Some basic common sense principles or fighting words?
- That our society should be based on neutrality, objectivity, color-blindness, and meritocracy. That all men, women, or whatever who choose to identify with are created equal and all should have the same rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
- That our schools should teach an objectively accurate and fact based concept of American history. We should not "whitewash" or ignore our worst parts of our history (slavery, KKK, WWII internment camps, civil rights struggles) . Nor should we rewrite our history to serve other purposes or to make other points. We need to agree that history should never be politically subjectified by dishonest omission or fake additions.
- That students should not be given class credit for engaging in teacher chosen political activism. A student should not be provided class credit for attending either a pro-life march or a black lives matter march. Certainly a teacher cannot determine by their personal politics that one event is worthy, while the other is not. Political causes should be determined by students and their family and not be part of a school curriculum.
- That you cannot attack or harm innocent people in the quest to solve perceived injustices to other people. Our society is predicated that citizens are responsible for our own actions and should not be punished for actions committed by other people. There should no exceptions made to this because of race, creed, politics, or color. We should not teach anyone in our society that it is right to do so.
If I had asked these same questions five years ago, there wouldn't be a person in the country who would have disagreed with any of this. Today, many people will views these suggestions through the lens that being objective, fair, historically accurate, non-political, and non-judgemental is somehow akin to some sort of suppression or even a fundamental attack on their rights.
The truth is that objectivity and meritocracy are dirty words to most liberals. Liberals insist that history cannot be just taught, but needs to be rewritten to make a political point. Liberals believe that some politics are simply too important to be left to what people might decide for themselves. Good politics needs to be indoctrinated, while bad politics need to be cancelled. Finally the idea that people are responsible for themselves runs 180 degrees opposite to what modern American liberalism stands for. There is no "personal responsibility" in the world of the modern day liberal. Only an unjust society that needs to punish certain innocent people in order to give others chances to thrive. Someone (liberal elites) need to be responsible for the outcome of people. Not the people.
Again, these are "new" concepts. Something that has been created almost out of thin air over the past few years. Things that five years ago would seem so far outside decent American mainstream morality and ethics that it would have been tossed aside as completely "bonkers" to even consider.
The left will attempt to tell you that it's the "conservatives" who have gone off the deep end, but conservatives still believe and stand for what most conservatives have always believed in and stood for. There may be some subtle differences here and there, but in spite of the best efforts of liberals to paint it differently, there has been no drastic change.
The change and the extremism exists 99.9% on the side of people who insist that we completely revamp the manner in which society thinks, that we rewrite history if we must, and that the time has come to pick the correct political point of view to indoctrinate into our society and then punish those who disagree.
These are the facts. There can be no argument. Only liberals personally attacking people, tossing out red herring (what about Trump), lying about the argument just laid out, and ultimately proving that they cannot honestly defend the actions they support.

