If the Democrats ran a man with the dispostion of Trump and then the entire party supported and normalized his insanity for a decade while we lost election after election I would loudly and proudly abandon the Democratic Party. I would never support that party. I would never support that candidate. Not in a million years. I don't think I would vote for the Republicans, but I would never vote for a pro-DEMTrump Democrat ever again. 1 hour ago, Best said: I honestly cannot grasp this either and I live with my mother who thinks he's an amazing man. It's because she only watches fox news and they portray him in such a positive light. She is litteraly brainwashed. After decades of Karl Rove coordinated subtle racism, Rush Limbaugh flavored talk radio and Fox News, you guys don't understand his appeal to the Republican base? Trump says all of the "quiet" parts out loud... all of the stuff that they wish they could say but resent our "woke" overlords for preventing them from saying. He appeals to boomer resentment and white greviance wrapped up in a package that was sold to them as being a brilliant businessman (by the same liberal Hollywood establishment that they hate BTW) Trump is living embodiment of chickens coming home to roost, to paraphrase my avatar. I'm not shocked that Trump has followers, I'm relieved that he's so terrible. Imagine if he was actually intelligent and competent. This country would literally be The Fourth Reich. My advice? Stop being shocked...accept it for what it is and try to combat it the best way you can by beating your loved ones over the head with actual facts and the truth. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more surprised that these loudmouth dipshits were ever intentionally quiet about anything. I've never hidden a single opinion I've had and consider it the most chickenshit self-defeating thing you can do. If you're scared to even state your opinion, maybe there's a fuckin' reason for that.

5timechamp Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 2 hours ago, Reputator said: Think about it. If Haley had been their nominee, it wouldn't have mattered if Biden stepped own. The GOP would have been the first to a fresh-faced ticket. They would have been the ones to generate excitement over a potential woman president. Harris could still have taken Biden's place, but the impact would have been completely blunted. It would have looked like a weak, begrudging response, and the GOP would have looked like the more bold, courageous party. When they finally head that route they will just pick the most obtuse jackass of a woman. A “rude and callous” version of Marjorie Greene. It will be the most transparent check the box nominee you will ever see. The Dems play into those optics as well BUT they actually find competent qualified folks to fill those roles.. The GOP will just as likely put a Valentina Gomez or Holly Rehder up there because theyre brash but obedient to their overarching ideology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in certain circumstances that might be because you're in a highly oppressive environment, these idiots were never in any such environment. That was all Lee Atwater's strategy. To appeal to racism without appearing racist. This was in 1988 and this was the strategy on The Right ever since Nixon and was used against those who called this shit out for what it was... "Why do you have to make everything about Race?" Do you know how many times I heard that weak shit from college on ? Mostly from white friends and colleagues who never considered themselves racist even though they supported racist shit. Trump just put everything out in the open and fueled by Obama and The Great Replacement Theory, white America was at least willing to hear the man out. They made this idiot Presiden based on complete and utter bullshit. This fraud should be in jail, yet he still has a decent chance of being President again. To all my progressive, non racist white friends PLEASE stop being shocked and see this for what it is and has always been. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't express "the quiet part" in public because they'd get called out for being a twat. Now so much of this bullshit thrives online where you can not only say the quiet part out loud, but figuratively scream it and immediately be reinforced by algorithmic fellatio. A lot of the "find out" portion of the equation happens IRL when these people leave their echo chambers and try to tell people whose brains aren't as smooth as poached eggs that Kamala Harris isn't black or that they hope their black airline pilot is actually qualified to fly. The same fucking people who crow about safe spaces being for cowards "protest" in ski masks and balaclavas, having emerged from from U Hauls with no windows to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaladinSolo Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 After raising $67 million in June, the RNC just reported raising less than half that amount last month — which included the convention. Slightly less than $31 million in receipts, while sending $33.5 million out the door. In July 2020, the RNC raised $55.3 million, and about $67 million that August — the convention month. (Last month’s events also included the Trump assassination attempt and the Biden-Harris swap-surge) Republicans don't even care he got shot. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
