@conradhackett Thx for sharing!

When we hear the phrase "we're a center right country" it's an attempt to recalibrate the middle/center.

I believe the right thinks if they go batshit crazy far right they can move that needle. But...the numbers aren't on their side as seen in our last election cycle. 🙌
