Which on the surface sounds a bit like discussing rock n’ roll after Aha! But who knows. Maybe during their reunion tour they’ll ditch the digital keyboard for piano, a flying V guitar, and an actual drum set. Keep hope alive! (h/t sdferr)

I’m promoting this Ernst comment into a post of its own because I think it shows a clear understanding of what we are fighting structurally, not only culturally, when we take on the left.

You know, the one we lay claim to by not being True Believers and idealists, but rather by appealing to moderates and independents? Turns out that conservatives and libertarians need not apply.
