Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

This! When you say "Listen, Reagan and the Bushes and Trump are the same," you're actually reassuring low-info voters that Trump isn't a crazy choice, because unlike Bluesky folks, millions of Americans would vote for those guys again.
They didn't understand that "this isn't your parent's GOP" is exactly why Biden won. Because comparing Trump to Reagan is to almost all conservatives, an in kind donation to Trump.
But pointing out the voters principles weren't what changed, it was the party that broke their pledge to them, works.

People can't seem to grasp that difference, which is in part how the left started to lose the public (who to this day don't see Reagan the same way they do). "Reagan is the same as Trump" is like a free ad for Trump.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.
His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.
This is now very obvious.
