Shit guy, this has been a consistent take of yours and throwing minorities under the bus didn't fucking work then. Why would it work in the future? You couldn't make it clearer that you don't actually care about validating and enabling fascism, just team sports.
"It doesn't poll well" is also just objectively false- every Republican running for congress that has made anti-trans shit the focus of their campaign has gotten their nuts stomped in the polls.
"just win" is so fucking funny Let's extend the sports analogy, your team just lost a freebie and it's 4 years till the next game. This is when you watch replays and figure out what happened, not whatever this shit is.
