Apropos of props here's... (Herschel) Walker, Texas Ranger

I'm also Leif Erickson and John Wayne!
I suggest the Sergeant-at-Arms give Herschel Walker an Honorary Senate Pin so Herschel can claim to be a Real Senator, as well as being a Policeman, and a FBI agent, and a High School Valedictorian

Erick Erickson loves Walker (must be the Viking connection).  Erickson is one of those soft-handed wide-waisted bigots who has an opinion about everything while writing from the safety of his expansive derrière.  I don't know if Erickson actually believes they shot he writes about Walker or is simply providing cover for Herschel.

But, throughout the Walker Saga, EricKKKson has dismissed any and all criticism.  You see to Georgia whites and especially flabby white rightwing EricKKKson types, Herschel Walker represents everything they believe about black men;  stupid, brutish, sexually licentious, possessing unreal physicality and easily told what to do and say.

Racist Georgia whites are tripping over themselves to support Walker.  Meanwhile, those same Georgia whites are slandering Senator Reverend Warnock with the same 300 year old racist smears they've peddled forever.

There is literally nothing Walker could have done previously or said recently to cause conservatives to abandon him.  They yearn to have such a man in Congress, especially due to Walker's long ties to Trump.  We are in an era when conservatives simply do not care, at all, about the failings of Republicans.  "I don't care if Herschel Walker paid to abort baby eagles.  I want control of the Senate,"  cracked-teeth crack-pot Gun Nut Dana Loesch simply declared.  Conservatives never actually believed any of the values they supposedly espoused.  They never exhibited the ethics they claimed to ardently believe in.  Everything conservatives claimed to support and cherish was naught but a rhetorical club to bash the Left.  It's always been about power.  The power to control and enforce the rightwing agenda of intolerance and oppression.

Republicans have nothing to offer the American people except fear and lies.  Nothing.  They have no policy goals, no plans, no grand strategy.  The entirety of the Republican platform is Hatred and Fear.

Fear of CRT.  Hatred of black people.  Fear of asylum seekers.  Hatred of immigrants.  Fear of change.  Hatred of Trans persons.  The visceral Hatred at the idea the US government will finally help minorities and balance the interests of the poor and working class over the abject rightwing veneration and adulation of Rich Plutocratic Overlords.  The bowl-shaking Fear that conservatives will be treated the way they treat others.

I hope Reverend Warnock wins a full-term.  I hope Stacey Abrams excellent political ground game can overcome Brian Kemp's and the Georgia Republican voter suppression efforts.
