“I think that Donald Trump is worried that we’re about to flip Texas,” Talarico said, which was met with audience applause. “This is the party that ran against cancel culture, and now they’re trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read. And this is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture, the kind that comes from the top.”

Talarico accused the Trump administration of “selling out the First Amendment to curry favor with corrupt politicians.”

“A threat to any of our First Amendment rights is a threat to all of our First Amendment rights.”

      Dude, I get it, but he’s the best kind of Christian for the red states. He wants a separation of church and state and fought for it. He tells everyone to love their neighbor no matter if they’re LGBTQ+, another ethnic group or another religion. This is the best red state candidate there is.

        I hear you. And everyone else. And even agree. I just can’t stand listening after a while. I had my own religious upbringing and I’m not happy about it. I appreciate everyone’s comments here.
