    I kinda hate this framing because it makes it seem inevitable and ever-present. Even on the right it’s more like 5% true hate, 28% normal Republican who does not find true hate disqualifying. There’s plenty of reason to discredit that or disagree with it etc but it’s not the same as being in the 5%.

    I was just listening to an interview with an evangelical who was lesser-of-two-evils on Trump, he’ll vote for Trump but he’s not a True Believer.

      But if the 28% are still voting for the true hate, how does that not make them complicit in what the hateful government is doing? Knowingly voting for the hateful option puts the 28% in the same pen as the 5%.

        I think they’re saying that it’s something we can solve, not that we’re good.

          I’m pretty sure the only thing that would solve this is re-education camps for all registered Republicans lol. Those people are divorced from reality. Even the never trumpers don’t believe in climate change.
