Sad thing is that it definitely fools his base.
I don’t think it does. I think they probably view it as “the left calls us bigoted for no reason, so we’ll call them bigoted for no reason. Gotta troll the libs!”. They’re just so deep in the muck that they don’t realize how abhorrent their views are
I fully agree with that part. I meant I think he could not care less about culture wars or their ideological content, as long as he can exploit them for his purposes. If his state flipped and Democrats were calling for blood, I would not be at all surprised if he switched to dialog about "sticking it to the reactionary neo-cons." There have been many bills against which he voted, that his base wanted, and which passed anyway. He got on social media and celebrated the passage of those bills. That's the hypocrisy that I think fools his base rather than the idea that he and his base actually believe progressive values are bigoted.
