The more capitalist it becomes the more they call it communist.

I don't care that much for Hasan either way but that is a perfect take.

    I'm right there with you. I really think Trump would immediately stop giving a fuck if he got elected again. A second term Trump would have very limited motivation.

    I also wonder if republicans fucked up focusing on the trans thing so hard. They might have picked one of the few issues that will get the left to not sit this one out and actually vote for the Dems.

      Trump's team seems to have already pinned it on abortion, to the point where he quickly course-corrected AND went on record literally stating that the reason for the underperformance on the midterms was because the GOP went too hard on abortion. Keep in mind that this is Trump saving face after the mediocre results were squarely blamed on Trump's candidate picks, but it seems to me that the evangelist right is falling behind DeSantis and not Trump, which signals a separation on the agendas. I guess we'll have to see just how much sway the evangelist right holds over the GOP, but either way both Trump and DeSantis camps agree on how much they hate trans people.
