This is exactly correct. Purity tests are stupid, because money has to play a role. But let’s be honest about who is at least trying.
Interesting new data from the Yale Youth Poll that asked 18-34 year-olds: "Who do you think each party is fighting for?"
GOP → rich, wealthy, billionaires, corporate, donors, Trump
Democrats → working class, rights, immigrants, middle class—but donors, corporate, rich also show up.

It's cute, reading all these anguished cries: "when this is all over, these guys need to go to jail!" I remember saying that during Bush I crimes, and during Bush II crimes, and during Trump I crimes.
Guess how many of those guys went to jail.

Very very important read. Texas is not necessarily the national model but it does have a whole bunch of soon-to-be uneducated people
Much, much more background here on the ongoing — and increasingly open — GOP movement to Christianize Texas public schools.
🧵🧵 Texas Republicans have been increasingly open and aggressive about Christianizing America via schools - to, in the words of the state education board chair, center classrooms around "GOD, GOP & USA."
That fight just escalated, and you should pay attention - because your state could be next.

This hearing just began with a State Board of Education member trying to bar a Council on American-Islamic Relations representative barred from speaking because she leads a "terrorist" organization. (Yesterday, Gov. Abbott designated CAIR as such).
Happening now: Texas clergy speaking out about the influence of Christian nationalism — including David Barton’s theories — on proposed social studies curriculum. The State Board of Education will hold a hearing on the proposals later today.
