It’s bigger than that. Dems have been trying to figure out how to counter Limbaugh, Fox, etc. for decades. This is merely a new front in an old battle

Same thing happened in the Civil Rights Era. 58 Lonely Men is a classic book about the federal judges in the South who stood up to it and enforced the law

Exactly. A few symbolic gestures, claim a few scalps, keep going

If there’s a hell, ambition and Trump will send them all there. And Marco Rubio is smart enough to know it
