"This is a perfect example of why the Dems are cooked if they don’t change their playbook. They keep trying to appeal with reason. Here’s a constituency that is literally in danger of losing their entire livelihoods due directly to Republican policies, and still they’re afraid to go against the party or say anything bad. To them, these bad things are just things that are happening, totally unrelated to who they keep voting into power."
"How do you even counter that? How do you possibly convince someone who’s in so deep they’re willing to throw away their own life? Traditional messaging won’t work at all on someone like that — you can’t counter zealotry with logic."
