My question: with an organization already set up in so many states, why support any other than their own candidate on the (#KochNetwork ) Stand Together Party ticket? AFP is already America's 3rd political party. washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…

Why Are Some Christian Nationalist Leaders Opposed to Being Called Christian Nationalists? newrepublic.com/article/168314… "Which raises the question: If Christian nationalism is as wholesome as a barbecue on the Fourth of July and something to be proud of, why is it also an insult?"->
2/ "Christian nationalism...is both a set of ideas and a political movement—an organized quest for power—and it represents an existential threat to democracy in America. The leaders of the movement know this. It is many of their supporters that they are attempting to bamboozle."
