A Time For Choosing: MAGA Implodes In The Process. Vance Will NOT Denounce Racists.

As their excellent timing would have it, some of my best commenters have been discussing the open lie that people like JD Vance tell repeatedly in their stump speeches. As this comment notes, our founders intended that this nation's governance be quintessentially non-religious. That is, our government is to be a civil government only. It was in our earliest treaties, and very well expressed.

But the lying opportunist JD Vance repeatedly tells the story that America was founded as a Christian only nation. Nothing could be further from the truth. But he believes that is his ticket to a 2028 seat at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I disagree. I think Americans are smarter than that. And those who are not, they will oppose his wife vehemently. The irony is almost too delicious. In any event, here is the latest -- on the fracturing of the hateful right:

. . .Last week, Ben Shapiro, a conservative commentator, warned that the “conservative movement was in serious danger” by those willing to amplify conspiracies, including Candace Owens, the podcaster widely accused of antisemitism. She has also spread unfounded theories about Mr. Kirk’s death.

Mr. Shapiro’s warning also targeted Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host who recently held a softball interview with Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust denier and avowed antisemite. Mr. Carlson later accused Mr. Shapiro of trying to censor him.

On Friday, Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian American who is running for governor of Ohio as a Republican, also criticized a faction of the party. He went after those who have embraced the idea that so-called “heritage Americans” — a predominantly white group whose families have been in the country for multiple generations — have a greater cliaim to the nation than more recent arrivals. . . .

The MAGA people, almost to a person embrace open racism, bigotry, sexism and Antisemitism -- in almost every one of their supposed policy views.

So then, let this be their enduring karma: they will never win another national election. The rest of us Americans are well past these odious 18^th and 19^th century views. And our votes will reflect that. Onward, resolutely.
