    Democrats said not to, said there’s a virus spreading through raw milk and it could be dangerous. That was all it took. That was the only thing Republicans needed to hear to institutionally embrace Raw Milk.

    Democrats should try launching a “Don’t jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks” campaign. “It’s not safe. The science is clear, gravity is real, and the sharp rocks will hurt or kill you. Just don’t do it. It’s not about restrictions versus freedom, just don’t jump off of cliffs onto sharp rocks.” The next week TPUSA would run an article on how to own the libs at the five highest cliffs in the country.

      Democrats should run ads that say “Republicans say they don’t plan to vote in November, but here’s the reasons why they should”, and just list stuff that’s good for society.

      Republicans would never vote again.

      Haven’t seen enough talk about this, but how much of the Republican under-performance in the midterms is down to Republicans being more likely to die during the pandemic? And Covid is still killing people, and about 43% more of those currently dying are republicans rather then democrats. Given that old people are dying, and old people are more likely to vote, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the political system stabilize around a Democratic majority for a while.

      Ok but gravity is less supported by science than evolution by means of natural and sexual selection. That means theyre more prone to believe in it. “We don’t know how or why it works, Jesus is why”
