Shouldn’t be turning people away that are apologetic, but don’t think the path to victory lies there. All the people that are sitting out elections are the ones that should be targeted. So few of eligible voters are actually doing so.

I was not aware of this, thank you for educating me.

“He stacked the Supreme Court in his favor (2 of the 3 he appointed helped steal the 2000 election for Bush)”

Finding hard to summon sympathy for someone that would still buy a Tesla after the far right lurch from the owner. I feel terrible for myself, as I should care that 3 young lives have ended, but can’t help but think they were likely enemies of a democratic US.

I feel like this is giving the GOP too much credit. The “old Republican party” never wanted trans in the military, and given how small the percentage of trans people in the US, I don’t know that it will majorly impact readiness. But even if it would have, would have been an acceptable sacrifice to any time period of republicans. To pretend like the Rs of the past wouldn’t have celebrated this at any time is looking back at the past with opaque rose glasses. It is hallucinating a time that never was.
