    “It’s really hard to radicalize Republicans. You know, it’s – we’re not the radical type.”

    They really just say whatever the fuck they want lol. Q Anon, Tea Party, Jan 6? The vast majority of political shootings in the last twenty years? As if we haven’t all seen the comments ON Fox News saying the most radical shit imaginable.

    It’s really crazy how reality has just become totally irrelevant.

      There’s some accidental truth there though. When the entire party refuses to disavow blatant corruption, political violence, and unconstitutional actions taken by its members, how can they have extremists? Any rational people have been weeded out of the GOP, it’s only extremists now.

      Don’t even have to look backwards. Try to imagine any public figure in “Liberal Media” saying half the shit they’re saying right now, but about Republicans.
