No, but she does advocate directly contacting Republicans to vent your anger and frustration at them, vs. scapegoating Democrats, since they have less control at the moment over what might happen.

Speaking of which, if you’ve got an hour, have a look at this:

The press conference featured a host of anti-trans advocates from the sports world, including volleyball player Rebekah Allick, who openly called for Christian nationalism while rejecting the separation of church and state.

OK, lets unpack this:

James Madison was a strong advocate for the separation of church and state.

Madison was one of the Federalist Papers’ authors. He is regarded as the inspiration for the Federalist Society.

The current “conservative” Supreme Court majority are all members of the Federalist Society.

They are also the ones most inclined to tear down the wall between church and state.

This makes zero sense.

They’ve had that name since 2012, years before being a trans ally was fashionable. So I suppose you could say they’re pioneers. ;)

Of course he’s playing one of the oldest games in the world – divide and conquer.
