Oh wait you mean he sees them as a factor/threat to be taken seriously? That does sound optimistic to me but I hope you're right
I don't think Cruz cares about anything but himself, including his children and his wife.

They're not as important. Some loud-mouthed pinkhair or cowboy screaming about CRT or Jesus both doesn't read policy, and needs to feel like an expert so they dig in on cultural issues where their gut is enough of a source to cite from.

But you can't eat gun rights, or adding the X to latino. Being able to pay the bills, and feed your kids, and keep the lights on is more important that people's feelings. In fact people's feelings are worse than useless. They're a distraction that benefits the oligarchy.
