The bottom line is that the GOP absolutely cannot be trusted to deal with any societal problem.
They lead with cruelty and focus exclusively on how to package private greed as public service.

I worked at the regional HG of the LA Co. Public Library for a while. Baker & Taylor shipments would come through and I'd process them out to everybody in our region. It's a robust system. Private equity is the enemy.
They literally ruin everything they touch

Religion in a democratic society ought to primarily be a private affair. Why is he talking about this in public? It's totally inappropriate. The public should not be subjected to the Vice President's private religious views about the religion of his wife or her future damnation as a non-Catholic.

PRIVATE forgiveness is a private choice, and a personal one.
PUBLIC forgiveness-- meaning here, a welcoming back into political organization and maybe even possible leadership-- has to have a much higher bar.
It is DANGEROUS to forgive & welcome back people who have done harm without doing repair.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

Okay, good:
"Dislikes are private and the signal isn’t global — it mainly affects your own experience and, to an extent, others in your social neighborhood."
Because public dislikes would be TOXIC AS HELL.

For years, Florida Republicans funneled billions in public money to private Christian schools.
Now that some Islamic schools are accepting vouchers, those Republicans are screaming about preventing "Sharia law."
Hypocrisy, meet reality.

Florida Republicans are furious that Muslims are using a voucher program meant to boost Christianity
The same lawmakers who voted to send taxpayer funds to private Christian schools are panicking now that Muslim schools are participating in the program
