If we remember way back to 2018 and how the Kavanaugh hearings were going to shift things to Rs favor, we saw how that turned out. So many Rs were gonna come out and show their support. So yeah, not sure if your hot take is on point, though of course anything that worries Dems and motivates to get to the polls (and to phone bank; I anecdotally have many friends phone banking this weekend for the first time) then this event, while not great (understatement) then helpful for GOTV prospects.

God damn you are stupid. You don’t think this motivates Biden’s base at all? I too can shit in my hand and smear it on paper, then call it high-minded analysis.

Whoa! You know both bases can be motivated, for different reasons, by the same event. The article was not exclusionary; certainly many Dems are motivated as well.
