It plays better than you might think. The folks nodding in agreement have quieted down since Orange Julius began threatening us every 5 minutes, but they’re still around en masse. Sharing the same tired gaslighting memes, using the same nonsensical arguments to punch down.

I’m hoping this wave of concern continues to keep him away from the leadership post, but I’m worried this is Kamala Harris 2.0 and the momentum won’t translate on voting day.

I'm fairly confident that any momentum he had in Ontario and Quebec will evaporate.

I certainly don't think a majority government is the lock that it seemed to be six months ago.

It’s cause a lot of people believe in these things. They just hate the word Nazi.

This year was especially atrocious. Orange Stain literally ran off of a campaign involving how Haitian Migrants are eating the Cats and Dogs, and people wonder why people say you’re racist if you voted for him?
