But will his voting base care? My brother is a disabled vet, and him and his wife (a Covid conspiracy theory nurse) are always trumpers.
Are they like the Trumpets in my family? No matter how bad Trump gets they just focus down on trans people in sports and washrooms.
How can I worry about the economy and healthcare when the boxer in the Olympics looks man-ish?
It’s such a weird thing to focus on. How many of your (or my) family members are competing in sports? I have a few, but they’re co-ed adult leagues, so who the hell cares.
And nobody looks at each other in bathrooms. I’ve seen literally dozens of women use the men’s bathroom in my life. We don’t care. She goes to a stall, I go to a urinal, I wash my hands, I leave, I never see her again
It’s a defense tactic. They are confronted with potentially upsetting threats to their hate world views and so they immediately shut down and pivot to comfortable territory.
I’m terribly sorry. Trump nearly destroyed my relationship with my mother. A hard no-politics rule saved us.
I overheard two people talking outside a shop a couple years ago. The guy said how his brother wouldn’t listen to his rhetoric. The brother apparently said, “I just came from a funeral of a friend who died of covid.” The lunatic replied, “died with covid. Blah blah crazy shit.” It made me so angry that I couldn’t enjoy the fun thing that I attended a few minutes later. I’m very against violence and was appalled at my own thought that I would condone violence in that moment. It really fucked my head.
I would have forgiven you if you punched him in his dome
"That’s the highest award you can get as a civilian. It’s the equivalent of the Congressional Medal of Honor, but civilian version,” Trump said, mistakenly referring to the honor bestowed for valor in combat. “But civilian version, it’s actually much better because everyone [who] gets the Congressional Medal of Honor, they’re soldiers. They’re either in very bad shape because they’ve been hit so many times by bullets, or they’re dead.”
What makes this any different from all the previous disgusting comments he’s made about veterans?
Its recent, and public.
No difference in tone or intent but a difference in that he’s flailing and losing support, so this may add to that. Otherwise reasonable people were being drawn back in to trumpnon the basis that biden is too old. Their eyes are opening to trumps failings, that were already there to see, but not everyone was paying attention.
Whatever.
Republicans are completely brainlocked onto this guy, there is literally nothing that will shake them off.
Democrats need to turn out.
Well, he’s old and gonna die. A few have tried to take his place, but failed. When he dies, support will likely crater and well take a big jump forwards globally. Its always two steps forward, one step back.
His support may alsonstart to crater if he loses this coming election. The voters will start to see the lack of emperors clothes. The sycophants whoncling on for gain, will see no gain and flit away to other grifts.
This is a scary time as losing is not a given, just slightly more likely and they have plans to steal the election irrespective of the vote result. However, it also is nearly over, should he lose and not be able to overthrow the government.
A disappointing number of them will still vote for him.
Nobody should just have 300 million available in spending money that they can throw at politics.
When spending money determines who wins or loses an election or political career … why keep referring to it as a democracy.
A political system that runs on money is known as a plutocracy and a system that runs on the power of a few wealthy people is known as an oligarchy.
Whatever this system is now … it definitely does not run on the will of the people … which is what democracy is.
We don’t. You’re just saying the loud part out loud.
When dozens of billionaires are funding your operation, that much money makes sense. However, Trump constantly lies about everything and Kamala announced a few hundred million raised in the first week she began her campaign so he’s most likely trying to sound just popular as her by saying he also has a lot of money.
Campaign finance reform now!
Again?
