It shows how out of touch House Speaker Ron Mariano is that he acts like 1994 was just a few years ago.

He explicitly did not say that in the statement; he says they appeal to the same type of people, not that they are working towards the same goals
actually I don’t think Zohran going “oh yeah me and ****Donald Trump**** have lots of the same politics something something working class!!!!1” is a particularly good sign. I think it’s actually a very worrying sign!
Ok, pretty funny of Zohran’s people to put out the absolute model of the sort of statement that drives Bluesky absolutely *insane* to be studiously ignored On Here because of the source
