Trump reminds them of their pastors.
Formerly Republican ticket-splitter descendant of Texas Scalawags. I haven’t voted for a single GOP since they announced they’d crater the nation to make Obama a one-term president. Architect, archaeologist, autism dad.

On the other hand, a few news cycles devoted to Stephen Miller:Trump's Brain back in January probably would have finished him and pre-empted much agony.

I love the foreground, the rich tonal colors of the reflections and the buildings, but the perspective and light pull the eye elsewhere. Cut it down, add some rewarding detail in the distance, or add something in the foreground to pull the eye there. It’s too good to toss.

All these discussions about “the message” really need to include “the channel.” In communications speak that is as important as the message. I’d like to see smart discussions about how pro-democracy messages overcome a very slanted (biased and propaganda heavy) media ecosystem (the channel).

Past experience suggests this number is low. Plenty of Americans are too thoroughly vested in MAGA to admit they're wrong, and many of those are likely too embarrassed to admit they'd remain true to a child molester, even to themselves.
