55. I agree that the infighting among the MAGA cult can benefit Democrats

But I won't be giving these awful people a cookie for doing the bare minimum of what decent people are already doing and have been doing. All of these awful people are still ok with at least 90% of what the con artist has done and all of them will continue to vote for awful people who will continue the MAGA con artist agenda.
