I think the country is at the point where if 50% of these ideas backfire and don't work out, that it's completely worth it with how far off the rails the left has taken us in the direction of the cliff

People are ready to accept that mistakes will be made in correcting the mess we find ourselves in

Does #9 advocate reinstating criminal penalties for gay couples, perhaps with prison time?

No. Just no. We won't go backwards.
Not sure where you picked any of that nonsense up.

#8 sounds to me like he wants to promote having involved parents in raising children. Let's face it, a 25 year old mom with 4 or 5 kids by 4 or 5 different dads that aren't in the picture, being raised by grandma isn't working out so well.

#9 sounds to me like he wants to follow the science. A person born a male is not , nor will not ever be a female. They can live like a female, call themselves a female, but they aren't one. Same goes for a person born a female.

Put aside the feasibility of most of those things, the fact that we do have a 14th amendment, this is Rick Scott we are talking about right? This is the guy that breaks out in Spanish at a moments notice and will pander to anything, also who was CEO during the biggest Medicare defraud ever. This guy in the white house would be closer to Bush 2 than trump probably not rethoric wise but policy wise for sure. I guess what I am saying is as demented as I personally think most that diatribe is, he has 0 intention of carrying any of that out.

By the hysterical and unhinged response on Twitter, it's safe to say that Rick Scott is "Over Target"

This is absolutely the "M-O" of typical feckless do-nothing Republicans of years past. Those Liz Cheneys and Mitt Romneys are all getting ejected from the political landscape. The establishment RINOs / uniparty neocons / whatever you want to call them are now almost unelectable and will mostly be primaried out in 2022 and 2024


Republicans who are elected to office are now expected to follow through and act

Nope. This is nothing more than him preaching to the far-right choir. Those folks were never going to vote for anyone else, regardless. Political masturbation, nothing more productive than that.

Numbers 1-3 are on point but eventually he starts to mix church and state. This is what makes the Republican Party a threat to our freedom, particularly our religious freedom. As a non-mainstream Christian, it is extremely problematic. I cannot support that in any way, shape or form.

This is your fundamental misunderstanding of Western Democracy. It is in fact base on Jude-Christian values and this does not mean it is a religious system, it means the core principles are based on judeo-Chrisitan values. Notions like "it is better to let the crime of a guilty person go unpunished than to condemn the innocent" are firmly based in that tradition.

What we have been seeing is foundational judeo-christian values being slowly eroded and replaced with "values" from the woke religion, which is absolutely a religion and one based in Marxism which is a proven catastrophe

The left doesnt control this country. If you are mad right now, its likely because of something your party did.

What specifically are you against?

What do you find harmful to society?

None of them are my party, and the GOP is responsible for fecklessly letting the Democrats doing what they did over decades

This started to stop with Trump by the time he left office, and now the roadmap is set. Forge ahead and ignore the
insults & attacks, stop trying to be loved by leftist media rags, and just get off your asses and do something
