It’s almost as if effective advocacy and leadership, whether for good or evil, can shape public opinion, and it’s possible to work to frame issues instead of passively responding to the way the opposition frames them and accepting their characterization of what is “moderate.”
Rare for a public poll, we did a survey experiment to test whether priming respondents about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia impacts support for Trump's broader immigration agenda. It does. Support for blanket deportations fell 20 points after hearing about Garcia's case.
It's hard to effectively advocate when the news media works for the opposition.

The only thing I can think of that would be in his Presidential Library is his Sharpie drawing of the hurricane path.
I don't really expect him to build one, just fundraise for one as a grift.
I will anyway.
Lil Vocal Feminization Surgery.
Taking "in the hospital" literally, Lil Blood Sample.
The one bright side I can see is his elaborate scheme to give it to his Presidential Library so he can keep using it after he leaves office, implies that he intends to leave office at some point.

I propose one exception to the Shut the fuck Up rule: if you are Musk or one of his renfields — yes you are absolutely smarter than the feds and you should definitely continue talking.
The feds are on his payroll, so of course he'll talk to them.
See, there's a big dial that candidates can turn from "left" to "moderate," and when they do so they will be richly rewarded by the 0.00001% of voters, all in blue states, who are professional centrist pundits.
Actual swing voters will shrug at the loser energy then vote to make their lives worse.

And that attitude is why your fence has remained broken. Congrats on being the reason Trump is in power.
Sorry I didn't singlehandedly call a Constitutional Convention. My bad.
Its like having a yard with a rotting, 200 year old fence around it... and complaining that there are holes in the fence that let your dog escape and thus fences can't work. No, fences can work, you just need to build them right and maintain them well.
OK, but fixing it requires a constitutional amendment, which means 3/4 of the states have to buy in. It's like if fixing the fence required your dog to cooperate.
Or you could also advocate for government to have proper levers in place to prevent leaders from abusing their power... that way you don't need to completely screw over the entire country just to protect yourself from a bad leader.
We're seeing now, in realtime, that that doesn't work.
Leading stories on NRO right now. Great job guys.

BTW, the National Review can kick rocks.
No argument there, they suck. But they're a symptom of a larger problem.
That's insane, but you be you.
That's reality. Sooner or later people will vote the Republicans back in. Probably sooner rather than later. We need to legislate defensively.
