And you care deeply about what lefties do or think why...?
Who said I cared deeply? I could care less what lefties think. We do need to keep an eye on what they do, and we we do quite a lot of that on FR. Any general or political campaign manager worth his salt recognizes the old maxim “know your enemy”.
Trump’s base will overlook just about anything. Trouble is, we need more than just the base to win elections. If Trump appears to be pandering to Q followers, it will turn off more moderate Republicans and, of course, Independents. The Democrats know this. Biden is a disaster. Their policies are disastrous. Stuff like this is all they got. Sadly, it can work to suppress voter turnout among unenthused Republicans and Independents.
