(52,848 posts)MAGAs found something more imminently important than owning the libs. I.e. Getting food in their mouths and a roof over their heads. The psyops specialists must have assumed that they would fight the Libs to their dying breath. But, instead, the MAGAs are waking up and realizing that rule no. 1 of the MAGA bible is in jeopardy: holding on to the illusion of self-sufficiency. Oh. And of course theres being led by a pedophile. Rude awakening.

(6,472 posts)That's why the winning message is always about the economy. It's always about jobs. If we have a good economy and strong employment numbers everything most everything else takes care of itself. A campaign on foreign policy is a non-starter, as is a campaign on civil rights. If people can't make their house payment or they are struggling with other bills, they aren't going to give a fuck about helping another country and the aren't going to care about civil rights. If we want to win the midterms we need to stay on message about the economy.

And these are people who rely on government services just as much as Democrats do, they just didnt think they did, until they went away.
