If it has to be the incompetence that stems from the base, craven character of the current GOP rather than that character itself that leads to their losses, I'll take it -- even if I am depressed by it.

 

The GOP propaganda edge (oligarch money+all the networks) will create problems for them after a certain point.  You can’t force people to eat **** when it’s obvious that it is ****.

I'd like to believe voter are this intellectually interested in government as government, but I just don't believe it anymore. I think if the GOP gets swamped it will be over a much more mundane concern  - inflation.

I blame the schools being instructed to stop teaching civics, among other things.

Platner has an interesting lift. He has to persuade the voters the person he use to be was a stupid, provocateuring grunt and is now a grown ass adult. The first question is whether it's actually true and the second is whether he can persuade voters even if it is.
