I kinda don’t care about hearts and minds. Let them know you dropped them for that reason, the scorn is enough. They’re allowed to be maga it just can’t be without consequences

Why give money to bad people when you could support good people? It’s a simple calculus. Remember it’s not that they just so happen to be conservative, these are people who opted in to advertise that they are bad people.
