Oh... my God
My additional thoughts to some objections
To be sure, this is a valid objection, but I just hope people see and understand the optics of this. There was... probably a better way to handle this
Also, it's not like the GOP is any better than the Democratic Party, so the idea that only Republicans can create a proper deal is not really true, see this summary: contra.substack.com/p/wuflu-senate…

The plot against Whitmer that will become yet another narrative with which we will have to struggle looks like a creation of the federal government. The FBI is literally a domestic terror threat, egging people on, then praising itself for thwarting something it helped plan. ImageImage
This is pretty standard. Comes the joke about most of the remaining members of the KKK being feds.
Conservatives will at once buy into this FBI narrative while denouncing the coup and color revolution against Trump and not feel any itch of shame.

The problem Trump's most devoted followers have now is that a lot of other people who either will or may vote for Trump don't see him the way they do. Whereas the former see 4D chess and a "master" everywhere, the latter see a politician 1/
So when a politician says, "if you want direct aid vote for me or you get nothing," that's all the former hears: a politician making his victory a condition for the aid some families need because Republicans and Democrats both have embraced the COVID narrative to some extent 2/
The 4D chess stuff -- whether it is millions of sealed indictments to art of the stimulus deal now -- has the most currency with Trump's devoted followers. If the kneejerk reaction to the other group, who is less fervent than they, is to chew them out for not trusting the plan 3/

There isn't a word in the English language to accurately describe the idiocy of Michael Beschloss Image
Seriously, why is @BeschlossDC so stupid? Image
A cursory Google search indicates Michael is actually a complete moron Image

Remember how Karl Rove and Dana Perino said that what really gets Latinos going is TaX CuTs and aNtI-SoCiAlIsM talking points? No, it's this, it's law and order, it's physical security from idiot BLM agitators. You want more Latinos? Bring on the positive caudillo politics.
The last thing said in Spanish is: "Call the police." Why are Republicans are so utterly bereft of testicular fortitude that they can't see and act on the fact people want security over pandering and criminal justice reform?
Also, there are certainly good people who are the fence, needing to be convinced, so a huge issue is not having politicians that can frame arguments to counter prevailing narratives without resorting to imbecilic slogans like "the 1994 Demokkkrat crime bill was racist!"

Liberal white women who prefer pandering to minorities over keeping communities safe are not a demographic I care about or the GOP should care about. Ignore them, because law and order is broadly popular across sane demographics (see graphic). washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/…
1) yes, Republican women can be liberal, and here is an example 2) white liberal women see minorities as virtue trophies, as ways to make themselves feel magnanimous, but the policies they favor actually hurt the communities they pretend to care about. Ignore them.
"But liberal white women don't like tough on crime policies, so I guess we have to just accept rioting, looting, and jailbreak bills😔" LOL no, grow a pair and get off your knees

More than BLM, antifa, etc, journalists pose bigger threat to American stability than anything else
You have a class of people stoking hatred, feeding on hatred, lying to excuse hatred, and they are basically untouchable
Someone says something like what Chris Rock said or something worse, and it is the job of journalists to 1) deny it was said 2) "put it in context," i.e., justify what was said 3) in either case their function is not to inform or take a disinterested view but to gaslight
