    The doubling down on extremely online right wing twitter topics that make little difference offline is not helping my presidential campaign?

    Well what if we TRIPLED DOWN on it?

    Just so we're clear...choosing to be a good corporate citizen and worrying less about profits is a bad thing now.

    The funny thing is it's not actually just "being a good corporate citizen" - like, companies like casualty insurance companies, etc have a financial interest in mitigating climate risks, as do many, many other companies.

    All the anti ESG nonsense (which, to be clear is not nearly as big a deal in the "real world" as it is among online right wing morons to whom DeSantis has excluvsively outsourced his entire campaign) - is just more of the same anti-first amendment, pro authoritarian "do as we say, or else!" bullshit from the Orbanist-Americans.

    Screw them, Putin, Trump, Orban, DeSantis, Netanyahu. All those guys suck.

    I wonder what work skills DeSantis calls raping slave women and daughters? Would he approve of those skills for his daughters and wife?

    And it is nonsense. For example, companies that employ a diverse workforce make more revenue, benefit from the greater range of ideas and experiences, have lower turnover and as such reduced costs.

    What happens when a debate starts by some kids questioning this in class? Will teachers start getting fired for telling the actual truth to students if discussions come up questioning the whitewashed versions of slavery? Will Moms for Liberty and Far Right groups start complaining to the school boards if teachers go into more details of the actual treatment of slaves, or the massacres and treatment of African Americans?

    You mean like ... in a court of law, where it's been proven over and over in 1000 different cases against Jan 6 defendants?

    Space Ghost knows how to pick only the best people. He's as good at it as Trump.

    Hurd is right but I wish Hurd would’ve taken a more forceful stance against this movement while he was in Congress.

    True. I do recall that Hurd did take a few more moderate positions while in congress. I seem to recall he was early to criticize and oppose trump's boondoggle wall for example. He also criticized trump's Muslim ban. And spoke up on trump's disinformation re: putin.

    I was hoping Hurd would turn his attention to a state-wide campaign for senate or governor.
