When I show up at an open house for a bicycle lane on some road in town, lot's of people show up. I advocate for bike lanes as do many others. Some people show up to oppose them. Though it does happen that it seems "liberals" tend to want bike lanes and "conservatives" seem to oppose them, there's nothing about party in any of this. This happens everyday. At election time, candidates for Democrats and Republicans shop their positions. I don't want to confuse partisanship for a cause with partisanship for a party.

Regarding catnip for party partisanship like crime, immigration, etc., if we look at the results in Georgia, there's about an 8% point difference between Kemp and Walker. That's what we're working with. That 8% is the difference between those who are Republican voters, and those who are willing to vote for maga numbskulls.
