It's not a "hack" when it's your own people, RNC.
The Ionesco play Rhinoceros should be made into a summer blockbuster in 2022.
I have no intention of allowing anymore hopeless Trump humpers into my life. The fact that I have two uncles who are completely in the tank for the doofus is bad enough. One of them is a fundamentally awful, greedy, selfish person so unfortunately the appeal of Trump was just natural for him and has only emboldened his racist views as well. Keeping both of them at arms' length has been my strategy for quite some time now, and I'm much happier and mentally healthier for it. Sorry not sorry if that offends you.
Haven't read it, but I see it's on the shelf at our city library, so I'll pick it up.
What always gets me are the otherwise-moderates (you know, like me) who don't see Trump and Trumpism for what it is and just dig in further to that side.
The problem is that true "moderates" get attacked from both sides in the current political climate. So they just keep quiet.
My general views on low taxation and smaller government require fewer laws but vigorous enforcement - and sadly that simply is impossible in a realpolitik way.
I've learned over the years that a majority of people who call themselves "moderate" don't necessarily hold moderate views (not saying this is you). They might be moderate within the spectrum of their circle of friends, but let's say they attend a very conservative church or they are ex-military. In that case they are probably solidly conservative and some of their friends are full-on nutso. Such people just don't want to identify as conservative to strangers and acquaintances because they (rightfully) fear confrontation, mocking, and retaliation from people they don't know very well. It's kind of like how the definition of "libertarian" has been twisted over the decades as the far-right has adopted the terms "conservative-libertarian" and "conservatarian" as a way of distorting language to temper and thinly veil their fascist bullsh*t.
Self-Proclaimed Moderate: "I'm a moderate - I don't believe in shoving gays back into the closet (though I wish they'd tone their parades down), and I think there should be rape/incest exceptions for abortion restrictions. Fck those lazy welfare queens though, they should get a job and stop living off my tax dollars!"
That's why people who put labels on other groups are morons.
Many Nazis would have a non-Nazi friend, but more non-Nazis would not have a Nazi friend.
Go figure.

Tucker Carlson wants a camera to be installed in every classroom so people can make sure critical race theory isn’t being taught. Very creepy.

“Republicans don't want to help Biden succeed; they want to make every effort to ensure his failure. They don't want to govern; they're desperate to stop Democrats from governing. With Biden in office, the GOP has a guiding principle: Failure is the goal.”
