General Discussion

And that helped fuel our victories in November. But we were facing diminishing returns as the pain being incurred by those unable to afford food for their family or pay rent or utilities and whose lives were disrupted by the airport chaos grew and folks bearing the brunt of it began shifting to a blame both sides mentality. The reality is that the vast majority of MAGA repubs weren't in favor of caving -- they were opposed, in large part because there was no convincing them that the subsidies would be used to provide health care to immigrants. Sure it was a lie and by fighting that lie we convinced a lot of independents, but we didn't change the minds of a material number of MAGATs, and therefore the thought that the repubs were about to cave is pure fantasy that ignores years of repub callousness and lies.
