A new paper offers a boring-but-important new theory of the rise of rightwing populist politics — large minorities of the population agree with these parties about immigration and crime so when politicians come along to supply representation they win. pic.twitter.com/f0vtiRewAD

Shit, I agree with the right largely about immigration and crime. At least the general ideas.
But I’ll never vote for those fucks because they think vaccines don’t work or cause autism, don’t believe climate change is real even as it destroys places they live, and think they can pray the gay solar panels away.
Only a right clown would vote for that. So I hold my nose and vote for the more reasonable Democrats. Even though they are do-nothing losers.