Liberals must politicize EVERYTHING.
It's what they do when government is their God, politics is their catechism, and abortion their single holy sacrament.
There will be blowback from the left's shenanigans at some point since even the most polite society's have a breaking point. A common thread that runs through most of the people that I interact with every day is that they just want to be left the fuck alone. And liberals are incapable of leaving anything the fuck alone. They must politicize and fuck with everything. It's the only thing that gives their life meaning.
After the sidelining of Representative Liz Cheney from leadership, Kinzinger, a 43-year-old Air Force veteran who was first elected to the House in 2010, was further entrenched as one of the most influential sitting Republican politicians willing to regularly and publicly denounce that dangerous fiction. Inhabiting that position is just about the last thing Kinzinger ever imagined his job would entail. “I made the decision early in my career that I would be willing to take a potentially career-ending vote,” says Kinzinger, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting the attempted insurrection. “But I thought that vote would be for something like a Social Security reform bill. I never thought it would be for defending democracy.”
How does it feel to have your job these days?
I could imagine there’s an even greater sense of purpose. I could also imagine it being demoralizing. You pretty much nailed it. The job has changed because there is so much mistrust. Both within the party and between parties. But yes, there is a sense of aggressive purpose. On the one hand, it’s important for me to do what I’m doing and to speak out. On the other hand, you look around since the election and not many more people have joined me in speaking out about the big lie, and that is a little discouraging.
Have you had any meaningful communication with party leadership — Kevin McCarthy, Elise Stefanik, Steve Scalise — since Liz Cheney was
voted out of her position?1
No. I haven’t had meaningful communication since Jan. 6. Kevin gave a great speech the week after that, and then he went to Mar-a-Lago and charged the paddles and
brought Trump back to life.2
That’s the moment when I realized, Oh, man, this is a problem. You come to understand that when the party and party leaders talk about unity, and in the same breath say that Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party, what they’re talking about isn’t unity. They’re talking about capitulation. When under the guise of unity, you act like Jan. 6 was just whatever you want to make of it, that is capitulating to a false narrative and to a dangerous attack on democracy. I will certainly talk to Kevin if he wants to. But I don’t see how we’re ever going to come eye-to-eye on this until there is a recognition that we can’t be the party of insurrection.
What do you make of all the vacillating McCarthy did in regards to both Trump and Cheney?
He took some seemingly positive steps and then walked them back.
It’s: “I want to be speaker, and whatever it is on a given day that I’ve got to do, I’ll do it.” Part of me doesn’t blame him, because he’s not going to be a senator, he’s not going to be governor. Being speaker is a huge deal. I think in his mind, once he’s speaker, he will be in a position to maybe lead the party differently. But the problem is that this is the moment where opinions of our base voters and our party are being baked in. This is the moment where history is being written as to whether something like Jan. 6 can happen again. I think he made the decision early on that he will take a fund-raising hit if he turns against Trump, that the Freedom Club will throw him under the bus. Had he done the Mitch McConnell — Who’s this guy Trump you speak of? — we probably as a party would be more moved on. But for him, it’s all about how you become speaker.
Does anyone disagree with these principles?
Some basic common sense principles or fighting words?

He just can't help himself
ROFLMFAO !!!
I agree with all four of your bullet point paragraphs. The first two, it seems to me, go witout saying, though it is good to say them.
I especially feel strongly about the third, for I do not think teachers should give credit for attending specific political events of the teacher's choosing. Perhaps the teacher should, however, emphasize that activism in support for one's views is a good thing.
The last paragraph that I also agree with, and yet when you say that "you cannot attack or harm innocent people in the quest to solve perceived injustices to other people," you seem to forget that you felt it was okay to attack and harm innocent people with regard to solving the perceived injustice to Trump in having the election "stolen" from him.
There you seemed to think an exception should be made because of politics.

Alky,
When you eat Kinzinger's shit do you get it in a cone or a dish?
Perhaps the administration should have dressed up their racism, as they have before, under a more high-toned, pseudo-intellectual name like “Critical Agriculture Theory.”
For some time now, since during the election really, they have lied to us and themselves constantly about race, either swallowing Critical Race Theory whole or not commenting on the racism inherent in it to give themselves deniability from ultimate evil.
The roots of this behavior go way back, further back even than the obvious Obama administration and into an exploitation of black people inherent in the Democratic Party since Lyndon Johnson and well before when they could be overtly racist.
We find this playing out in our time in an extreme, though covert, manner. Whether Biden is stupid (doesn’t understand the implications of what he does) or is senile is moot. Those around him do. They see race as the royal road to power. Nothing could be more reprehensible, more retrograde and more dangerous for the future of our country. They should be opposed at all costs.

I agree with the teacher union and the First Lady of the United States of America! Not The Confederacy 2 you want back.
AFT had previously announced a campaign called “Stamping Out Racism and Hate,” which purports to create so-called anti-racist spaces in schools and promises resources to teachers:
While the campaign was announced just in time for Juneteenth—the day we celebrate emancipation from enslavement—it will officially launch in July with a special AFT edition of the book Stamped, by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi. A relatable remix of Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning, this version unpacks Kendi’s treatise on how historic racism has shaped our lives with the trademark humor and familiar language that’s made Reynolds an award-winning author of young adult novels. The book is “not a history book,” Reynolds tells readers. It is “a book that contains history.”
“The authors lay out the pervasiveness and insidiousness of racism in our lives, even as the history and legacy of racism often are left out of what we are taught and told,” writes AFT President Randi Weingarten in a note included in the special edition. “Their words have the power to transform the way we look at the world—to deconstruct false narratives, appreciate diversity and differences, and, crucially, recognize and confront our own racist ideas. I wish I had a book like this when I was a young student.”
Jill Biden spoke on July 7, voicing her full support for the agenda of the teacher’s union, saying, “America’s students and families need champions like never before. Last August, we made a promise to you [union members], that if Joe Biden became our president, classrooms would safely reopen, and we would build back our schools better than before.”
The Republicans want to whitewash the history of slavery and again the destruction of the Reconstruction process that led to Jim Crow era.
Our history is both dark and bright.
You want to go back to the dark era.

