I find the parallel enforcement of voting norms by the chuds really funny: "A vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Joe Biden!"

The value proposition of voting for Trump is the thrill of transgressing the established pieties and norms. But everyone lives in the longhouse now; everyone is DEI; everyone is idpol; so now you have to vote for him or else the MAGA HR managers will come lecture (and libel) you.

I’ll be honest I didn’t even realize Ron Paul was in.

Again? Still? That dude was running as the libertarian candidate since before I could vote, and he was old then!

He's not, Kyle just said he's writing him in (until he backpedaled), which is just bizarre on multiple levels.

Imagine capitalizing off of conservatives just being "the real leftists", and any white man that's progressive is "escaping the USSRepublican gulag".
