I live in an area where most people think a certain way. And wouldn’t you know it! Everyone around me thinks that certain way. Extrapolate to all other areas.

Thanks for mentioning this, I’ve added it to my tbr.

I think language is like art. It’s ideal to learn the rules then brek them.

Are you serious? Because they lie. And because they demonize the other side so hard, their base will vote for them no matter what. For example, polling shows most republican voters are not in favor of extreme abortion restrictions. They want abortion up to a certain point and for certain reasons. But when they’re told the other side is murdering full-norn babies, they go for what seems to them like the lesser evil.

This is an example of why I think it’s important to distinguish between politicians and voters when saying *Republicans want X." Because what they want or believe are often at odds. It would help if we could convince the voters of that.
