      The voters aren’t, but don’t underestimate the people who are calling the shots, directing the narrative, and are the real problem

      They’re horrible people but they’re not stupid, and they see their followers as a disposable and replaceable resource.

      It’s an incredibly dangerous dynamic and one that shouldn’t just be dismissed because they look ridiculous.

      Jon Stewert has said one of his biggest regrets was not taking a young Tucker Carlson seriously and focusing on how stupid his bowtie looks

      They want us to think they’re all bumbling idiots so we don’t take the threat of their movement seriously.

      It’s fascism 101. Give your oppents anything to talk about except the horrible shit you’re doing.

    I really want Trump to lose this election but live to run again in 2028 because the GOP could never recover and hopefully the democrats spilt into the left and right parties for the 2032 election.

      Republicans definitely don’t realize the only thing holding Democrats together right now is just how totally awful they’re being. A “third way” style move from Republicans where they move to the left would devastate the political landscape. But it would cost them the maniacs and they might not survive the breakup

    It’s really weird how Republicans seem to think this is new.
    It’s been just about the same since even before 2016, for instance his completely unfounded and against publicized evidence conspiracy theory about Obama’s birth certificate in 2011. Trump was unhinged from the start. He was unhinged January 6th, and he is unhinged now.
    Trump never adjusted, he always just sought points that resonated with certain people whether true or not.
    He has done the exact same with Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, there is little difference ti Trumps approach.
    The difference is that people are getting tired of Trump, and nothing really sticks.
    Trump is using kindergarten tactics as always, and it has been hard to find a response to, because it’s just so outrageously stupid. But Kamala calling it “weird” has been surprisingly effective, and Trump looks more and more like the idiot he was from the beginning.
