When I say randomly to @driftglass.bsky.social "Hey Driftglass, 38%," he knows exactly what I'm talking about: "The Sarah Palin Floor" -- 36-39%.
These are the toilet heads into which Fox News shits all day.
Watch for that range ALWAYS in the "folks that approve of Trump and Republicans."

Never forget that, just under the skin, your Never Trump "allies" are the same "Both Siderist" hacks they always were and have the same contempt for you they always had. But now they are free to spread their bullshit via the "Liberal media" which they were allowed to colonize.

"Penance?" I have a lot to say about the decline and fall of the GOP, but I'm not a Democrat and I'm not paying penance to a party whose excesses and feckless decisions *also* had a lot to do with the rise of authoritarian populism. (Populism was once a thing among the Democrats.)
Why were you ever there..? where were you when Project 2025 came out? Hope you donate to Dems as penance big time.. for us all, Work to change out all GOP in elections ahead

There is absolutely no way to "both sides" this.
One party, the Democrats, is aware of the problem and wants to lower premiums.
One party, the Republicans, doesn't know how insurance works but sure hates anything Obama.

This isn’t enforcement. This is harassment.
They’ve grabbed people off the street for how they look, separated families, and scarred communities with masked agents with guns.
