Trump won an election in 2016. What was that, a majority standing up to the masses? I don't really get it. You can make your bed on either side with basically equal support, there's no David or Goliath here, no matter how much conservatives want to paint themselves as David fighting a juggernaut.

And that she has no principles, well she switched parties overnight. How strong must her liberal principles have been if she can just change to the party of blind Trump loyalty instead. Of course her statement reads like a best of FOX and Breitbart headlines and is just shamelessly pandering to conservatives. Not even trying to be anything less than a mouthpiece for common places. You really think a person with principles and convictions could just so say she's suddenly with those she fought her whole political life? In these times of extreme division? Nah, most certainly not. She just realized she will never become a big shot on the blue team, so she tries for the read team now. Saying all the things you like, things that I could have written for her in five minutes.

Hostile to people of faith and spirituality, when I hear that hollow stupid line alone, I could puke.

You have no idea what you are talking about. She has NOT switched parties. What fake news have you been watching to show that she has? Do you know her policies or you blindly assuming you do. Most of her views are liberal, what distinguishers her is she is an isolationist. 
AOC, when she first ran was against spending money for military ventures, now she did a 180 degree turn and voted for military funding for the Ukraine war. AOC's fans heckled her in a recent town rally for changing and not being consistent as Tulsi. 

Shame on you for assuming Tulsi is a Republican. Learn what her policies are before you write.