Your addict to racism
How do you defend the Capitol riot in view of your last bullet paragraph?
Never have "defended" the Capital riots.
And as was earlier discussed (and you agreed), we shouldn't treat or punish people differently because of race, color, politics, or creed.
My issue (and you just agreed) is that the Capital rioters should be treated the same way other political rioters are being treated.
Unless, of course, you want to admit that your "agreement" with these principles are only in "principle" and that in reality you disagree with them when it hits on politics you agree or disagree with??????????
I have always stated that someone who attacks the police and attempts to destroy Federal property should be held accountable. I believe that Antifa rioters attacking police in Portland, Mpls, and Seattle are just as guilty as those who attacked police at the Capital riots.
I also believe in the fairness that would be if you are not going to charge people who protest/riot in other places for other causes with crimes like "picketing" or "civil disorder" or "obstructing of law enforcement" - then you shouldn't be charging the Capital rioters simply because their politics were different.
Or am I right, Reverend.
When push comes to shove you do actually see it differently and believe that some political causes need to be punished harsher than other political causes?
Because I think your "agreement" with these statements is B.S. when compared to your arguments over the past few months.
btw... another case in point.
You were perfectly fine with and supportive of investigating the 2016 elections even though many people were harmed and injured in the pursuit of what was most definitely always a "big lie".
But you take issues with anyone questioning 2020 election?
How do you reconcile that with the agreements you just made here?
You can't...
I agree with your points! Then in your own last words defended the Orange county!
That our society should be based on neutrality, objectivity, color-blindness, and meritocracy. That all men, women, or whatever who choose to identify with are created equal and all should have the same rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
That our schools should teach an objectively accurate and fact based concept of American history. We should not "whitewash" or ignore our worst parts of our history (slavery, KKK, WWII internment camps, civil rights struggles) .

Our society is predicated that citizens are responsible for our own actions and should not be punished for actions committed by other people. There should no exceptions made to this because of race, creed, politics, or color.
We should not teach anyone in our society that it is right to do so.
But you said.
Only liberals personally attacking people, tossing out red herring (what about Trump), lying about the argument just laid out, and ultimately proving that they cannot honestly defend the actions they support.
The Democrats said Russia Russia Russia Russia Russia.
The Republicans say Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe Sleepy Joe.
The attack on January 6th was an Insurrection against the Constitution of the United States of America.
You believe investigating the 2016 elections is the real big lie.
The Republicans want to whitewash the history of slavery and again the destruction of the Reconstruction process that led to Jim Crow era.
With this idiotic statement you perfectly crystallized the point of this post alky.
We are quite happy to teach the history of America - all of it - including pre-Civil War, the war itself, reconstruction, and even the vehement opposition by DEMOCRATS of civil rights legislation in the sixties.
Your team needs to whitewash this history (completely understandable since this racist era is totally owned by democrats), and to simultaneously politicize it by running through the historic distortions of the 1619 project and CRT.
I'll take my American history straight up thank you, without it being run through your bullshit and divisive filters that serve only YOUR political agenda while doing a gross mis-service to the material and to us all.
Every narrative promoted by the left is a FALSE narrative, and this one is no exception.
The attack on January 6th was an Insurrection against the Constitution of the United States of America.
Proof positive, Roger... that you do believe that some protesters/rioters need to be treated differently because of the politics they represent.
So, you state that you agree..
and then you prove that you don't!
btw... you just agreed that you don't believe that CRT should be in our school, because CRT defies all of the principles I just laid out there.
CRT does reject objectivity and meritocracy as "white privilege". CRT does believe that you need to "rewrite history" such as teaching the 1619 project (which pretty much all historians agree is inaccurate). CRT literally states that Students should be given credit for specific political activism, and CRT literally wants to teach an innocent white child that he/she/whatever is racist and responsible for problems in society based solely on the color of their skin.
So you agree that these ideals of CRT should not exist?
Or are you going to back away from those principles and claim that you "changed your mind" due to more information.
You believe investigating the 2016 elections is the real big lie.
Five separate investigations over three years and tens of millions of dollars proved that Roger. Every investigation ended up concluding that everything was based on a the Steele dossier, which was AS A MATTER OF FACT 95% lies.
When you cannot find any evidence of a claim, even after that much work... then yeah, Roger. It's a lie.
Not sure why you would still disagree with that?
Unless, of course... Democrats challenging an election is okay and Republicans challenging it is not?
In theory... you agree.
In reality, you cannot get past your disagreement to these basic principles.
Because they run counter to your political affiliation.
Both Roger and the Reverend say they agree.
But then when you give them specific examples... they fold like a lawn chair and admit that their own political bias demands that objectively and non-bias be tossed out the window the second something is political.
There is no agreement, because they cannot get past their bias.
Reverend brings up the 2020 election audits as "harming people" and unnecessary while apparently believing that the 2016 investigations were harmless and necessary. Political bias.
Reverend then brings up the Capital riots, while continuously defending the Antifa/BLM riots as okay... 100% based solely on his own political bias.
The sad part about it is that neither Roger or the Reverend actually believe that they have political bias? They literally believe that their bias is truth. You know, because CNN and Social Media rulers say so. Making it 100% impossible to reach them with any logic what-so-ever.

