Which do you disagree with and why? I can see how number one can be controversial. Not really the rest.

--- God is real.

Patently false. It's fine to believe what you want--but there is no god.

--- Human flourishing requires fossil fuels.

Basically a lame nod to the oil and gas industry and disregard for the future. Yes, fossil fuels have been, and continue to be, crucial to global industrial development. I like my gas-powered home. But renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important and in the future will generate a majority of our energy. They HAVE to, because oil and gas are finite resources--they WILL run out. In 50 years nobody would be silly enough to make the above statement. Also, nuclear energy is hugely important in many countries, including the U.S., and it is not a fossil fuel. (It is fissile fuel.) Were it not for the waste disposal issue, we'd be building lots more nukes, probably.

4. Reverse racism is racism.

Ha: This is just the stupid, old right-wing line aimed at deflecting the obvious reality that many right-wingers are, in fact, racist. How to counter that? By claiming that black is white.

5. An open border is no border.

Completely false. The U.S. border is in no way "open." Another hoary GOP talking point when Dems are in power. Hardly perennial: "immigrant rapists and murderers are pouring across the border!!!" This was a big fear-mongering classic for the gangster. Also, crime is bad, our defense has got weaker, and the government spends too much money. These have been the GOP political talking points for the last 50 years, and will surely remain so for the next 50.

6. Parents determine the education of their children.

Dumb. Since when? Are they setting curriculum? Teaching classes? This is just an outgrowth of right-wing paranoia about sexuality and the nonsense that
schools are trying to "indoctrinate" kids into being gay, blah blah. Half the parents in America barely made it out of crappy high schools and don't
know the first freakin' thing about education.

And this is why interviews with MAGA are always entertaining. Ask them a question about the gangster and await a response light years removed from reality. The interviewer's response to the guy's response should have been: "Yikes, you're free to support whoever you want, but your response was crazy stupid."

The country is so divided that the Biden admin can do literally anything it chooses and there will be zero repercussions at the polls. Joe Biden is the most unfit prez in history at this point and half the country will vote lockstep if they put him up again.
