Unlike Kamala however, I think he will do a significantly better job of appearing moderate. As someone else mentioned, all that matters is optics.

I think there were a few polls that said voters perceived Kamala as more liberal than they perceived Trump as conservative. To me this signals that voters didn't believe her when she tried to backtrack on her 2019 views. So she theoretically never should have held those views in the first place.

Given the current media ecosystem, the potential impacts that won’t hit until a few years down the road, and the fact that many people will simply forget about this bill between now and Nov 2026, I’m skeptical of anyone talking about “devastating consequences”.

Is there a world where if he does this, it actually hurts Republican turnout? Since Dems already have a major advantage with the most engaged voters who would likely try and show up regardless of threats.

I also wonder how much of this is "real". This is the same guy that claimed Covid would end by April 2020, and bought Twitter then proceeded to unban Trump. At the end of the day, he ultimately donated hundreds of millions to elect Trump Some Twitter drama doesn't erase all of that.

I think the "evil" side originates from companies knowing full-well that their products contributed to climate change, and then choosing to cover up those findings. Exxon is a good example, they accurately predicted the effects of rising emissions back in the 70s and 80s only to mislead the public.

Ah but what if liberal reaction to it actually makes Elon more likely to continue doing it as a way of "owning the libs"? 3D chess time.

I mean, if Repubs really wanted to shut down the government that badly, couldn’t they just…not even bring up this bill at all? Or even have tons of R’s vote no and shut it down anyway? The narrative in that situation would be different, but the outcome is the same.

Sorry Matt, but you know well sure that if Repubs were in this position, they'd shut down the government and they wouldn't be punished for it because voters forget about it within a month. Same thing happened in 2019.

Average voters disapprove of both the agency layoffs and how Ukraine is being handled. Lean into both of those issues, especially target key agencies that are more salient with voters (cuts to cancer research, weather services, air travel etc.)

Well, the normies voted for whoever they thought would bring down inflation, which isn't an ideology but it is a position. The Dem base is definitely upset at the lack of leadership. Hard to say if the normies are as well. But I think most would agree that ditching the gerontocracy is a good thing.
