Right? It’s been a slow process but he’s a smart guy and he’s starting to show signs of critical thought. He just seemed to lean in real hard on “well, these GOP folks do sound reasonable.” And he’s right, if you don’t really pay attention to the word and content (or just accept it, uncritically) but listen to the cadence and indignation, they do sound reasonable. By comparison, leftists sound angry and a smart-sounding republican talking down to an angry leftist sounds reasonable. And, after all, most of the news sounds like the republican.
