And the GOP self-destruction continues.

(3,582 posts)that caller. I wouldn't be able to even speak to that Nazi fascist filth of a person, Andy Biggs. The caller's comment really threw Andy off his game. He didn't know WHAT to say!

(22,582 posts)And he did it in an incredibly condescending way. What a douchebag!
Edited to add: Biggs' definition of "divisive" is probably "anyone who disagrees with me and the rest of the Freedom Caucus"!

(53,214 posts)It is true that none of us are perfect, but very few of us are as immoral and unprincipled as Donald Trump. The fact that so many republicans in congress still support such a corrupt criminal is beyond comprehension.

(114,614 posts)He really didn't know what to do with that, he's wedded to the southern idea that "god works through flawed men." People who bought that one obviously can't tell the difference between flawed and egregiously horrid.
The caller managed to crack right through the smug smarminess to the deeply frightened man underneath.

(53,214 posts)that because the caller was a republican, it would be an easy call. I have to wonder why they put themselves in that unpredictable situation, because clearly Biggs didn't have a reasonable answer.
I know what you mean about southern fundamentalists believing that "god works through flawed men". They rather love the idea it seems. Though I think some of them believe Trump is unredeemable and see him as the anti-Christ, because they want to speed up the End Times. They just can't wait for the Rapture!

(33,579 posts)He could have affirmed democracy and been respectful but magats are too immature and their brains are too dominated by delusions for that.
I hope they're quaking in their boots. One thing I know that's a truly scientific fact, anger is fear in translation. Otherwise stated with a good ole "southernism"...
A barkin' dog is a nervous dog. Also a fact.
Thanks, catbyte.

But in real life, I know people who are lifelong R's that voted for Clinton and Biden. It's not uncommon.

Andy supports the first group. Im in the second. What you do about judging the offender and those different groups of people is between you and God.
Andy Biggs needs to have a listen with his Bishop. Hes giving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and AZ-CD5 a bad reputation.
