    Thinking you’re part of the GOP in group is some real magical thinking.

    Especially considering the Washington Times is owned by the Unification Church, which is a Korean religion with a Korean founder who is worshipped as a god.

    Republicans are happy to bow and scrape for the Moonies when they need their support, but there’s no chance they’re giving non-white people a seat at the table as soon as they have the ability to kick them out.

      I had no idea that the Moonies owned this paper. That should completely deligitimize it to just about everyone.

        It should, but since they have spent decades ingratiating themselves with Republican politicians, which includes giving them huge amounts of cash, so higher-up Republicans tolerate them, and even pretend to venerate them. For now.

        And I doubt the base even knows what the Unification Church is, much less that they own the Washington Times. Similarly, the Falun Gong cult owns the Epoch Times, another so-called news outlet that Republicans love. But I’m guessing most of them are completely unaware that it isn’t white people they’re getting their information from.
