MAGA has a curious inconsistency when it comes to gun-toting vigilantes. Ben riffs. Kina Collins talks about MAGA messaging. They stay on message even if what they say today contradicts what they said yesterday. Which gets into their contradictory attitudes toward Luigi Mangione and Kyle Rittenhouse. Which gets into the Democratic retreat on health care. And how Bernie would have defeated Trump. Finally, the Alderman Andre question. If we’re nice to Trump, will he be nice to us? Kina is a political activist from the west side.
