I’m glad you fucked that up. Please, for the love of all that is fucking holy, never refer to these conspiratorial cabals as “think tanks.”

Well you don’t expect the GOP to actually write legislation do you?

That would interfere with their real work - talking batshit nonsense, owning the libs, going on Fox, raking in money, kissing the MFWWNBN’s ass…

It is no way connected to any kind of thinking.

It means that Heritage is a laughable right-wing group of political misfits and professional assholes.

Hans Von Spakovsky is a well-known and widely-ridiculed right-wing operative who specializes in voter suppression and racist dog-whistles.
