      I’m sure a few of them hate watched it.

      Although, a big part of Talarico’s appeal is his method of seizing on conservative tulpas and twisting them to progressive ends.

      If Talarico has a shot at the general, it’s going to be thanks to some number of MAGA voters buying into left populism. A bunch of the interview is just Talarico sayings he’s Christian and asking WWJD about education, health care, and immigration.

      MAGA voters are not as numerous as anyone thinks they are. The problem in our electoral system is the disproportionate gerrymandering and the number of disaffected independent voters who can’t see the difference between Republicans and Democrats, mostly because there is no real difference between Republicans and Democrats.

        The way liberals phrase it, MAGA is everyone who doesn’t vote straight ticket Dem after every election

        Democrats wouldn’t have destroyed all these institutions, some of which area vital for a big number of humans to survive.

        You know. Small difference.

          They have literally helped Trump do everything he has done. And, mind you, Trump is actually competing with Obama in the number of deportations he has set out to commit.
