honestly have never understood why he gets a pass from so many people. he’s just another reactionary centrist. he just presents in a way more palatable to some.

yeah, i look back at things like his october 2016 interview with kris kobach where plans for mass deportations were laid amount almost as a lark and i think, what have you ever been doing man? (that one sticks out because kobach was so frank, the podcast made me cry, and then trump won.) i was out.
I felt like his book had some really good insights about asymmetric polarization and how the Republican Party is able to do their thing + why people vote against their interests. Which makes everything he’s written outside that book more baffling + frustrating to me
Everything I have ever heard about him on a personal level suggests he is a VERY kind individual, which both explains why people circle the wagons for him AND makes his written stances even more baffling
