Very shitty people who become opposed to other very shitty people are still very shitty people
LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people
MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well
STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people
MTG: I'd like for you to respond to that

"Underestimating how shitty Republicans are and will be" is the signal analytical mistake in US politics, by journos, pundits, normies, everyone. Again and again and again. And again.
There's something deeper going on that prevents us -- the collective us -- from internalizing the reality.

"people won't worry about how expensive health care is once we deal with how expensive gas, food, and housing are" is the kind of irrational optimism previously found only in those 32 year old middle managers who think they could win a set against Serena Williams
“.. Some GOP strategists .. voiced confidence that by the time the midterms roll around, health insurance won’t be voters’ top concern, especially if the Trump administration can meaningfully lower the cost of food, gas and housing.

White privilege is just a fancy way of saying “you don’t have to deal with racism”, it doesn’t mean you have a Rolls Royce and a staff of servants.
It does mean you don’t have to worry about ICE tackling you in the hallway because a neighbor said you “look illegal.”
