I was talking to a Republican committeeman that I'm friendly with. Won't say which county, don't want to give him away. I asked about GOTV. He looked despondent. I asked him what was the biggest problem. What he said in the next tweet: "The Legislature and the SoS fucked us.

Now, don't get me wrong, I haven't had a Budweiser or Bud Light /1 In the time I've been legal to drink, because, well it just isn't good beer. I'm not a huge beer fan in the first place, but if I'm going to drink one, I'll have a good one thanks..

I'm not picking on Doug specifically, but rather using this as totem for the RDS bandwagon.

Let's say Doug is right about the legal side of it, and given that the legislature can override actions of a specific group or board, he likely is.

It is my experience that the bandwagon is full of upper-middle class white men in suburbs and exurbs. They're mostly libertarianish supply siders in professional or quasi-professional jobs, and they follow a certain profile.

Which doesn't understand what Disney represents to the average middle class person
