What would be the pathway to do that?
i feel like a presidential candidate suggesting the purge as a policy should have attracted more attention
It would be a popular move with their Brooklyn podcaster friends, so it would be popular with the electorate at large.
Lots of money to be made in calling for (a hackish caricature of) affirmative action for conservatives though.
Econ as seen on TV is conservative, but most people doing research in the field are normie Dems in my experience.
It’s mostly white dudes, so they don’t see any danger. They think it sounds fun and sexy when Trump says he wants to do The Purge IRL.
Asheville is very blue, but the surrounding areas are very red. In any event, it’s a crisis no matter how those folks would have voted.
Same folks will yell at you about gerrymandering being why certain candidates won statewide races.
