far as I can tell the parties having consistent electoral success are the ones who get that in this era of reduced attention spans and bandwidth that nobody is gonna look up the nice thing you did for them and so you're in campaign mode 24/7/365, not just 3 months before the election every 2 yrs

We watched 20 Trump rallies. His racist, anti-immigrant messaging is getting darker.

He’s out there giving speeches about race purity while at the same time saying the police need to be more violent and even legal immigrants will have their status stripped… I mean sure you can say he’s not LITERALLY hitler but I think it’s pretty undeniable what his ambitions are
