UnhingedOpinion
The GOP is no longer a party. It’s a movement to impose White Christian nationalism.
People might be confused about how a Republican Party that once worried about government overreach now seeks to control medical care for transgender children and retaliate against a corporation for objecting to a bill targeting LGBTQ students. And why is it that the most ambitious Republicans are spending more time battling nonexistent critical race theory in schools than on health care or inflation?
To explain this, one must acknowledge that the GOP is not a political party anymore. It is a movement dedicated to imposing White Christian nationalism.
The media blandly describes the GOP’s obsessions as “culture wars,” but that suggests there is another side seeking to impose its views on others. In reality, only one side is repudiating pluralistic democracy — White, Christian and mainly rural Americans who are becoming a minority group and want to maintain their political power.
The result is an alarming pattern: Any moment of social progress is soon followed by reactionary panic and claims of victimhood. It’s no mere coincidence that Donald Trump, the leader of the birther movement, succeeded the first African American president. Nor should the anti-critical-race-theory movement surprise anyone given the mass protests in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020. Understanding his phenomenon is crucial to preserving pluralistic democracy.

The opinion is unhinged? Why so?Unhinged
How is the GOP imposing White Christian nationalism by opposing life changing, medically unnecessary surgery on minors?The opinion is unhinged? Why so?
Could it be that because they believe and are attempting to pass laws that reflect their ignorant religious views about the LGBTQ community on the population? Why not let them live their lives as they see fit?How is the GOP imposing White Christian nationalism by opposing life changing, medically unnecessary surgery on minors?
What does religion have to do with trying to protect minors from life changing, medically unnecessary surgery? And how is that related to white nationalism. I don't pay the WaPo, but whoever wrote that is unhinged. The opinion make no sense whatsoever. And they are liars. The FL law does not "target LGBT" students. THat's a lie pushed by activists.Could it be that because they believe and are attempting to pass laws that reflect their ignorant religious views about the LGBTQ community on the population? Why not let them live their lives as they see fit?
Its now a white nationalist party, more than willing to forego the niceties of representative democracy, for their .agendaOpinion

Opposing teaching five year olds the finer points of anal sex isn't white nationalism. It's common sense.Florida's governor signs controversial law opponents dubbed 'Don't Say Gay'
