    I can see how its a turn off especially if you aren't connecting on the economic issues ("oh you're not gonna help me but you certainly care about other people who aren't me??"), but I agree. Also any messaging about racism/sexism/etc coming from the campaign and surrogates that I saw , seemed to be more ABOUT Trump/Vance/Congressional GOPers/etc, not about their voters.

    Sure, your common Twitter poster most likely went that route, but your terminally online resistance poster isn't the fucking campaign or the party and I certainly wouldn't attribute it to moving the needle to L.

    It's only true in the GOP/Fox bubble...Fox does a great job of reinforcing that on a daily basis. Kind of like the whitewash they are doing on Musk's Heil Hitler episode now.

    I think it's baloney. It's exactly their playbook is all it is. Blame the other side. Reverse reality. Keep saying you don't see or hear what you see and hear. I don't care how many time they say it, it's still baloney....and I'm being polite with that word.

    Agreed… my point was more toward yours about tapping into the undercurrent.

    I know this is the immigration thread, but while we're off topic a bit, can I be pro-abortion access?  Is that acceptable?

    pro gun is such a psychotic view. I mean, that's like calling pro-women's rights "pro abortion". 
    I have periodically over the years tried to explain to forced birthers why no one is "pro-abortion." They never get it.
    I've done that multiple times as well...when their dear leader pushes the bullshit that dems like to abort even after the baby is born it gets really hard to convince them of anything else.
    I know this is the immigration thread, but while we're off topic a bit, can I be pro-abortion access?  Is that acceptable?  
    Weren’t you just getting defensive about me pointing out your gatekeeping in the other thread? 
    Huh?  What does that even mean?  

    To touch on whatever you just said above, no, I was not defensive about anything.  

    I am pro-abortion access.  Does that offend anyone?
