    The underlying assumption of GOP is that voters will stick to GOP for cultural reasons. I think that assumption is wrong.https://twitter.com/ObsoleteDogma/status/936453040223215617 …

    The remarkable thing is the degree to which Republicans are willing to hurt their voters—upper-middle-class suburbanites—to help their donors.

        You don't think it's that they'll believe the lies that they're going to be helped by this nonsensical bill?

        The underlying assumption is that elections will not be free and fair going forward. How are those sanctions against Russia Congress voted on going?

        Is it an assumption or an accurate reading of history?

        The underlying assumption of the Democrats was that they had the white working class subdued by the unions...so here we are.

        The GOP has thrived driving culture wars. Nothing will improve the critical thinking capabilities of their base than transitioning into real policies that hurt those same people in their daily lives.

        To continue the assumption thread... Underlying assumption here is that GOP demagogues will not be effective in their efforts to scapegoat & distract away any failures by further weaponizing narrative & deeply entrenched flawed ideology via the vast Right-wing #propaganda network

        Right. Upper middle class suburbanites have no cultural affiliations to the GOP beyond "hating liberals" and "proving that I am not poor"
