The degree to which "conservatives" can delude themselves is impressive. They can believe that Ron DeSantis is a capable politician. They can believe that virtually total bans on abortion are popular.
To a degree, this represents two phenomenon. First, Republicans benefit from natural and partisan gerrymanders that distort their democratic viability. Second, they tend to believe whatever they're told to believe by the Right Wing Wurlitzer.
As I said last night, there has to be a complete and total repudiation of the Republican party's war on rights and democracy. But because facts cannot penetrate the Wurlitzer, you can be absolutely certain that a large part of Republican voters will vote for whomever the GOP coughs up. We are seeing that "persuadable voters" still exist, and we need to make sure that 100% of those persuadable voters are persuaded.
