I read that letter also, and it occurred to me... many of these provisions, including cuts to climate initiatives, restrictions on reproductive rights, attacks on the freedoms of the trans community, and the SS increase to age 69, are a deliberate slap in the face to the demographic Republicans most need - the 18-35 age group. The GOP are clearly unable to read the room.

I think that the Republicans are reading one group that is spelled MAGA. If most of the MAGAs buy it, we will have an even more frightening sense of how far a large portion of Americans are removed from their needs and, perhaps, how poor the Democrats have been at messengered the truth.
But I do have faith in the youth - they are already rising up and they will continue to do so, especially as they see ever more clearly the harm that MAGA poses to their future.
Yes, they are so far put into the weeds in what they believe that they do not see the trap they are setting for themselves.....everything they want will repel the very voters they need to win the next election.
