At a certain point it is just willful ignorance to not learn what it is the most evil chunks of our country wants to do and why. ——— Just rolling out of bed, anyway. Yes on second look this is old. I don’t think that takes away from my doomsaying ‘that’s the direction they’re going’, first abortion then the gays then racial hierarchy. These are the traditional values of America that we have stripped away.

Anywhoo here’s an article about it and Il make a follow up post https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2022/03/23/how-indiana-reacted-mike-brauns-comments-interracial-marriage/7138541001/

Changed it almost immediately, in fact.

The Dobbs decision still leaves the door open for this, as well as other horrible things.

The Gish Gallop* has gone from being a debating tactic to the entirety of the GOP platform.

*The Gish Gallop means that you throw out so many lies, half-truths and bizarre asides that your debate opponent spends all their time trying to get back to the issue at hand.

Yeah, once it's been a while since he first said it, it's not fair or relevant to hold him accountable for believing this sort of thing. That's why successful politicians always make sure to get all their racist bullshit on the record as early as possible, so that it doesn't come up when it matters later.

It's relevant today because he is running for governor
