Trump fatigue is real.
The only news I want to hear about him is how much he lost by and how long his prison sentence will be.
I'm generally a pessimist, but I really honestly think he's going to win even without the ratfuck plans they have for the swing states...
Polls always show him well under what his actual support is and we're close enough that it should put him in a decent lead...
I do still expect a state like Georgia to "find irregularities" on election night that will trigger the hand counting which will drag out long enough for them to have SCOTUS step in and tell them to stop counting again regardless...
:(
There's always a chance and he will be ratfucking everything he can, but this is a very different base than in 2016. The crowds aren't there. My family hasn't been annoying. I heard one say to his friend (at a family thing) "I just try not to think about it and only focus on what I can...blah...family." he was talking about some bs repub lie of the day to his friend. I know it's not a poll, but a lack of excitement from trumpers is a positive sign.
Still go vote. It's not a 100% thing and Trump will be flinging more lies around.
Personally, it's not fatigue, but I'm glad if some conservatives are feeling that way. I can barely stand to see that disgusting hateful man, or hear his dishonest, mocking words. He disrespects everyone who doesn't help him in some way, acts on impulse, and takes the most immoral side of any issue... I don't know how anyone could support him.
I don't even want him in jail anymore if it means having to deal with him through the trials. I'm utterly done with him.
Just cut a plea deal giving him house arrest with no visitors or internet and let him live in his golden palace until he dies on the toilet.
Nah, I want justice. He needs to be made an example of for the next authoritarian dickhead who thinks about fucking with democracy.
I want this crap grifter to disappear forever ASAP and I'm a European...
My man what a enormous piece of shit fr.
I have family who are lifelong Republicans but soured on Trump. Because, for all of their faults and their media bubbles, willing to endure Trump's stupidity in exchange for the idea that he was just a tool for the GOP, they do still believe in democracy, and Jan 6 was too blatant for even their favorite news sources to spin positively.
I wish I had those. My family is in Connecticut, of all places, and there are still Trump supporters among them, somehow.
I wish I knew Republicans like that. All the ones I know literally would never change their mind about him no matter what. And this sadly includes my own family.
The ones I know who eventually changed their were never all-in on him, they were the "He's our Cyrus" types who recognized he was a shitty human being and, more important to them, a pathetic excuse of a con man only wearing a Christian's clothing, but thought the GOP could effectively use him for long-standing policy goals. They were willing to buy into "The border in crisis!", "LAGGING DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST ECONOMY", and "Transgender litterboxes in public schools", but "Time to overthrow democracy" was too much for them. For their faults and delusions, they genuinely buy into the US as a bastion of freedom and democracy, and anti-democratic moves evoke genuine revulsion from them.
It's small, and if they weren't family, it wouldn't be enough for me to keep enduring such nonsense - but as they are family, I'm just thankful that they aren't outright fascists, just rubes. Though, as long as the fascists hide the exact level of fascism they're going for, the practical effect is the same. Trump's incompetence is, in a strange way, a saving grace here.
make sure to remind him that Republican leadership has done nothing to stop him, and has facilitated his shitty policy changes every step of the way. just in case he thinks Trump is the only problem and plans on going back once he's gone
And every Republican who wouldn't kiss the ring is no longer an elected official.
That wouldn't be a ring on a hand that they're kissing
I said that after the 2020 election to my wife...it did not age well.
We were two inches away from a better world.
I have notice that upper class Republicans, informed Republicans and Republicans who worked for him are voting for Kamala Harris. The lower class, low information MAGAs and haters are still all in for the weak, weird, old orange felon.
They still hope he will hurt the people they hate more than he will hurt them
Where I live, more and more "Trump Vance 2024 MAGA" signs are planted in front of homes every day. The only people supporting that citrus shit-stain are too far gone to correct their misconceptions.
I knew who this was referring to at the first sentence.
I figured it out in the first 2 words!
That's nice and all but we still have the young idiots like MGT and Bobert and Gaetz that will carry the Trump torch. Not to mention the young SCOTUS idiots.
"Sorry, best we could do is Trump dynasty. Next up, Don Jr."
/Vomit
Next up is worse than that
Hopefully The Base isn't as riled up for him. I don't think he has the same kind of con man "charisma" like Trump does, he might be more of a Jeb! type. At least I hope lol
