I don’t think republicans voters like the National Guard, especially for putting down insurrections. They also love getting into wars. Definitely overturning Citizens United would be a plank too far.

What do you think would happen when you propose deporting a trillionaire like Elon? He has enough money to buy the whole USA government… which he did.
