At a certain point it is just willful ignorance to not learn what it is the most evil chunks of our country wants to do and why. ——— Just rolling out of bed, anyway. Yes on second look this is old. I don’t think that takes away from my doomsaying ‘that’s the direction they’re going’, first abortion then the gays then racial hierarchy. These are the traditional values of America that we have stripped away.

Anywhoo here’s an article about it and Il make a follow up post https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2022/03/23/how-indiana-reacted-mike-brauns-comments-interracial-marriage/7138541001/

    It’s interesting how the only “states’ rights” conservatives care about are the ones involving denying rights to the people.

    I’ll do you one better! The interracial marriage ruling should be left to the individual!

    Everybody who votes for them knows exactly what they stand for. They vote for them because of the fascism, not despite it.

    How did interracial marriage come to the supreme court anyway? States made laws against it?

    After reading the article, it seems like he’s a moron for answering a question that he didn’t understand. It reads like he didn’t know what subject Loving referred to. Maybe I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt because I’m in an interracial marriage and don’t want to believe that we are at a point where representatives actually think they can advocate getting rid of federal protection for interracial marriage but I don’t actually believe that this idiot knew what question he was answering.

    You wanna know the worst part? In the Senate race that got him elected this time, he was CLEARLY the best Republican candidate. Imagine if Todd Fucking Rokita had won. Actually, it is almost as bad having him as state AG.

      Yeah, once it’s been a while since he first said it, it’s not fair or relevant to hold him accountable for believing this sort of thing. That’s why successful politicians always make sure to get all their racist bullshit on the record as early as possible, so that it doesn’t come up when it matters later.
