If simplicity is the key to good communication, a woman running to be the governor of Georgia has made it extremely easy for voters to know her priorities.
That’s because Kandiss Taylor is running in the GOP gubernatorial primary with a campaign slogan of “Jesus Guns Babies.”
Taylor’s website says she’s an educator with two decades of experience, but for some reason she chose not to put commas after “Jesus” or “Guns.”
Although Taylor probably intended the slogan to be red meat for conservative Georgia voters, it started trending on social media after it turned out to be appetizing to snarky Twitter users too.
"Jesus guns babies" is a hell of a campaign slogan. pic.twitter.com/cS6UzO3UgR

Only in the mind of a Christian nationalist is "Jesus, Guns, Babies" ideologically consistent. https://t.co/0sr1yYdZU3

Jesus Guns Babies is trending on Twitter, and I feel like there should be a Wordle-type game for guessing the context. pic.twitter.com/LwJarQt85a

This would have been an amazing late 90s Nirvana album. https://t.co/ueItRXrI3G

Jesus Guns Babies sounds like the name of an early 2000s screamo band https://t.co/oYw9Oc892x

Georgia gubernatorial candidate: “Jesus, guns, babies.”

Georgia ranks 38th in the nation in child and family well-being and firearms are the first-leading cause of death among children and teens in the state. I’m guessing she won’t make this better… #gapol pic.twitter.com/H0raJ7a9BE
I did not see this coming from Republican Jesus who apparently spreads the gospel by the bullet as he guns down babies

Someone like this is impossible to satire because they ARE satire. pic.twitter.com/ohPVNHsYCT
Jesus Guns Babies are like Muppet Babies but crazy and fascistic. https://t.co/Bqq9yiy7VN