I think I've had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. 1/x
Most believe some or all of the theories involving midnight ballots, voting machines, etc, but what you find when you talk to them is that, while they'll defend those positions w/info they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, they're not particularly attached to them. 2/x
Here are the facts - actual, confirmed facts - that shape their perspective: 1) The FBI/etc spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from Day 1 (see: Brennan's July 2016 memo, etc). 3/x
These are Tea Party people. The types who give their kids a pocket Constitution for their birthday and have Founding Fathers memes in their bios. The intel community spying on a presidential campaign using fake evidence (incl forged documents) is a big deal to them. 4/x
Everyone involved lied about their involvement as long as they could. We only learned the DNC paid for the manufactured evidence because of a court order. Comey denied on TV knowing the DNC paid for it, when we have emails from a year earlier proving that he knew. 5/x
This was true with everyone, from CIA Dir Brennan & Adam Schiff - who were on TV saying they'd seen clear evidence of collusion w/Russia, while admitting under oath behind closed doors that they hadn't - all the way down the line. In the end we learned that it was ALL fake. 6/x
Best twitter thread I've ever read -
Reverend brings up the 2020 election audits as "harming people" and unnecessary while apparently believing that the 2016 investigations were harmless and necessary. Political bias.
Reverend then brings up the Capital riots, while continuously defending the Antifa/BLM riots as okay... 100% based solely on his own political bias.
Well, an old codger who frequents this blog did drop these pearls of alleged wisdom a while back -
"Hypocrisy is the bedrock of liberalism."
Critical race theory has been purposely mischaracterized as a divisive form of discourse that pits people of color against White people and liberals are actually Communists.
James and I try to be objective, instead of letting my political beliefs influence our conclusions.
Of course the other people don't believe that we are not being gaslighted.
Politics is different from science, but sometimes people believe in an ideology that makes it difficult to be objective.
The founding fathers believed that the people would eventually do the right things! The Republicans don't trust the people. So they are carefully crafted legislation that may survive the Court System.
The last few decisions are very dangerous.
But if we get out and vote in record turnout, we the people will prevail.

