This is the same dude who just voted AGAINST student loan forgiveness 🤦🏻♀️
Thomas ZimmerBut all positions deemed acceptable in today’s Republican Party are in line with anti-democratic traditions in conservatism. The key question has always been: How much authoritarianism and militant extremism is necessary to prevent too much democracy for the “wrong” people?
Seth CotlarIf you mount a successful PR campaign that convinces a significant number of previously uninterested consumers to consider buying an unappealing food product, that's called "shifting the Ovaltine Window."
Jef PoskanzerDaylight today will be two seconds shorter than yesterday. Winter is coming.
Charles JohnsonIf only the journalism industry had the same courage as unpaid Reddit moderators, things might really change for the better.
If I was his publisher, I would have insisted that Josh Hawley's book on the supposedly intertwined declines of manhood and America be entitled "Mopey Dick."

There are basically three groups in Republican politics:
1) The (mostly ignorant) voters. They generally have little understanding of policy and are mostly motivated by identity politics.
2) The activists & propagandists. They promote Republican pols, attack Dems, and motivate the voters. True believers.
3) The elite inner circle. These people are totally cynical operators.
