Just once I would like to have a Republican senator running on an ultra-conservative platform get elected and the reveal they are secretly an ultra-progressive.
You’re talking about Teddy Roosevelt. I know you meant a modern example, but that was very much Teddy Roosevelt.
Not even reveal they’re ultra-progressive*, just sign progressive policy into law, while going, “Huh? What?? I didn’t do that, you’re imagining things!”
You know, like how conservatives openly deny reality nowadays.
Edit: my autocorrect changed “ultra-progressive” to “ultra-conservative”. Chat, has my phone been hacked by the deep state?
I’ve actually given this considerable thought.
The MAGA party seems pretty easy to trick. They don’t believe in facts so you could literally be a progressive behind closed doors, so long as you’re racist in public.
The problem isn’t necessarily the voting bloc. The problem is the Republican establishment. You start voting with the Democrats and Republicans more influential than you will start batting at you. You could fight this by calling out fake news, that your opponents are part of the problem. They are Washington insiders, part of the swamp.
But you really have to have the cult personality to do so.
Fucking hell — I won’t mind if the guy gets another stroke and we can actually get a decent candidate at this point.
Just fucking change parties already. You’ve gone full MAGA. You were full MAGA months ago.
No, this way he still gets that DNC money.
John Fetterman is such a little bitch.
