"they really believe it"/"they will try to do it"/"the promises are real" are things that most americans refuse to believe about politicians but if you take them seriously will help you predict political behavior more often than not

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

A conservative dark money group is running Prop 132 asking voters to put more Coloradans in prison for fentanyl. Is it backed by people who make money off private prisons? Don’t know. It’s dark money.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

You know, if you *really* cared about the wellbeing of women in college, instead of carping about the statistically insignificant number of trans athletes in sports minding their own business, you’d be railing against these Cornell fraternity cretins who drugged and gang-raped a passed-out women:

This is exactly how the right creates popular support for taking away women’s rights. They position anyone with empathy for Clancy as the reason why women shouldn’t vote, serve on juries, have autonomy, or even exist in public. And they use this as propaganda to make those positions seem reasonable.
