so hypothetically, you think single-issue gun control republicans are willing to compromise on gun control?
Exactly, I think you got it. A single issue gun control voter wants less gun control. Say they want to be able to own fully automatic rifles. Trump doesn’t want people owning fully automatic rifles, he doesn’t even want bump stocks to be legal. Trump however is more lenient on other aspects of gun control, certainly more lenient than Biden. They may agree more with Biden on immigration, or abortion, or taxes, but they agree most with Trump on the other issues so they vote for Trump.
So we have one type of single issue voter that is good for Republicans, and one type of single issue voter that is bad for Democrats.
you mysteriously dropped that half of your argument idk why
We’ll figure out the other parts of the argument once we have this simple thing settled.
trump tried to enact a little bit of gun control, it was basically the only thing his voter base ever pushed back on, but they pushed back very hard, and he very quickly dropped it
so demonstrably your understanding of republicans is wrong, so i don’t know where this leaves you

Hmmm
Me:
You:
Really nailed the dismount there buddy. I’m beginning to understand why you’ve drawn the other conclusions that you have.
Take it easy.
yes he signed in legislation, his voter base responded, and he dropped gun control from his platform
look at his stance now
almost like this was a direct consequence of the pushback SUPER weird that your voter base abandoning you leads to change in your platform
