Excuse me, but you're an absolute (redacted).
The RED is to try and appeal to people like you.
Unfortunately, as he said, some of you are too far gone.
"If you're not with the majority, you're an extremist."

Neither party has any skill in bringing us together. Maybe I'm only noticing this as I get older and that it's always been this way.
The tactic seems to me to try and turn MAGA into the radical fringe, to get moderate Republicans to break them off.
Trump is weakened with all the charges now and the nation needs the Rs to lose in November so that the Republican Party drives the MAGA trump faction out.
That's very clear.
Then we can continue with traditional debates on tax policy and such.
Will Rs accept the notion, or get all backed up and identify with the radical Trumpists?
This is not a bad explanation. I took don't understand the folks who are still willing to look past Trump's, uh, transgressions. You can move away from Trump and still believe in conservative principles.
Thank you.
The weird thing about it is that Trump was more aligned with the Democrats earlier in life. I know he was pro-choice, among many other things.
But his opening was on the right, so he switched and played his cards.
Far weirder still is that the Republican Party took him in and put him up on their stage.
The weirdest bit of all, however, is that truly conservative people began to accept him, get behind him, and voted for him.
I'm talking about the fiscal conservatives - here was a man who was so sloppy financially that he bankrupted joint ventures and small cities.
I'm talking about religious conservatives - here was a man who couldn't provide a single quote from the Bible when asked and who never has been known to have experienced any period of time in life associated personally with church or religion.
And I'm talking about conservatives of character - here was a man so wild with his words and deeds it made everyone's head spin! Tabloid idiot? Grab them by the P? I like soldiers who don't get captured? I mean, is there anybody this person wouldn't insult, all while pushing past the crowd to hold up his own handful of sh*t and declare it didn't stink?
My goodness! What has become of the Republican Party?!?!
Surely, it is a phenomenon tgat should be studied by psychologists the same as Hitler's rise in Germany has been.
Unfortunately, he didn't learn too much with that prior go around.
But thankfully, this radical takeover was halted (at least temporarily and hopefully permanently) in November 2020, and again on January 6 2021.
How it is finally put down has yet to play out. Will it be through Georgia election tampering? NY financial docs fraud? Stolen and hidden Top Secret Documents? November 2022 elections? Other?
I just pray some new wacko of untruths like Kevin McCarthy doesn't take up the baton!
George Bush Sr seems like such the idyllic Republican!
"A thousand points of light."
"A kinder and gentler America."
It's sad…. Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio? Our nation needs you more than you can know.
