Republicans have long projected their dependence on the welfare state for their gated communities. They are weak and afraid because they are so dependant on the people they hope to terrorize into compliance. Do not comply. Grow the distance so they are isolated. They are weak.

@wpgmurat.bsky.social contd /4 Develop a strategy to handle the emotions that seem to rattle him. In the short term, take him out after two quick goals and allow him to reset and then assuming Comrie isn't the star he could be put Connor back in goal later in the game after he resets.
