We feel like we’re in a club where we’re not really welcome.
How brain dead do they have to be, to be realizing this just now?

MODERATORS
Well, they're GOP, so.
People who joined the leopard eating faces club are surprised the leopards ate their face. Who could have predicted this? No one I tell you, absolutely no one. A very surprising turn of events.
/s just in case, we’re on the internet after all
"Cmon, can't we all just hate queers in peace, together?"
Queers and women
And poor people.
Oh, and also Muslims while we're at it.
If you are in the Republican party and not a wealthy white male you are an outsider and will forever be one. They will only use you for as long as they need then dump you. Muslims that vote conservative are the biggest fools of all.
Reminds me of the gay man that helped Hitler rise to power just to be executed for being gay. His name was Ernst Rohm and he took thought they would change and see how he was different but that was a mistake.
He wasn't executed for being gay but rather due to internal power struggles in the Nazi party and being seen as a threat.
He was the co-founder of the Nazi party and leader of the brown shirts.
I mean Stalin had a reason to remove everyone. It seems plausible that it could be a cover story.
Muslims feeling alienated in the U.S.
Is this an "Onion" article?
Leopard ate my face, same thing
In a Michigan Republican Party where three of the six vice chairs are Muslim, “we feel like we’re in a club where we’re not really welcome."
I mean, who would have ever thought that... No one could have foreseen this happen. No one, I say... No one... /s
Handy tip: an abbreviation for Nationalist Christians is Nat-Cs.
What about their reaction to 9/11 makes any Muslim want to join the GOP?
Religion.
The only religion the GOP cares about is evangelical Christianity. If they don't realize that, they're delusional
Nope. False. All politicians who have a faith based base have to care about all faiths because faith in general is what is protected. Protecting Islam, or Judaism as antithetical as it sounds boldters the Christian faith as well.
Once a national religion is defined and enforced they could then stop carrying about all others.
They don't care about any other religion and want Christianity to be the state religion. They're pushing it at all levels of government
They have to care, what they want and what they need to get what they want are two different things entirely.
Was there ever a point in the last 80 years when they actually felt welcome? The GOP dove headfirst into Christian Nationalism after WWII.
