Saw an exchange this guy had with someone on UK arms to Israel and how its no big deal. And honestly the combination of utter self confidence and utter ignorance, which would be offensive at the best of times, is really something else when we're talking about genocide.

We have long departed the realms of actual pragmatism where you appeal to both your base and the swing vote. We are now in the realms of reactionary pathology where you hold your base vote and their values in sincere contempt while chasing a concept of a swing voter that is 100% illusory.
