“America First doesn’t always in line with the conservatism, either from economic or culture.”

That’s the point.

American Conservatism needs something to conserve.
I believe that’s the thrust of MAGA.

Your points regarding AF are generally spot on.
BUT . . . (and ya knew there would be a but.)

It’s a Republic for American Citizens, and LEGAL residents, all following our Constitutional order.
Your qualifying statements about gays, muslims, and the hit on Christians are distractions.

Hamas is not welcome in America. Broadly, Islam as a governing order can’t work in Western Civilization. That battle has raged for 2,000 years.

In America, there should be no “license” to get married. (look up the shocking history of it in the US). You do what you want to do.
It’s no business of the government who you share your life with. Children are an entirely separate issue and have not much to do with “marriage” anyway.
Any “benefits” individuals want agree to should be as a contract, enforceable under simple contract law.
I die, you get my stuff.

The old “Moral Majority” is a ghost of it’s past. Too many “Christian Summer Camp” issues to survive.

My friend, it’s an 80/20 issue.
We agree on the 80.
Peace to you.

Which is why Obergefell v. Hodges was a flawed decision.

I actually don’t have any disagreement with you. Just wanted to elaborate and pointing out one issue that will be pushed to split MAGA, especially if it involves SCOTUS again.

That is probably the stupidest thing I have read today.

The last time this dumb idea was tried it was in France after their "revolution" and resulted in any number of abandon children.

Oh dear sweet baby cthulhu. What do you think legal marriage is?

I give up.

I award you no points and may the flying spaghetti monster have mercy on your soul.

“”””In America, there should be no “license” to get married. (look up the shocking history of it in the US).””””

Shocking that Jefferson had a marriage license and did divorce law, that George Washington paid for his nephew’s marriage license, that Revolutionary War widows had to be legally married to collect their dead husband’s pension?
