These fucks need to learn the momen they out of office, they’ll become a target to this, if not way sooner. It so stupid and not even near-sighted.

“so we pull the usual ‘wait until it’s out of the press’ routine and then go again?”

such shocker bills are to wear out public outrage. they overreach, get shut down, everyone gets all comfy about it and then they come back with a less overreaching new bill that represents what they actually wanted in the first place, and people will just accept it without protest.

Or they shove it into a bill about something completely different like feeding homeless children so they can attack you and call you a terrible person when you oppose the bill.

Yeah I think some of us know the game by now since it never changes. It’s just so sad that most people don’t see the patterns.

Sadly, that means we have to point/call out the strategy every time and hope people listen…
