#DeSantis doesn't care if he wins the fight (BTW he knows he will lose in court). All that matters is that he is seen fighting the fight by the #GOP base. #politics #ConfirmationBias #HardOfThinking

Where have all the fiscally conservative Republicans gone? Are they a myth we tell our children in the fairytales of the #GoodOldDays? Are they made-up characters that never existed? When the Democrats are in power and it is time to create a budget, does the GOP pull out the #FiscallyConservative like we pull out the blow-up Santa Claus on the day after Thanksgiving? Everyone has heard of one, but have you ever actually met one? I'm just asking questions, here. #politics #HardOfThinking

👆 Trouble is, words have power; and their power can be inversely proportional to the intelligence of the listener, and the world has a lot of #HardOfThinking listeners.

It's how big cons like #Brexit and #Fascism work: use the power of words to con the #HardOfThinking. Job done ✔

These people are losing. Not quickly enough, but they *are* losing. ✊

👆 It didn't require votes (from, largely apathetic, #HardOfThinking eejits).

Let's check back on it in, say, a few millennia...! 🙂

👆 Sadly, the #Thickrotariat element of the electorate will swallow it whole, same as the #HardOfThinking always do...
