You know, if you had said "this is performative and has no substance," I would have been forced to agree.

But INSTEAD you had to pretend that you don't understand, to pretend that you think THEY think Amen is a gendered word, to perform outrage for the anti-woke crowd.

Jackass.

I'd point out that Amen is Greek by way of Hebrew, not Latin, if you actually gave one good goddamn about the "facts," but we all know the game.

And hell, I'm playing into it by responding, so fuck me I guess.

But, and I say this as though I have any expectation of good faith,

How the hell do you plan on running a country like this, even if you do get back into power again?

How are you going to make a functional career out of pointless grievance, when you could score the same points /by being correct/?

Do you have any idea how low the bar is for a Republican to be viewed as decent right now? How easy it would be to get a reputation as a sensible, results-oriented person? A Statesman?

Don't even need to dunk on your own party! Dunk on the left, and be right while you do it!

Yeah, that's what I mean when I say "what they're doing." It's a rhetorical device that plays on the expectation of a prayer ending in Amen.

It's also one I've heard about a dozen time from Pastors. It's hardly a new joke.

And he knows that.

I liked this morning better when I was looking at dogs that need to be adopted.
