Exactly, but many were led to believe, against their best interests, that this was the man to address their perceived grievances.

Seems he is campaigning off a circumstance his party helped instigate. What an effing pr*ck.

We’re well past unhinged. They literally encourage or downplay violence against their political opponents. That’s one of the key pillars of fascism.

Quite a bit, as it turns out. Starting with decorum, comity and common decency.

I have no words for Youngkin that the group here would not hit out of the Park.

I grieve for the people he addressed those loathsome words to.
