You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*.

McFlurry for life 👍
The search for summer's best Oreo dessert led everywhere from Dairy Queen to Cold Stone. In the end, the $2.99 McFlurry still took the crown.

The most dangerous thing many people do every day is drive their car and almost no one operates a vehicle with that in mind
It's funny, I know several people who are older than me and entirely risk averse about everything, flying, "germs", all of it. But as soon as they get behind the wheel of a car, they act like they are in a James Bond chase scene just going to the grocery store. I don't get it.
