An unpopular opinion [View all]

If you think that all Republicans are MAGAts, you just might be as delusional as the MAGAts who are telling that tale. Not all Republican voters are MAGAts who support Trump.

If you think that there are NO Republican voters paying attention to the Jan-6 Committee hearings, you just be as delusional as the FOX-News people who insist this is the case.

If you believe that Trump will run in 2024 and win, you just might be as delusional as his ever-dwindling base who think they have enough votes to elect him in 2024 when they didn't have enough votes to re-elect him in 2020.

If you believe that the PTB in the GOP are going to back a known loser in the next election, you might be as delusional as those who think supporting a candidate who tried to overthrow democracy is a sure winner next time around.

It's time to STOP being delusional - and start being realistic. It's time to STOP promoting GOP lies. It's time to STOP pretending that MAGAts represent a majority of voters when they clearly don't - and I am tired of so-called Democrats promoting the idea that they do.

Not a popular opinion - but my opinion nonetheless.
