Ron has words @ronsering.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I guess the GOP internal poll showed them that a few days ago, which explains the sudden added attention. IMO a lot of members of the Dem coalition need to learn that what soars in Manhattan NY, for example, is going to sink in Manhattan, KS. 010

Ron has words @ronsering.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Good point. Still, he's going to try. Based on TFG's track record, whatever attempts at subversion that take place are likely to be cartoonishly inept.
