These Anti-Talarico flyers are hilarious
They couldn't even be bothered to be original, calling Talarico "weird".

how do we get away from this culture where it’s acceptable and worse still, effective to tell outrageous lies about your opponent?

I mean those are real quotes, I looked them up. Obviously the context is missing.

meaning by reframing it in an entirely different context?you have a future in used car sales

Then shame on the effected voters. Talarico is NOT WIERD, he's just a good, smart, Christian man. Nothing like his opponent.

He’s none of the things they say
And he does seem like an actual decent person in politics. We need more

You might think it’s hilarious, but it has a targeted audience that will believe it.

Oh, I am well aware. Sometimes you gotta just laugh at the absurdity of it all.

He did say those things. Only the last one is maybe lacking full context, and the context is him retconning Jesus into being a radical Marxist prescribing government action instead of how individuals should behave.

I never said he didnt say them. Most of these are in fact taken out of context.
He argued that God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between. He admitted he was using provocative language to make a theological point. BUT, what he said is in fact consistent with the Bible. John 4:24 states that "God is spirit" and most christians believe god transcends human concepts of gender.
Jesus defied Jewish patriarchal norms by making women his core students, allowing them to sit at his feet and choosing women as the first witnesses to his resurrection. So, Talarico told the truth.
Talarico said he "hates christianity" due to its use by political elites to manipulate others. Jesus himself harshly criticized the existing religious establishment, called out their hypocrisy in defense of the the poor and powerless.
The 6 genders things is not true at all. He said there are six common variants of biological sex, which is almost accurate. There are: XX, XY, XXY, X0, XXX, Androgen Sensitivity Syndrome (XY that doesn't respond to male hormones), Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia which can result in XX having a penis or XY having a vagina (intersex). So what he said was technically correct. Its the Republicans that have twisted it to gender to suit their narrative.
Everything Talarico said was true, and republicans dont like it because they haven't actually read their Bible or thought about these things longer than 5 seconds.

So you would still vote for him over the prosecutor who gave a child molester a day in jail right?

The endgame of Marxism is the withering away of the state -- the opposite of your "definition."

Yes, and the endgame of the plastic shopping bag was originally to reduce waste. Now let's talk about things that have actually happened.

things that have actually happened
So not your definition, or your accusations of Marxism.

I'm not a fan that my 16 year old LGTBQ daughter is getting daily unsolicited hate messages from Paxton on her phone.
