Beware. GA Governor Brian Kemp has Presidential aspirations. He could win.

Here’s why. He stood up to Donald Trump and, in many Georgian’s eyes, that made him a hero. That made it okay to vote for him. Forget that he supported Trump.

That dynamic will work outside of GA, especially because they haven’t seen Kemp in action. Add to it the facts that he speaks without sounding batpoo crazy, looks like everyone’s benign Grandpa and has some very smart people on staff. (He himself, not so bright)

Kemp would have us believe that he’s fiscally responsible. After all, he has a budget surplus, raised teacher’s pay and may pass out tax refunds. He forgets to mention the role Federal funds—which he disapproves off, but quickly grabs anyhow—play in his largesse.

Compared to Trump & DeSantis, Kemp appears normal. Someone you could safely vote for.

It’s a façade. Underneath, he believes & practices the same authoritarian Christofascist foolishness as all the other remanents in the Republican Party.
Read on.
