    This shit is predictable right down to a T.

    Calling it now - Tom Cotton 2024. Can see this coming a mile away, they are going to lose the House in 2022 and set the stage for a competent fascist in 2024.

      Tom Cotton isn't charismatic enough and isn't doing "plausible deniability" with his racism, he won't be the next Trump

        Did you look at exit polls? Trump got the most black voters of a Republican candidate since the 1950s. And he was out and proud with his racism, right down to the point of saying he "did more for the blacks than any president since Lincoln" and his absolute hatred during the height of the BLM movement. Republicans also did well with Latino voters and minorities across the board.

        Working class voters are moving back to the Republican party, something that should scare the fuck out of the left, since they are winning over the working class. It proves that all the ID-POL stuff that liberals and half of the left here obsess with, are not working cause it's all bullshit. People are resonating more with their income level and voting based on that.

        All Tom Cotton has to do is start talking about the wealth inequality and say he is going to fix it, and it won't matter with his charisma. That will be enough to do something, cause we're looking at another far right reactionary movement as a result of Biden's austerity and the great depression we're in.

          Wealth inequality isnt up for discussion, it's off the table. Elections arent about policies, they're about feels. Tom has no feels.

          and it won’t matter with his charisma.

          this sounds like you're saying he's so charismatic he can pull it off, did you mean his lack of charisma won't matter?

          We should alienate the overwhelming majority of POC working class folks (who will be the majority of the working class soon if they aren't already) because Trump made some marginal inroads?

      I'm actually thinking we haven't seen the last of Donald Trump. He's 100% eligible in 2024 and the base still fucking loves the guy.
