    "pls tell me what i should be saying"

    i don't see how this is some weird smoking gun or something, are people not aware this is literally how american politics works? the main party apparatus literally sends out talking points and congressional representatives just mimick those talking points and then ask the party chairs (whoever it may be) what they're allowed to say on what hot topics

    Conservative posturing has totally reversed my thoughts on the Dems getting slapped around in the upcoming elections. All these extreme changes by these red states will prove to do a lot of harm.

    Dems don’t even have to do anything like they’ve been doing anyway, Republicans will hand it to them.

    This definitely is only true for people in the online sphere. You're vastly underestimating what the biggest voting block (middle aged/boomers, esp. in swing states) prioritize and where their voting habits lie. Republicans could literally vote to send a nuclear bomb down on california and you can be sure boomers would still vote for them so long as primary issues are housing prices, gas prices, tax, inflation etc. coupled next to the ability for radio & media hosts to say "the left has gone crazy on social issues!"

    You might be right idk. I just feel like they leaning wayyy too hard into the hard right s***. To the point where it’s a lot more detrimental than it usually is.

    I mean this might f*** DeSantis if it negatively affects a huge block of the state immediately but idk about the midterms.

    according to opinion polling DeSantis has only gone up and up basically, at least for his target demographic.

    Important to note they designed the law to not pass until after the governors election.
