    The GOP is going to hold locksteady either way. The goal is to get the undecided.

    Honestly, I don’t believe that. I believe the goal is to further radicalize the base, because that’s what fascists need – paramilitary zealots, not actual majorities – in order to undemocratically seize power.

      Well I meant the goal of the Dems is to get the undecideds as opposed to trying to get the MAGA base.

      But it seems to be the goal of the Trump campaign too, but their candidate doesn’t have any discipline and can’t stop himself from just speaking to the faithful in the dwindling crowds that go to his rallies.
