Except for the "now I'm safe" part, that quote could also be true for most white Republicans.
When they were voting secretly for Speaker, about half of Jim Jordan's votes disappeared. So those Republicans are lying when they publicly vote for Jordan.
They don't actually believe in what they campaigned or voted for.
Republican politicians are opportunistic liars who are willing to mislead their own constituents if it means they can get more power for themselves.
Homophobia, Anti-antisemitism, sinophobia, misogyny, etc are all very prominent in "The Black Community". And it isn't like republicans like poor white people but that also makes up most of their base.
So if someone thinks they have enough money or "pulled themselves up by their bootstraps": The rest of the platform is pretty compatible. And, if they ever run out of other targets, you get a nice Leopards Ate My Face moment.
Black Americans are a lot more religious than the rest of the U.S. public (for instance, nearly 20% more black people say that “religion is very important to them” relative to the general population). Depending on how people grew up (there’s a good report on black Catholics in the link too), they could pick up a lot of conservative views.
Past that, anyone is susceptible to the allure of simple answers to complicated questions.
What is offensive? The Uncle Tom reference? I mean, he’s literally the definition. Here it is for you:
The term "Uncle Tom" is often used to describe a person, typically a Black person, who is perceived as overly submissive or deferential to white people, often at the expense of their own racial identity or the interests of their community. It originated from the title character of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin," who was portrayed as a loyal and submissive slave.
Considering the Republican party is largely made up of people who have time and again voted against equality, I feel aligning with such a group does in fact support those opinion.
The field is noticeably void of women, because apparently no matter how many times some mutation of the same crusty white man tries and fails, they are still preferable to women..?
That's because they are picking from the existing GOP house members. The GOP representatives are mostly old white men, and even though they've gotten more women recently, the Speaker is usually chosen from representatives who have more experience.
The Democrat demographics actually align much better with their constituents, but women specifically are very underrepresented. (Though still better than the GOP.)
"All of whom" is always correct because of the preposition "of" making it use the object form.
You could drop the "of," but it changes sentence structure to making "who" be the subject (er, I think) like, "Nearly all who voted did so to overturn the election."
But "Nearly all of who voted to overturn the election" is wrong because the subject/object is broken.
IMO it's extraneous for the headline anyway, and should have removed any who/whom, shortening it to, "Nearly all voted to destroy our democracy because they are traitors to the United States and should all be removed from office under the 14th Amendment."
