This is a thread from few weeks ago (from my other account when I was in time out) about moderates and disaffected Republicans turning on Trump.

I'd like to share two text messages I got over the weekend.

1/ https://twitter.com/AlbrightSallie/status/1268034615828254720
First, the good news:

"Sally I know we haven't talked in awhile but I wanted to say I'm finally seeing your point about Black people being treated differently by the police. And that's hard for me to say."

If you knew this person, you'd understand what a turnaround this is.

Also this:

"You know how disillusioned I am with the Republican party but the one thing what will make me vote for Trump is if [Snooty New England College] has to change its name."

The Left always overplays their hand and drags the rest of us down with them.

3/
IDK if it's everywhere but there's an ad running on DC cable about "Defund the Police"

A phone rings in an empty room. Voicemail says, "Press 1 for rape, Press 2 for home invasion, Press 3...(and so on) For everything else, leave a message."

It's powerful.

4/
We scoff at "culture wars" but these things matter to voters we need.

My GOP friends say we lost 2016 because we trotted out Bernie and Warren the last two weeks and reminded people about taxes and socialism.

We know there were other factors but I'm sure that didn't help.

5/
So, two steps forward, one step back.

The original thread is about how many people are moving in our direction. That's still a positive development.

We have to make sure we don't scare them off with performative bullshit.

Re-upping this thread about the effort in Alabama to remove a Confederate flag from private property.

This is an important point that I'd like to emphasize.

We don't need to "appease" the Bernie Left.

Let them keep squawking about socialized medicine and rigged primaries and banning cheeseburgers (GND)

They're making us look good to voters we need.
