      The problem is stuff like “slaves benefited by learning skills under slavery” is simply too radical even for most Republicans

      I think he assumed there was a much larger hard-core right population than there really is. Like sure, neonazis might vote for you but the average Trumper is not a neonazi. They’re like halfway there but still believe slavery was bad, racism is bad, etc.

        The media keeps giving a megaphone to the extreme who yell the loudest. There are fewer of those idiots than even the “wanna-be tRumpians” realize. They went all in on this train. Now it’s off the rails and they’re only just now realizing there aren’t any conductors to stop it.
