2026: the year Republican voters turn out to be just barely not racist or transphobic enough to overlook the looting of the country at their personal expense

There’s “had to go look it up to verify” stat lines and then there’s “wait, is it April 1” stat lines and this was the latter, I literally opened my calendar app to check

Excuse me what
