I don't think that having the Republicans tell me to act more white and Christian, when I'm actually only sort of white and not Christian at all, is unifying. It feels a lot more like being singled out and attacked.
- civilian 10y agoDo Rs actually tell you to be more white and Christian? Calling BS. I've lived in Massachusetts, that was not my experience at all.
