I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Please permit me to correct your language, Heather. There is no longer a Republican Party. There is in its place a cult of personality that has no basis in or respect for democracy. It is shameful and terribly sad that a party that used to have members with at least a modicum of integrity no longer exists.
Betsy, you are absolutely right. Case in point: In Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just removed a democratically-elected prosecutor (a Democrat) from office and replaced her with a MAGA Republican. The democratic process means nothing to them, power is everything. It probably didn't help that the prosecutor is a Black female who is bright, articulate and upholds the rule of law. Imagine, if you will or can, DeSantis as POTUS.
