long game with u.s. public opinion. they re already aware this is the thinnest of wedge of some republican opinion on the far circles of the gop that perhaps the war in ukraine is something that has nothing to do with u.s. interests. you can see that in florida governor ron desantis message that you were just referring to, where he said this war is not strategic for the united states and is essentially a waste of money, and that s why stalwarts like lindsey graham have attacked back and said, no, this is something that needs to be this is about a war of good and evil, and a wore of democracy versus authoritarianism. that s why support for ukraine needs to continue. i think you can see the attempt by that, by an atoly,
in fani willis, and the example they have come up to justify with it, they re saying it s not about willis. it s actually about another prosecutor from 2021 who went to prison for corruption. and the response to that is pretty obvious, right? that was 2021. and you re now just two terms later getting this bill up. and the reality is, if they re saying there was no way to deal with that prosecutor who was corrupt, well, he was dealt with in exactly the right way. he was prosecuted, he went to prison. this looks like the thinnest of excuses to control willis. and a fun way to try to do trump s bidding and punish a prosecutor he s afraid of. joyce vance, thank you. still ahead, a comprehensive look at the ways ron desantis is looking to make florida a safe space for conservatives while everyone else can pound sand. n d with intelligent alerts when a person or familiar face is detected. so you can listen in.
of a shared public good that could be put into practice through governing. here s the other thing about it, it s not good politics. it s clear the voters don t like it. they rejected this kind of politics in 2018 in 2020. and most remarkably, especially in 2022, winter mcgrath made appeals for democracy against margaret stream-ism a key component of their election strategy. many candidates who embrace this kind of coup sympathizing troll populism. at least the ones who aren t gerrymandered lost. and often, they ran reliably well behind more conventional republicans. but because of structural advantages and the reality of gravity, republicans still merit managed to narrowly flip the house by the thinnest of margins. which is now where in the current predicament. the most extreme are the key leverage points within this party. they control the party s fate. in order to win, kevin mccarthy has spent the week giving them
reductive. the idea of trying to condense and synthesize in a way that is eliciting an evoking of additional reaction. and that s part of what is happening. the midterms are a test for the party in power and democrats, by the thinnest of margins, are the party in power, through a global pandemic that has driven malaysia and major entrenched economic problems and all of those right now are overpowering what democrats were hoping could be a debate about women s rights or reproductive rights or democracy or any of these other things. anytime we fill up the gas pump, you are faced with the implications of this and anytime you are pay or your grocery bills you are facing the implications of this and whether or not it is democrats fault or whether it would have happened to a republican president and marginally republican-led congress doesn t matter because right now it s a referendum on the party in power. so, that s where we are. but i think when we are making the closing arguments for the
something that if the republicans were there, that they would be able to snap their fingers and fix. i think the point you re probably going to make too, the point of the midterms or the point of talking points is to be reductive. the idea to condense and synthesize in a way that is evoking an evisceral reaction. yeah. and that s part of what is happening. the midterms are a test for the party in power. a and the democrats by the thinnest of margins are the party in power through a global pandemic that has driven malaise and major entrenched economic problems. and all of those right now were overpowering what democrats were hoping could be a debate about women s rights or reproductive rights or democracy or any of these other things. every time you fill up the gas pump, you re faced with the implications of this. every time you pay your grocery bills, you re faced with the implications of this. and whether or not it s democrats fault or whether or not it would have happened to
