Steve took too narrow a view

Trump congratulates far-right activist Laura Loomer on GOP primary win

Loomer was banned from ride-sharing apps Uber and Lyft in 2017 after a public tweet threat in which she told the companies that she "never want[s] to support another Islamic immigrant driver," along with others calling for "someone ... to create a non Islamic form of @uber or @lyft."

"Isn't it ironic how the twitter moment used to celebrate 'women, LGBTQ, and minorities' is a picture of Ilhan Omar?" she added in a 2018 message shortly before being banned from Twitter as well, referring to the Democratic Minnesota congresswoman. "Ilhan is pro Sharia Ilhan is pro-FGM Under Sharia, homosexuals are oppressed & killed. Women are abused & forced to wear the hijab. Ilhan is anti Jewish."

Loomer told The Hill previously that a victory in her primary would mark the "first time a deplatformed candidate will get a party nomination."

Republican Anna Paulina Luna Wins Primary in Florida’s 13th District – Will Face Democrat Charlie Crist in November

Steve has photos of both and a comment for David Brooks accompanying the photos of Luna.

Dear David Brooks: You want to know what the future of the Republican Party looks like? This is what it looks like.

I left a comment.
The future of the Republican Party? 
Nah, the future of the people's house, legislation to be decided by opposing teams of hot babe mud-wrestlers. 
Trump proved it. You can never have too much democracy.
Perhaps that came to mind because I was reading The Federalist just this morning.
