So, even though Fetterman was a huge disappointment who needs to be primaried out in the next election, Dr. Oz was the alternative.

We really should’ve completely destroyed the South

Trump's strongest support in 2024 wasn't actually in the South.

West Virginia and Wyoming, the two biggest coal producers, were the strongest supporters. There were states in the South that went for Trump, but there's also the Great Plains.

Contrast with, say, the 1920 presidential election, which was clearly a South-vs-rest-of-US result:

Oz is living proof you can't vote these guys away.

I agree. That's why you don't bother arguing or treating conservatives.
