I can't believe how terribly this is going for the Republicans. They can't stop themselves self.

Wouldn't surprise me tbh. The stereotypical Republican voter isn't known for reading 900+ pages of ANYTHING, let alone policy and strategy proposals 😄

The tend to like the Sparks Notes Jesus who was born and then immediately killed off. There's a whole lot of "liberal talking points" in between those two events and it's just easier to pretend those parts doesn't exist.

The “weird” thing is so hilarious, they absolutely hate it and their only defense is “but drag queens.” They’re so fucking obsessed with LGBQT+ and can’t pivot away from it even as you make them look weirder and weirder.
