”

    So we get in the car and start to leave ...

    ... as the Richardson police pull up outside. I stop the car and ask the officer if she is there over a t-shirt. She affirms this to be true and asks my name which I respectfully decline to give; she starts in on the shirt - whereupon I cite Cohen v. California, 1971, in which the Supreme Court upheld the right to wear a T-shirt saying: **** THE DRAFT. She’s like: just leave, okay?

    MAJOR TAKEAWAYS:

    1. If your kids can’t handle the word “****” they are going to have a really tough time in this world.

    2. Compared to racism, bigotry, misogyny and collusion with a foreign power, “****” gleams with cleanliness and purity. Treating Muslims and people of color, LGBTQ and women as “less than” is the real filth and harm to our country.

    3. Everywhere I go with this shirt, white males sneer and people of color smile and give me thumbs up. I think it is very worthwhile to let people of color know they are not alone - that some whites also see the evil of racism is resurgent - and we will fight with our brothers and sisters of color against it.

    4. Regarding the restaurant - I’m fine with being asked to leave and I don’t urge a boycott. These things are never easy for businesses, and the workers were polite and professional. Besides, we hope to be back soon...

    5. Challenge authoritarianism anywhere and everywhere ... otherwise, it wins.

    Soros has been a perennial boogie man for the conspiracy dependent, but I have heard that he is being replaced by Bill Gates as of late as their preferred pretext for their chronic bed wetting.

    Meanwhile, the inexorable brain drain in the GOP continues:
    No doubt George Conway and other conservatives who aspire to recapture their Party from the RINOs of Trumpery hope to reverse this trend.

    Some contemplative conservatives such as George Will, Max Booth, William Krystol, Peggy Noonan, David Frum, Ruth Marcus, Jonah Goldberg, Charlie Sykes, etc., etc. etc. fear the enduring stench that Trumpery has likely imparted to the Republican Party.

    Even though I'm not a "Republican", I'll go with Texas GOP and real conservatives in Texas, not some nobody actor with a camera and YouTube host who could be lying about who he is.

    I'm voting with the right this year, instead of for a 3rd party like I normally do. The Democrats picked some real nutters. They'd probably call the Texas GOP Chairman a "racist". I'll stand and vote against the racialism of today's left wing.

    Thanks for thinking of me though! :)

    I love this reaction. I've seen it repeatedly already in this thread now. The faithful can't handle Republicans rejecting Dear Leader, so they (you) call those Republicans pretenders.

    And of course you're voting for Trump. You've been one of his staunchest forum defenders all along. Very loyal, unwilling to consider any information that is unfavorable to him (Him?), believing and repeating every lie he tells because, to you, it is Gospel. Republicans who don't share your faith are not True Republicans.

    Doctrinal disagreements and religious schisms are fun to watch play out from an outside perspective.
