Last month, Bernie Moreno won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate in Ohio. Moreno benefited from an early endorsement from Turning Point Action, the far-right activist group founded by Charlie Kirk. On May 10, 2023, Kirk posted on X that he was "
1. America First is a racist-based idelogy. 2. Charlie Kirk is a liar and a racist. 3. The Civil Rights Act was not about taking anything away form white people and giving special status to people of color.
Senator Sherrod Brown is one of the best. A quality guy all the way down. Ohio, however, is a state in civic decline, infected with a maga nihilism that will be difficult to overcome.
Send Sherrod Brown some bucks you can spare. Please.
Bernie Moreno and Charlie Kirk embody what the typical MAGA base care about and vote for. Anyone who doubts that these people are deeply racist does not understand what is going on beneath the surface. In fact, probably many Trump voters (and elected officials in the Senate and House) do not realize that their position is unconsciously deeply racist. "...because they have a black friend...or love their Hispanic gardener or cleaning woman" People--all of us--tend to be judgmental, and defend our virtuousness rather than take a look within. Spiritual inner work is hard work,
Could it be that Ohio will soon have the two worst senators in the US Senate? JD Vance is isolationist and pro-Russia, dressing up his foreign policy views as "multipolarity"; Moreno is the candidate of Turning Point and Trump, two of the most extremist and destructive forces in the US.
Because of assholes like Kirk, and most Republicans, come to think of it, hate has become normalized. Hate, cruelty, misogyny, incompetence, greed, and malicious stupidity is all they stand for. Oops, forgot about God, yeah, they're really into that, too.
I have to ask about the "Elephant(s)" in the room.
How did so many corrupt, immoral, unethical, un-American persons... accumulate so much wealth as to be able to buy our election/political process?
Are we that gullible, desperate for work, or more interested in...not being concerned about where our dollars are going...or do we not have the time to chase after all the bad actors in the private sector?
Too many bad actors within our species...not enough guard rails.
More guardrails and less corrupt and destructive actors to affect our daily lives.
But Charlie Kirk will claim he's not a racist lol. TPUSA is basically the new-age KKK. You'd have to be a full-blown racist to support this nonsense. What's sad is that there are more overt racists now than at any point in my life. I'm 34
I'm constantly being surprised when these kinds of people (radical racists) pop up. I lived in Washington D.C. for awhile where I was "the minority" riding buses with Black people who were in the main just riding to work and other humdrum activities. No one ever bothered me, but I noticed that if I brought a white friend, they were always nervous being on the bus and wanted to sit up front near the exit. They're just people like the rest of us and they respond the same to threats as we would, if you want to make trouble for them. Look beyond what people look like and look instead at their body language and behavior. Superficial details rarely determine anything in an encounter.
Thanks for publicizing this. Charlie Kirk hangs with the worst. Most recently at Kent State with Kyle Rittenhouse. Ohio seems to have forgotten it was a Union state.
Sadly, Turning Point is based in Phoenix. AZ is home to the Alliance Defending Freedom, Goldwater Institute, and the Center for AZ Policy, all so far right, they could fall off the flat earth.
AZ has been under Republican control in the lege for over 30 years. But bringing us back to 1864 went too far. The pendulum will finally swing. Women will save AZ and the country.
Candidates should be judged by their supporters. While they cannot stop someone from endorsing them, they can reject the endorsement...and refund all the donations from objectionable (racist) supporters.
A thought:

Thanks again for the story, Judd.

These guys sound like real pieces of shit.

Vote BLUE, like our lives really depend on it.
Vote blue.

Thank you for this story. I have just gone online and made a donation to Senator Sherrod Brown.
A “proud minority businessman,” just as Clarence Thomas is a “proud minority Supreme Court justice.”
Perfect, text book example of gaslighting and head spinning propaganda.
Gawd. Can’t we as a society hit bottom already, so we can begin the journey upwards again? SMH