Roger...
The Teachers union themselves offered much of what I wrote. Is it a mischaracterization to quote the actual Teachers union as it pertains to what they want to teach? They just announced a fund to "protect" teachers who are found in violation of these state laws.
Again, Roger. If the state laws are mischaracterizing what teachers are wanting to teach, then those laws will be moot and will not be relevant, correct?
You do have teachers teaching children about racial division, racial power, and in some cases telling children to rank themselves in terms of what sort of racial privilege that they have. These are things documented (and defended).
When push comes to shove, you agree that this is real and should be taught. The opposite of what you just claimed here today.
You have teachers wanting to incorporate the 1619 project into history classes, in spite of pretty much all historians claiming it is blatantly historically inaccurate. 1619 project was openly political and attempts to "make political points" rather than to accurately describe history.
Yet I have seen your here show your support for that concept.
There are teachers who provided credit for students who attended BLM marches. This is also documented with multiple examples and defended by the Teachers Union and others.
Yet you claim to disagree with such a concept and apparently don't believe it still exists?
So I provide you with specific instances of you showing bias and not wanting to treat everyone objectively.
You just claim I do it... without providing any examples.
Just as I claimed you would. Name calling with nothing to back it up.

So you admit that you were lying when you said you agreed with my four points?
That those ideal (objectivity, non-political, etc...) are outdated concepts and that the CRT that suggests everyone is racist and white people are privileged by nature and that these racist concepts should be taught in schools. That some political viewpoints should be indoctrinated, while others should be censored and punished?
Just admit it Roger... you disagree with each and every one of those theories in reality because they all stop you from making the arguments that you want to make.

I forgot to mention the state of our education but I bet not one in ten high school juniors can recite this passage from the Declaration of Independence. Not one in ten college freshman can recite the follow on passage;
That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence
For those liberal who scream rebellion there is a right to revolution in the Declaration however it is only used in extreme circumstances when the government becomes tyrannical.
Students should memorize these passages like it was catechism. For they are our civil religion and the glue that binds us to the idea of liberty.
That they don't is a mass failure of our education system.

Roger...
Please provide one "fact" that you or the Reverend has provided today vs your personal assertions to irrelevant things like "Tucker Carlson not being credible" as you cut and paste from liberal journalists?
I would like one thing you researched.
And by research, I am not talking about reading an opinion piece from NTY, WSJ, or WaPo. I am talking about objective fact finding.
When you talk about CRT... have you gone to the Teachers association or Teachers union websites? Have you read what actual CRT experts claim it to be?
Because I promise you... it's not research to quote a politician or a CNN analyst. It's regurgitating someone else's opinion as your own and ultimately proving that you are simply influenced (not by the facts) but by the political players (Politicians and journalists). That is why you are a sheeple and cannot think for yourself.
Thinking for yourself does not mean listening to Jim Acosta and then Tucker Carlson and deciding whose argument is better. It's looking at it outside of anyone else's lens and without considering other opinions. Unless, of course, it's something like finding out what literal historians think about the 1619 project or a statistician might think of an election anomaly. Something objective outside the lens of politics.
I'd like to see one objective piece of research on your part.
If you require the teaching of American History to be run through the filter of CRT/1619 project then you must have -
something to hide, something that requires an alternate reality to what actually happened, and you're basically expressing a need to re-write a period of history that reflects very poorly on democrats.
or
you're just running another grift.

Numerous of those who violently broke into the Capitol building were intent on "attacking and harming innocent people."
The only innocent life that was taken was that of Ashely Babbitt. And rumor now has it that Babbitt was not killed by Capital police but a member of a high ranking Democrat's personal security detail.
The only point you have made is the one on the top of your Head Lil Schitty.....an unadulterated pile of dog shit propaganda and talking points the GOP of trump loves......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Republican representatives in the House Judiciary Committee unveiled their “agenda for taking on Big Tech” for silencing opinions through censorship.
The agenda, fronted by ranking member of the committee Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), contains proposals that “will speed up and strengthen antitrust enforcement, hold Big Tech accountable for its censorship, and increase transparency around Big Tech’s decisions.”
The agenda is a multipart approach targeting the areas that make suing and holding Big Tech companies accountable a difficult process, which are the speed of cases against these companies, their accountability, and transparency.
The document states that actions against these companies “take too long and they allow companies years of legal maneuvering.”
For that reason, Republicans suggest “faster treatment of antitrust cases against Big Tech companies,” “providing for a direct appeal to the Supreme Court and requiring the Supreme Court to act quickly when these cases get there,” and empowering state attorneys general allowing them “to utilize the same fast-track procedures available to the Federal government.”
According to the document, the lack of accountability is the reason these companies “control and censor speech with impunity.”
To hold platforms accountable, the agenda suggests the creation of a “statutory basis for Americans to directly challenge Big Tech in court for its censorship,” the revision of Section 230 to “ensure that any content moderation decisions are done in good faith, based on objectively reasonable criteria, and in accord with particularized rules,” and consolidating “antitrust enforcement within the Department of Justice so that it is more effective and accountable.” In the current system, antitrust enforcement is split between the DoJ and FTC, making the system “inefficient and counterproductive.”
The third point in the GOP’s agenda is ensuring transparency in social media platforms content moderation decisions. The Republicans noted that platforms make content moderation decisions in secret, adding these decisions are “imposed summarily and with little justification.” A good solution to this problem would be requiring these platforms to list their content moderation and censorship decisions “with specificity and particularity, on a publicly available website.”

