Hamlet @hamletactual.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Obviously we play to the final whistle and don't let a single voter go uncanvassed, but he's right: these people are going to vote for identity first, and they identify with being Republicans.

Hamlet @hamletactual.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I... am actually a little surprised at this. A little.

They behave essentially like cancer, destroying whatever they get their hands on. The GOP needs to be destroyed. 000
