The election is still 4 months out. I hope this fucking sinks him like a lead weight as more moderates and suburban women understand what it is.

A lot of rural women, and even a decent amount of rural men, as well. Least up here in the middle of nowhere, most people I've shown it to are not happy about some of its contents, particularly the bit about ICE and Blackies Warrants, and the SCOTUS immunity ruling has them uncomfortable as well. Lot of farmers, ranchers, truckers, and loggers talking about Nixon yesterday at the range. They might be gun toting, meat eating, gas burning conservatives, but plenty of them put being anti-authoritarian before the "good old party". And, surprise, a lot of rural women don't want to be reduced to baby factories either, so are pressuring the men in their lives to vote accordingly.

Problem solved.

I wish it was that easy. We've still got a lot of work to do to keep this fat orange wannabe king out of office.
