Walker has turned his life around:
He admitted to the awful things he's done, like pressure women into abortions and cheating on multiple partners. He's admitted to lying about being a partner to law enforcement and lying about being a law enforcement officer. Right? |

Given the fact that the more christian one is the more likely they are to be republican and MAGA cult worshipers of the mephitic excretions of their MAGA cult leaders.... you can scream to kingdom come about the derelictions and villainy and turpitude of their leaders... it won't make a difference... in fact... according to their Zombified human sacrificed cult leader... it is a desirable qualification. Jesus loves repentant dastards 99 times more than the normal dupes and promises them with eternal abode in his bosom regardless of the extent or the severity or the length of their careers ravaging humanity and making life hell here on Earth for others.... even if they repent on their death bed in the last hour... as long as they desire to lie on his bosom. But woe to those who do not bend over to be in his bosom... theirs will be everlasting torment and gnashing of teeth and eternal wailing while forever being roasted in an unquenchable interminable inferno. So no matter the villainy... in fact it is better to have been a villain since Jesus' jubilation at the returning of the wayward is 99 times more than for those compliant obeisant dupes who never did anything wrong. You can rightfully say that those villains make Jesus happy... after all they are the very excuse for his weekend of BDSM with domineering strapping Romans in leather uniforms... no?? |

"If we was ready for the green agenda, I'd raise my hand right now. But we're not ready right now. So don't let them fool you like this is a new agenda. This is not a new agenda," Walker said at a campaign stop in Peachtree City. "We're not prepared. We're not ready right now. What we need to do is keep having those gas-guzzling cars, 'cause we got the good emissions under those cars. We're doing the best thing that we can."

You seem to think that the crop of Republicans who support Walker use reasoning for their stance. Walker is supported by idiots who believe the moronic lies about " Creeping communism", "satanic dems" And other chimeras the repugs created that they created to instil a generally uninformed polity. That there is such a huge number of them is a testament to the quality of education and a general coddling of ignorance by a certain party solely because it suits their political ends. To appeal to that group, the dems will have to field a Walker clone.

Of course, people who refuse to vote Dem must be idiots. This is kind of a mindset here, and amongst the party-at-large. And yet, Dems scratch their head about why they are hated so much. They are openly mocking the voters that they so wish they could convert. It is funny. |

Why else would one decide to vote for someone like Walker?

First, I think people would rather vote for someone they see attached to their core values. Whether they are liberal or conservative. I know many, many people who always vote strictly along party lines. I bet a lot of people here do the same. Second, if a party implies "you are stupid and/or evil if you vote against us", then that is very polarizing. And I think Dems are much more guilty of that than Republicans, especially as appearing arrogant. Just look at the rhetoric in this thread. |

Exactly what are the "core values" that you think Herschel Walker espouses that appeal to his followers. Why do you think those values are in any way beneficial to the people of the country? The fact that Trumpy Republitards are dumb should ideally not be a cross that others have to bear and preferably not encourage. Your problem with the "rhetoric" here is that it exposes your foundational racist patriarchal bigotry.

Not really. There's another very simple explanation: they're idiots.
Not because they don't vote Dem but because they vote for people like Walker who is clearly not firing on all cylinders and who has committed the same sins he and his supporters condemn: adultery, abandoned his children, paid for at least two abortions for his girlfriends, and told so many outrageous lies that he is challenging Trump's record. No, we don't wonder about that at all. We know why: Dems don't support or look the other way when its members belong to white supremacy groups, spout antisemitic and racist rhetoric, promote fascism, undermine our democracy, remove a woman's right to bodily autonomy, and a host of other things so many conservatives embrace. What makes you think we want people that incredibly stupid? You don't invite plague ridden rats into your home if you don't want to be infected. A lot of Republicans didn't vote a straight party ticket in 2020 because they were smart enough to see Trump for what he is. They either voted for Biden, didn't vote for either, or wrote in another name. Georgia Republicans could have done the same thing with Walker. Instead, they chose to vote for someone who ...see above... Really? You think Dems are much more guilty of that than Republicans? What world do you live in? You think the rhetoric here is comparable to the violent rhetoric being spewed on right wing sites?Tune into Fox, Newsmax, Truth Social, Parler, 4Chan, Gab or talk-radio. When was the last time Dems held an insurrection because they got whipped into frenzy by hate talk? Give me a freaking break. |

A third candidate in the GA senate race was Chase Oliver who got 81,000 votes. No one who voted for Walker or Warnock is going to change their vote in the run-off. It's Oliver's voters who will decide. Oliver is a pro-gun, anti-cop, pro-choice Libertarian, LGBTQ+ candidate who describes himself as “armed and gay”.
What a conundrum for some voters: pro-gun but pro-choice, Libertarian but gay, "armed and gay"...a homophobe's worst nightmare. |

Nice dodge.
What core values does Walker represent? Paying for abortions? Violence against his families? He does seem to like to play with guns so there is that. Herschel Walker Reveals He Has Played Russian Roulette Multiple Times |

I have absolutely no problem with a Trump supporter hating me. It's a Trump supporter liking me that would worry me.

I wasn't implying anything. There is a stereotypical way that we often expect people to speak. This has nothing to do with grasping their points. Clearly the forum member was making a mockery of him, and I want to understand why. It seems to me his underlying points are solid. Black southern vernacular vs northern white is a fairly well-known distinction in speech pattern/expression. To pretend otherwise is disingenuous. Let the forum member answer for themselves, I suggest. |
