    This headline is a bit alarmist.

    “I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it … what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs, by the way.”

    So he is basically just implying everyone who is poor voted Trump, and everyone rich voted Biden. It’s basically a neutered version of class consciousness with a tribal mindset. Which is exactly the type of class consciousness I would expect Hawley to want his constituents to have. He’s still being disingenuous, but he’s not (as of right now) suggesting that we keep voter records to punish people for wrongthink.

      Meanwhile, Trump Admin requested the voter records for San Francisco county. Now I wonder why he would want that? 🤔