Former President Donald Trump’s efforts to preserve his legacy have begun to clash with his allies’ attempt to energize his movement when it comes to coronavirus vaccines, with the ex-president still demanding credit for its development as his acolytes in Congress and elsewhere disparage its safety and efficacy.
Key Facts
Ahead of a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Sunday, Trump complained in a statement about getting “no credit” for the vaccines, without which, he said, millions more would have died from the virus.
Diligent observers of Trump’s post-presidency would be hard-pressed to find examples of him disparaging the vaccines: In March he urged supporters to take them, calling them “great” and “safe,” and last month he said in a statement they are “saving the world.”
Trump’s plaudits haven’t stopped his voters from refusing vaccines at far higher rates than other groups – CPAC attendees even cheered a comment from vaccine skeptic Alex Berenson on Saturday about the government falling short of its vaccine goals.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in Congress, went from repeatedly praising his role in vaccine development in March and April to urging people to “just say NO” to the vaccines on Sunday.
Greene isn’t the only Trump ally in Congress promoting vaccine hesitancy: Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) criticized the “big push” to get everyone vaccinated in April, while Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) called the shots “experimental” last week.
Many GOP lawmakers also lashed out at the Biden administration over a “door-to-door” vaccine information drive, with Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), the chair of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus, labeling it “door-to-door spying.”
Big Number
90%. That’s the share of the vaccine rollout that can be credited to plans developed during the Trump administration, Moncef Slouai said in March. Slouai, who headed up Operation Warp Speed, a partnership between the Trump administration and private vaccine manufacturers that led to the development of the vaccines, said Trump and President Joe Biden have “similar” rollout strategies, but conceded some failures in “communication” on Trump’s part.
Contra
Trump said in an interview with Fox host Sean Hannity that vaccinating “very young people” is “something that you’ve really got to stop,” though he added, “I am a big believer in what we did with the vaccine. It’s incredible what we did. You see the results.” The Centers for Disease Control currently do not recommend the vaccine for children younger than 12 years old.
Surprising Fact
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), a prolific Trump critic, is in rare alignment with Trump on vaccines. During a CNN appearance on Sunday, the six-term congressman said Republican leaders in Congress should urge supporters to get vaccinated and “call out these garbage politicians, these absolute clown politicians playing on your vaccine fears for their own selfish gain.”
Crucial Quote
“It’s horrifying,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease effort, said when asked by CNN host Jake Tapper about the CPAC crowd cheering low vaccination rates. “They’re cheering about someone saying that it’s a good thing for people not to try and save their lives,” Facui said, adding, “I just don’t get that, and I don’t think anybody who’s thinking clearly can get that.”
Dallas (CNN) - As Texas' battle over voting rights continues to unfold during the special session in Austin, the outrage stoked by former President Donald Trump's false 2020 election claims was still on full display Saturday a few hours north at the major gathering of conservative activists where Trump will be welcomed as the star attraction Sunday.
Republicans are facing a set of highly competitive midterm elections in 2022 and still attempting to shape an agenda that will break through to voters. But the conversation at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend reaffirmed once again that the core activists of the Republican Party have no intention of moving on from Trump or the false claims he has trumpeted that the 2020 election was fraudulent, even though there is no evidence of widespread voting fraud in last year's contest.
Normally, CPAC events serve as an audition arena for the next slate of future Republican presidential contenders. But there was scarcely a hint of that here this weekend as Trump's flirtation with another run for president in 2024 has effectively frozen the field -- with his Sunday speech serving as the main draw for attendees.
Blue flags adorning a truck in the parking lot bore the slogan "Trump Won." Exhibition booths overflowed with Trump hats, flags, and other "45" swag. One 2024 T-shirt pictured Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis but only standing next to Trump as his potential vice president. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, who will speak Sunday before Trump, mentioned the former president within the first two minutes of her last CPAC speech and has allied herself so closely with him that GOP voters often say they'd like to see her as his No. 2 instead of Mike Pence in 2024.
