Tonight showed us that the more Trumpian a Republican is, the better their political fortunes

1. Does this surprise you?

It's a testament to just how uneducated the Republican base is. It's the fundamental basis of Trumpism.

3. This goes beyond the Republican base

If only the base was voting for these people, they'd lose. Others are putting them over 50%

2. If the people I encounter at work

and I use the word "people" very loosely here, are any indication, they would ratchet their support to eleven if he changed "lock her up" to "kill them all". I'm so thankful we have a check now on this administration by taking the house, but the point you made is being overlooked. The more extreme the rhetoric from the repukes, the better they performed with their utterly deplorable base.

5. Oh yeah. They are somewhere beyond earth. They are a captured people and fully in for Trump.

It hasn’t happened here before, but here we are. They would love to kill us all, because in their minds, we are not humans, and they have the guns.

The kick is, they do not realize it is them who stopped being human by any measure in the history of the world. Maybe a comparison would be the ancient Romans who drank and bathed in lead.
