            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.Merkin Baller said:

 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.Merkin Baller said:
