Sad part is the Right Wingers won't even know about this. Articles and public votes like this never make it to them.

Things like this should damage their party but it hardly ever does.

They are aware of thr border bill republicans blocked because Trump wanted them to so they will probably know about this at some point

I asked a Trumper if they knew about Fox settling with Dominion over their coverage of the election. They had zero idea about what I was talking about and were confused. This happened a few months ago, long after the settlement was over. They will never find out about this and if you tell them, they'll make up some shit about how it must have been a communism bill or something equally brain dead.
