Its fucked up but thats the truth. No one ever claims theyre going too far right.
But when people hear that their good healthcare will be taken away for some unknown, that we want to decriminalize the border, let prisoners vote and things like that, it scares the shit out of them. You have to get people to these places incrementally. This isnt a big radical change election, this is a return to normality election.