At a gathering branded as "America UnCanceled," Donald Trump Jr. warmed up the crowd on Friday night with quick-witted condemnations of cancel culture and digs at Hunter Biden. But his biggest applause line wasn't even his own. During his speech, an attendee bellowed "Trump won!" eliciting a standing ovation and setting off a round of "Trump" chants.
During a midday Saturday panel that was intended to be a "tough love" assessment of the Republican Party, GOP donor Bubba Saulsbury acknowledged that it has been difficult to shift the attention of both donor and voters to future contests because they are still "livid" about the 2020 outcome.
"I know we need to talk about moving forward, but we've got to be honest with ourselves about where we've been and what happened," said Saulsbury, adding that every donor he's met "believes that there was some level of election fraud."
"Talking to all the donors -- they're apprehensive to donate to anything but election integrity right now, because their thoughts are, 'Why am I going to spend my money if it's not going to be a free and fair election?'" Saulsbury said.
Another Saturday headliner, GOP Rep. Jody Hice, who is challenging incumbent Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger -- the Georgia state official who infuriated Trump by overseeing three ballot counts confirming Joe Biden's victory in Georgia -- steered a panel about Covid-19 toward the topic of election security. When Hice was asked how he would ensure that Americans get the correct information about the Delta variant this fall, he pivoted back to 2020.
"I firmly believe this is the fight of our life politically," Hice told the crowd to applause. "If we lose election integrity, we lose everything. So that's my focus right now." He declined to provide any further comment to Trump the headliner
On Sunday, the
The event also drew Proud Boys as well as the founder of the Oath Keepers, who was recently interviewed by the FBI about his role in the January 6 insurrection, according to the New York Times. He has not been charged with criminal wrongdoing.
Trump will essentially close out the conference Sunday afternoon, after the announcement of the results of CPAC's straw poll which is intended to measure voters' interest in the potential GOP White House contenders. One question includes Trump on a list of potential 2024 candidates; the other does not.
But no matter what Trump decides to do in 2024, his refusal to accept his 2020 election defeat is effectively shaping the GOP agenda nationwide a year and a half before the next set of elections.
Republican-led states across the country have put forward more restrictive voting laws, with lawmakers pointing to concerns about nonexistent widespread election fraud to defend the new measures. Laws have already passed in Florida and Georgia, and Texas lawmakers were engaged in a special session of the Legislature over the weekend, debating their own set of proposals that could make it harder to vote. During the 2021 legislative sessions, the Brennan Center for Justice tracked at least 389 bills to restrict voting that were introduced 48 states.
GOP lawmakers have also seized on the opportunity to push post-election audits, yet another way to undermine election confidence, raise money and curry favor with Trump. The so-called audit in Maricopa County, Arizona -- which continues to drag on -- has drawn Republican lawmakers from multiple states that have expressed interested in launching similar reviews. A Trump ally in Pennsylvania pressed forward with his plans for an election audit last week, sending requests to three counties for everything from their tabulation equipment to voter rolls.
During the CPAC conference white cards were circulating among some attendees with a "7-Pt. plan to restore Donald J. Trump in days, not years." After the violence at the Capitol on January 6, federal officials are paying more attention to those sorts of fringe theories.
CPAC organizers did not respond to CNN's request for comment about the cards.
Trump and his allies have encouraged the ludicrous claims that he could be reinstated as President next month. But they have gained enough traction to lead the Department of Homeland Security to issue a warning last month that Trump's "reinstatement" fantasies could lead to more violence this summer from right-wing extremists.
The worthless FBI managed to arrest everyone involved in 1/6 except for the people who actually planned it; The guy who planted pipe bombs, and the guy who murdered an unarmed woman.
That tells you about all you need to know about "1/6". Except the FBI also had an obligation to avoid it with their inside agents and informants, yet did nothing.
unless that was their plan
