GOP Senate hopefuls once dismissed as ‘fringe’ by elites are now in positions to win.
Republican outsiders written off by their own party leadership and considered easy pickings by Democrats have defied the odds to make their races highly competitive, with some now tipped to win.
Democrats were so confident that some of these candidates labeled "far-right" or "fringe" by the media wouldn't win that Democrat campaigns and outside groups actually funneled money to them, thinking they'd be easier opponents in a general election than Republican primary hopefuls deemed more moderate or part of the GOP establishment.
I feel like if we accept that having more Qanon psychos in positions of power radicalizes their base further then maybe we shouldn't fund them. This somewhat hinges on the chicken and the egg scenario are psycho candidates radicalizing their base or does the bas radicalize the candidate. I think it's a little of A a little of B.
It's a synchronic phenomena. It's them looking at the racism dial, and the crowd seeing how far they will turn it, to a degree because neither of them think it's connected to anything.
Expect the problem is that it is connected to stuff, just at the borders where nobody reports anything.
