The way some* of our electeds are talking it sounds to me like they've accepted that we are a majority Christian Nationalist nation and so they feel they need to try to "win over" those people. Give it the f up. There is no appeasing them and a vast majority oppose them!

Sometimes I just want to scream at some* of our Democratic electeds "For Goodness Sake, BE PROUD OF WHO HATES YOU!"**

*I know we have plenty who get it right. But I think the ones who get it wrong stand out to me -- sort of like fingernails on a chalk board.

** A little corollary. If a group hates you and you suspect they have a point, perhaps rethink what you are doing.
