The Republican/MAGA playbook is as obvious as it is depressingly effective. Each day, they come up with innovative new ways to make the lives of their base worse: be it driving up oil prices, closing hospitals, removing worker protections, defunding schools, and so on.
In a sane world, you might expect the downtrodden and victimized poor to be violently opposed to the smug rich a-holes purposefully ruining their lives. But then the rich guy in the suit just points to some gay guy minding his own business, makes an “ewwww” face, and they rush to put the guy that’s killing them back into office.
