    The funny thing is that on paper it would be very easy for the Republican Party to gain voters and continue to get everything they want.

    But they always end up going down this route of appealing to a shrinking Evangelical radical base. The anti-SJW movement was the best thing they had in years and turned it into a joke with their “woke” obsession.

      The problem with the anti-SJW grift was always that there were like 5 videos of 3 different activists that kept going through re-runs, at the end of the line there wasn’t enough fuel for the fire of outrage that it fed upon.

        True, but I think the emergence of Antifa helped fill that gap. I remember when “Antifa destroyed by patriots” would get millions of views. But even that was mostly repeated clips of the same four or so knockouts.
