I mean, the talking heads are right, they just "mysteriously forget" to mention who set the bar so low in the first place.
The cult of party is worse than cult of personality. It's truly exhausting.
Just a reminder, 538 says Trump has a 27% chance of winning a second term.
That may not sound like much, but if I told you I was going to flip two coins, and if they both came up tails, I was going to shoot you in the head... would you still want me to flip those coins?
I've been kind of complacent myself these past couple years, when Beto got within 1% of beating Ted Cruz.
But these last few weeks, I've been interacting with a LOT of people, in person, who I thought were smart enough to know better, who have:
1) openly called the Covid pandemic a hoax, sometimes actually calling it a "plandemic."
2) called me a sucker for wearing a mask, claiming that I was being socially engineered into compliance.
3) expressed dissatisfaction with the post office running so far behind, saying "this is why it's losing so much money!"
4) openly derided the BLM protests as nothing but looters and terrorists
5) straight up openly said they sure hope Trump wins, because Biden will ruin this country.
6) posit that the democrats will stage some kind of health issue with Biden so that they can replace Biden/Harris with a HILLARY CLINTON/BARACK OBAMA (yes, Obama as Veep candidate) at the 11th hour to be their "dream team."
TLDR version: A lot of people are REALLY stupid and really self-centered, and aren't interested in hearing anything bad about Trump, because it doesn't matter. They'll take anything over a Democrat, no matter what. Even Trump. And any time Trump does something jaw-droppingly chillingly embarrasingly stupidly awful, they just plug their ears and think "can't have a Democrat."
Yes, Donald, that's called Democracy."Fifty-one million ballots are going to be indiscriminitely sent out to people who didn't even ask for them, people who will say, 'Hey, I just got a ballot, that's great, let me vote,' and it's a terrible thing."
Yes, because people not voting for your opponent or you means they obviously must like you.“I got many more votes than Romney, many more votes than McCain… we ended up with 11 per cent… and I’ll tell you, it’s much more if you add — many blacks didn’t go out to vote for Hillary [because] they liked me — that was almost as good as getting the vote,” he said.
Hey, i assure you, I won't vote for Joe, but I like him much better than the alternative.Trump, always giving away the game.
Yes, Donald, that's called Democracy.
Also some leaked audio came out that I feel really reinforces the essence of Donald Trump.

they’re completely unaware of their bullshit - sorry, no, they are counting on other people being completely unaware of their bullshit. The lawyer for Mr Yo-Semite wants to mock someone for being able to readOMFG, I am so sick of Trumps's bullshit. Something that is so fucking easy to prove, and his followers won't even consider that he's lying RIGHT TO THEIR FACE.
Now I'm wondering whether a comparison of hand-marked v. machine-cast ballots would reveal anything for the Democratic primaries.Read this thread.

She's been pretty openly trashing both of her parents for awhile now.Talk about drama. I knew that shit was weird with Kellyanne and George being on opposite sides of the Trump train, but adding in a very liberal daughter to the mix was not something I expected, let alone what would tank her WH career.
