Has Fuentes ever thought about trying to actually reach out to Cawthorn and explain some of his positions and maybe try to persuade him to shift his views more in line with what he wants? Nick needs to realize he's not Trump, he can't go making these types of jokes about people because Nick is not in control of the Republican party like Trump was. If Trump insults someone's disability, a majority of the base just says "well it was a mean thing to say but he doesnt want to kill babies" and votes for him, but with Nick they just say "wow what an asshole, that guy is a total nutjob and not worth listening to in the slightest!"
Nick really needs to get it through his head that even with as slimy and scummy as politicians are, they aren't going to be listening to you unless you're respectful and nice. Imagine if he called Paul Gosar a "ziocon dental bitch" or something, would Gosar have wanted to show up to AFPAC or would he just tell Nick to go fuck himself? This should be the time he's making allies in the Republican party but instead he's burning every bridge possible before he even has a foot in the door. If Nick wants to be serious in politics and start introducing his ideas into the broader Right and especially already elected Republicans, he needs to play the game. Nick, you are not Trump. Stop LARPing like you are.
