I know how they can take back the narrative. They could have the police go in the middle of the night, guns drawn, round the conservative’s families’ up, threaten them not to talk to anyone about it, in sight of the whole neighborhood, and count the Republican governor to do nothing about it. Just force the Republicans to shut up by threats of being SWAT-teamed. Boom! The conservative narrative is finished. But nobody would really be able to get away with that.
Well played.
