MAGA voters actually love progressive policies. They just don’t know it. This would be great for Democrats.

Tweet from Kim Schwan Why don't we do election year like The Masked Singer? Every politician is disguised, has to tell us their plans and debate with distorted voices. We don't know their gender, race, or party. Winner rips off their mask on election night and boom! New president!

So I work for a grant that is completely funded by one of Biden’s Policies. It’s been the most rewarding job and I’ve never made this much in my life. We paid off one car that we shared for two people and just bought another die to the EV tax cuts from Biden. Overall Biden has provided so much!

The only problem I have with this is you could easily end up with Matt Gaetz. He wanted to ban Congress from owning stocks, he wanted term limits, and he doesn't take corporate PAC money. All of that would be super appealing to progressives until you unmask him and see he's a pedophile.

I’ve been watching a lot of call-in debate shows. When MAGA callers call in and the host describes their political ideology, the MAGA caller often agrees with them. They, however, begin to pull back when the years of misinformation/manipulation causes them to self-monitor.
