#Kirk’s rhetoric of “#Christian #white #nationalism, anti- #transgender, …anti-woke culture-war framing, this isn’t on the edge anymore,” Orr said. “It has moved into what many consider the center of #Republican identity.” They said they were deeply concerned about how few people seemed willing to point out the consequences of this shift: “Who is actually fighting for us?”
