     @Remittancegirl @StillIRise1963 the GOP this time around had extremely targeted messages to racial groups. GOP messaging to

     Latino voters
     Muslim voters
     MAGA faithful
     Liberal / centrist voters

     Was all very carefully calibrated and absolutely nothing alike. And none of that shit leaked out, like, I don’t remember seeing any news stories on how drastically different the message was

     media discipline was uncanny

     Can you imagine Dems tailoring their message

     @StillIRise1963 I'm not defending Biden's stance on aid to Israel at all, but come on - Trump imposed a 'Muslim ban' in his first term. FFS...
