For all of the doomer hand wringing...


Recommended Posts

Is there anyone who will vote for Trump tomorrow who wasn't going to vote for Trump yesterday? Show me this supposed demographic. Like... The issue has never been Trump gaining voters, it's Biden losing them. 

 

I keep seeing people say "[x] looks good for Trump," IT DOESN'T MATTER what's good for him. Everyone who is going to vote for him already decided that a long time ago, and people who aren't going to vote for him still aren't going to.

 

And I started this post before the shooting.

The fact that polling is constantly changing should show you that there are indeed undecided voters. These are the people who do not pay attention to politics and prefer Jimmy Fallon and James Corden as background noise at night.

Trump was always gonna win reelection and this just moved the needle further 

 

Charlie Kirk posted some nonsense about the blood of jesus and a pic of Trump so idiots are clinging on to this.

 

I only know because some person unfortunately put it in my instagram feed. :sick:

My brain can’t wrap my head around the fact that we as a people have lived under four years of both men… and we saw how Trump handled a crisis in 2020.

 

Why would ANYONE want to go back to that?

I think this could turn some apathetic people who didn't really care for trump all that much but at the same time lean republican. 

 

But as I said yesterday I think we are all just awful at contextualizing stuff in the heat of the moment and we're trained to think everything is the thing that will make thing A or B happen. 


I think the Democrats have a great chance of winning if they get a candidate who can present a coherent thought to the general public in front of a live camera. 

 

It's a low bar!

Yea but stuff costs more and it's 100% Biden's fault, even if inflation is global and the US has one of the lower rates in developed nations. Their Big Mac is just too expensive!

I cant wrap my head around the hypnotic effect Trump has on people.. being military its crazy to see how many strong, brave and patriotic leaders in uniform admire and support the guy.. somehow Trumps branding allows him to equate himself to them.. not just the few loonies that have been blown up too many times but actual rational individuals..

 

Its like the Nazis ideas of tall blond blue eyed super saiyans being the master race being promoted by a tiny dark haired mustache man.. it just makes no sense..

I also worry about the dipshits that were more apathetical and would have likely stayed home on election day, now get pulled in by this to support Trump in the face of this attack. Like they would have votes Trump if they were motivated enough to go vote and this will action will motivate them.

Fascism 101

 

True or perceived economic / general hardship, create a scapegoat and demonize the hell out of it, get a charismatic leader who claims (only) he can fix it, voila. Fanatic following who will do incredibly bad things for the greater good (in their eyes).

Agreed, though I think concern about escalating violence is reasonable, at least far more reasonable than fear about how this impacts the election. I understand the news covers the "horse race" aspect a ton, but so do regular people, and I wish we wouldn't do that so much.
