In reply to the discussion: Right wingers claiming a Kavanaugh defeat will rile up the right flank. [View all]jmowreader
(50,557 posts)50. Oh lord...
The old give me what I want when I want it or else gambit.
I wonder if they realize how pathetic this sounds. Look at the Kaepernick/Nike thing. There was supposed to be this yooge boycott thatd kill Nike over that one ad. Besides a couple of RW nuts setting worn-out shoes on fire and posting it on YouTube, nothing came of it. AND Nikes sales are up. Oops.
If Kavanaugh is withdrawn for being a horrific person, the handful of people who still stand behind Trump are going to go to the polls and vote straight ticket R, but they would have anyway. People not in possession of a red hat very well may vote D when they might have stayed home, just to keep Trump from pulling this again.

OP
They were combined to reduce the number. But that does create some confusion.

Yes, it's important to give them our lunch money every day, so they don't get riled up

I disagree. They live in resentment. They'll stay home in nov. if the gop doesn't pay off.

Yeah well, they're going to get riled up about anything. So who cares?
