folks who have been in sort of the political war rooms for the most successful democratic candidates make of the sort of cynical, as kim is saying, political bet that desantis is making and a long-term sort of branding as being indifferent to protecting kids, indifferent to death, indifferent to sickness? yeah, not a great bumper sticker, right, nicolle? so it should be a political loser. i do think what desantis and others are accurately reading is where the republican primary electorate is, where so much of the social media energy is and donor energy. where it should be a political loser is in a general election. and so that is going to be the question. when you look at where the american people are on anything from did joe biden win the election, should we remain a democracy, should everyone get vaccinated, should we have mask mandates when we need them, you know, is climate change real, should we have background checks on guns, all of these enjoy support of 66% to 90% of the
creating or crafting some sort of change from the white house, unlike we have seen post other historic shootings? right. you were seeing a lot of number from the young students who are pretty eloquent about basically saying the oldest generation and the democrats and republicans, people taking money from the nra, and they are usually using language that has a social media energy around it. sort of the badge of shame. whether president trump and republicans and democracies are shunned on the big issue is a open question. the reality is that the nra in 2016 spent more money on ads supporting donald trump than any other candidate, about $11 million.
