I read another comment suggesting their efforts would actually be better spent targeting purple or barely-red states, if the goal is to really hurt Trump’s support. You can only realistically change the minds of a small percentage of MAGAs, then it makes sense to target the regions where that small percent translates to a flip in votes.
I’m not sure I totally buy the analysis, since all this tariff bullshit is as much about messaging and dick-waving as anything else, but there’s probably a nugget of truth to it.
I agree that makes a lot of sense–to your original point of targeting policies to achieve very specific goals.
