i think it's close to that time when decent people, no matter their personalized construct of 'conservative/republican' political leanings have been, will have to stop identifying specifically as 'republican'

 

 

it's real hard to do that 'trumplican' v 'og republican' separation with any benefit from that distinction going to the non-trumper republican anymore

They'll just claim to be libertarian.  As if they never evolved from being a 14yo virgin losing it over Ayn Rand. 😏

The ones that are decent are already well ahead of you.  The ones who aren’t already there, won’t ever be.

Everything the right accuses the left of doing, the right actually does. Sometimes, they argue they have to preemptively do this really wrong thing because otherwise the other side will do it first.

Former Trump Admin Official Files $10 Million Lawsuit After News Outlet Called Her Comments ‘Racist’

 

A former Trump administration official and GOP House candidate on Monday filed a lawsuit accusing the Texas Tribune of defaming her when it referred to her anti-Chinese Communist Party comments as a “racist” denunciation of Chinese immigrants in general.

 

Sery Kim, a Korean American who previously served in Donald Trump’s Small Business Administration (SBA) came under fire last week after she appeared to broadly say during a Republican party immigration forum in Arlington that she didn’t want immigrants from China to come to the United States.

 

“I don’t want them here at all,” Kim said in response to a question about potential Chinese immigrants (Kim has said she was referring to the Chinese Communist Party and its adherents, not those fleeing oppression). “They steal our intellectual property, they give us coronavirus, they don’t hold themselves accountable.”

 

She added, “And quite frankly, I can say that because I’m Korean.”

 

Reps. Young Kim and Michelle Steel of California — the first Korean American Republican women to serve in Congress — released a joint statement two days later pulling their support for Kim, saying they “cannot in good conscience continue to support her candidacy.”

 

The article by the Austin-based publication at the center of Sery Kim’s lawsuit, titled “GOP congressional candidate in Texas special election loses prominent supporters after racist comment about Chinese immigrants,” focused largely on Young Kim and Steel’s reactions to Sery Kim’s comments.

 

In the lawsuit, which Kim filed pro se (without an attorney) in Tarrant County District Court, the first-time congressional candidate made several eyebrow raising choices, beginning with her decision to reproduce a series of racist, vile emails that she received following the Texas Tribune’s reporting. Kim, who graduated from the University of Texas School of Law, claimed the Texas Tribune should have published the hate mail sent to her instead of simply saying she was “facing intense backlash.”

 

Thus, her entire lawsuit, which seeks $10 million in damages, is based on whether or not her remarks can be classified as “racist,” which may be a matter of opinion that is not actionable. The Texas Tribune referred to Kim’s comments as racist but never said Kim herself was a racist.
