yes, BUT.
There's video of Chuck Schumer calling for "border barriers" the year before Trump started campaigning.
Trump, with similar/same views as he has today was a registered Dem a decade ago.
I know this was a page ago but there is video of President Obama doing the same.
Democratic Congresspeople were happy to vote for fencing along the border. Mexico has a border fencing in places (part of it was damaged by a migrate caravan).
Any US government that starts openly persecuting Christianity would have alienated about half the population, right there. And that would include the military people.
As for fighting China, or anything else.... Putin and Xi would love it if the USA were to implode into flat-out civil war over something like gay marriage.
It isn’t going to happen. The military, cops, gun owners and a significant part of the population would be against fighting one for that.
This is Beto giving voice to the 8 percent of progressives who make up the party and sinking everyone on Democratic side chances as he goes down in flames. Maybe he wants a book deal or needs the fame/love he got. When reporters were lovingly describing his sweat as he spoke at a rally. Maybe he’s just that spiteful or dumb.
All Trump has to do in the general election is play Beto saying, “Hell yeah we are going to take your guns.” And “Churches should be taxed for not supporting gay marriage.” To thunderous applause from Democratic voters in the audience.
Then Trump gets the Midwest, the Bible Belt, the South and most of the West.
Then play ads with Warren supporting the GND and most of the country follows.
Right now Trump is shooting himself in the foot but the Dems.
The Democratic Party is actively murdering itself.
By the way, he’s done in Texas. After the gun grabbing crap. Maybe he could have held onto his district but after the church comments he is fucked.
