[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So who is going to fund pride parades and trans days of visibility in other countries now if all this comes to pass?[/quote]

So you needed to destroy the foreign service because you disagree with a few actions? [/quote]

It’s part of the current plans of the R’s to destroy institutions that favor Democrats/progressive ideology/etc. Basically to destroy their “power base.” Dept. Of Education, Foreign Service, Peace Corps, parts of State, etc. [/quote]

Pretty much this. All those institutions could have been neutral, but decided to essentially become part of team blue. In the short term that probably worked, but now what? People worry about church and state, but party and state have just as many problems. [/quote]

This is such revisionist history. There are plenty of people who are republicans who went into the Peace Corps or teach. These are NON PARTISAN jobs. Just because MAGA wants to label them as lefitsts doesn't mean they are. The US has been a global leader for a century and Trump is dismantling all of the things that has made this country great and gaslighting his adherents into believing the opposite.[/quote]

Are you implying there was some sort of Peace Corps to Heritage pipeline? Because there is for liberal orgs. You ever talk to someone at ED, or a FSO off hours? Maybe they aren't liberals by Takoma Park standards...[/quote]

There are actual Christians, not the fake Evangelicals, who believe in service, you know, like the Kennedy's (catholics) who founded the Peace Corps - they are still conservatives, not MAGAs. And one can believe in that service, or believe in teaching as a vocation and still be a conservative. They don't need to adhere to the Heritage Foundation or MAGA.[/quote]

And let’s not forget it was GWB who started PEPFAR, with many conservative supporters to this day. [/quote]
