there definitely has been a real paradigm shift in the fact that there's more people involved in politics nowadays

at least Tumblr leftists are so obviously odious, whereas Twitter leftists have an air of legitimacy

here's the thing,

the twitter system itself is so manipulative and scummy

most actions by the federal government don't affect everyday Americans

man I wish Nehlen's bill was in effect

yeah, Twitter is supposed to be an apolitical site (so was Tumblr, but Tumblr is supposed to be niche while Twitter is for everyone)

the only real change under Trump that people will notice is the tax cuts,
people might not realize why they have more money left to spend tho

lmao just wondering do you guys think Nehlen is going to beat Ryan during the primaries

no way

he'll lose by 70 point margin

so the fact that Twitter is so stacked in favor of leftists by giving all blue checkmarks to all these Literally Who's and shadowbanning wrongthink ....is worse than some obviously weird otherkin posting on Tumblr

Didn't he lose quite a lot to Ryan last midterm?

ye, he has nothing to really lose at this point

someone who wants to LARP like Nehlen should wait until AFTER they're in office, not before the primary

Stormfagging would carry much more impact from someone who actually can vote for legislation

now, it would massively threaten their reelection chances, but if your objective is to bring a lot of attention to radical ideas, you're better off waiting until you're actually in office

the shallnotcensor bill he put up looks perfect

lmao I was thinking that as well. Nehlen doesn't talk like a radical right-winger or seems like one

Looking at some of the interviews

it'd really even the playing field

he definitely went all out

one idea that popped into my head after thinking about what Macron is doing in France, is this

not sure if that tactic is good enough, I don't think he has a great chance, but watching him speak live he seems amicable to the average person I think

a future radical right winger is better off pretending to be a cuck for years to win office as a leftist, then show his true colors

Oh yeah. Macron is nowhere near left wing. He's more neoliberal, sort of like the Clintons

a shift in the overton window is much more effective when a person in elected office does it rather than a candidate

I mean, take a look at the shithole situation, you have people on Fox and average Trump supporters dissing Haiti, when they'd never dare to before he said it

imagine if someone runs as a generic liberal and wins the Presidency as a Democrat, then turns out to be even more of a radical right winger than Trump...they'd probably lose reelection but it wouldn't matter much

however it's an unrealistic strategy

lol imagine if bernie did that

that kind of stuff is good for fanfiction, but I wouldn't count on it realistically

the kind of person crazy enough to pretend to be the opposite of what they stand for, for so many years in order to avoid suspicion, would be too crazy to actually win

it's like those 4d chess guys who talk about mueller being a Trump agent, you have to take some things the way they are

not everything is some machiavellian scheme

Why do McCain and Flake both have low approval ratings in AZ? Will it turn blue or at least purple?

they're both hated within their own party

I don't doubt it's possible

I thought they had low approval ratings because AZ is shifting more liberal idk

it's partly that

Also, Ted Cruz is hated with both the Republicans and Democrats, but he's really popular here in TX
