I see it too. Which seems to point to the fact that there are MAGA people who aren’t necessarily blind followers of the president, they really do have an ideology (that has massive overlap with Trump) but there seem to be some beliefs that he can’t move them on.

As the state of the House of Representatives makes quite clear, anytime Republicans have control, there is nothing but chaos. And yet, their odds of retaining control are pretty good. At some point, we have to step out of our bubbles and learn how to engage voters much more effectively

I’m against book banning in every instance except Catcher in the Rye. Not bc it’s obscene, but bc it’s insufferable. It would’ve improved the lives of many high school students & kept John Lennon alive. Instead, teachers could screen Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, same themes and you get Oh Yeah by Yello
