@emptywheel Exactly the point I thought that you had made@JayAckroyd -
@bojacobs Right, and on ideological issues where they differ (surveillance, wars, cronyism) they're often better.@JayAckroyd -
@emptywheel And I think that to refer to them as “crazies” implies mainstream GOP is not crazy, creating a misperception@JayAckroyd -
@bojacobs Yes, my point. Cause on a number of issues they're less crazy. Ex $$.@JayAckroyd -
@emptywheel Thanks for that clarity, & insight. Both of your work makes it easier to feel my Americanness here in Hiroshima!@JayAckroyd -
@bojacobs I keep bringing this convo up because it's hard to understand why GOP acts as it does. "Crazy" seems sloppy to me@emptywheel -
@JayAckroyd Well one reason they act this way is personal electoral success, and fundraising@emptywheel
