Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

I think it's both. There are definitely a lot of "conservative" and "Christian" people out there who'd vote for a rock over any Demoncrat who want to kill babies and pamper to the non-Christians, but there's also a sizeable group of Trump cultists who will support him over literally anyone or anything.
And of course you've got the gullible idiots who believe he'll actually somehow do something good for the average working poor.

And there's also plenty of moneyed interests (and those who hope to become such) who know they stand to make more personal profits when an unrepentant corporatist is in power and breaking rules - and that's all that matters to them. "Other" people are not people, so who cares about that. I grind my teeth talking politics with my girlfriend because she wants to own her own business and literally the only thing she cares about in this election is who will make her taxes lower in that endeavor. Fortunately Harris just announced a new small business tax break as part of her platform.
 
I don’t really want to ask him, but I have a feeling my dad would rather vote for Trump than any Democrat. And he has stated that Trump is an idiot, but the anger he feels for democrats is unreal.
 
My dad is a Republican who ideologically should like Trump but had a personal revulsion to him ever since he first ran. He left president blank in 2016 and 2020 and I suspect will do the same this year. Not like we’re in a swing state anyways.

My dad is similar. He was a hardcore Republican until 2016. He hated Clinton, but he hated Trump even more and left that spot on his ballot blank. He actually voted for Biden in 2020 and he’s excitedly talking about Harris now. Trump destroyed my dad’s loyalty to the Republican Party.
 
While out on bail awaiting sentencing, cumsock is caught committing the exact same crime he was convicted for, yes, that's correct, the exact same crime, bribing Stormy Daniels.....
There's dumb, and then there is trump dumb.
~it's so dumb gif~
Watching Maddow basically say "I can't believe this is really happening, but...!"- girl, same. So, do we think it's because Daniels actually know something more destructive, or do we think it's really that his ego just can't let this go? At this point, it's a toss-up.
 
Occasionally I catch glimpses of what the conservative side of the US are saying (I don't like it, I prefer the comfort of my echo chambers, thanks), and as far as I can tell, they're not voting for Trump, they're voting against Harris and the Democrats. They believe that the Democrats will bring about the destruction of America and probably the world, and so they're voting to prevent that.

If I could make a somewhat tortured comparison, I think it's similar to how I don't think many people in 2020 were voting for Biden as much as they were voting against Trump.

This is why I don't think any showcases of Trump's mental incompetence will sway any of the people intending to vote for him. They're not stupid, they're not incapable of realizing he's a blubbering buffoon, and they're not unaware that he's threatening to take away many civil liberties. It's that they believe the brain-damaged blubbering buffoon is a better option than the "Demoncrats".
If that was true they should have shown it in the primary, and picked someone else.

To quote The Boys: Stormfront : People love what I have to say. They believe in it. They just don't like the word nazi. That's all.

I'm sure there are a few that will vote for anyone as long as they have an R next to their name, but the majority either picked him or didn't care enough to show up to pick someone else...
 
I can't remember where my sentence started by the time I'm halfway through so I'll just claim it's deliberate pancakes for everyone the very best pancakes for those damn immigrants stealing our food and water, did you hear about the water? There's shortages of water in all those democratic states, all going to immigrants, meanwhile there's plenty of water in my states, the beautiful states that voted for me, and I said, well why don't we move the water, right? And they said it couldn't be done, but it can be done, so did great things with the water, it's...


You know, I'm trying and I still make more sense than he does.
 
For anyone who doesn't know, this was his (live) response to a (prerecorded) video of a 6yr-old boy who lives on a farm in Massachusetts asking Trump, "What is your favorite animal?"
I just want someone to come from the future and tell me if I need to leave this place or if, against all odds, everything will be fine.
If Kamala wins, then it won't be necessary, and if Trump wins, you know he's going to outlaw time travel.

Paraphrase of a conversation I overheard at lunch today and then texted to my wife:

Guy voting for Harris: he's in cognitive decline. He said that Washington's men took the airfields during the revolution

Trump guy: so?

Harris: there weren't planes back then

Trump: has that been fact checked?

Harris: don't need to fact check it it's just true

Trump: well I would need to know the context he was saying that in.

Harris: what context would be good?

Trump: well he was making an analogy, you know what he meant to say

Me (thinking): YOU JUST SAID YOU DONT HAVE CONTEXT SO WHICH IS IT?
 
Just checked. Even hot-air balloons weren't used until after 1790.
Not like a tactical hot-air balloon would require an "airfield," either. They just go up...and down.

I was thinking (yes terrible idea) on the way to work today, that if cumsock wins, they will essentially end the 2nd ammendment. But was wondering how, they would have to boil the frog, but what would be the steps?

1. Illegal immigrants caught with gun equals enormous penalty.
2. Legal imigrant but not yet a citizen caught with gun equals automatic rejection of status.
3. ?

It's clear and obvious from a holistic, literalist, generalist reading of the constitution that 2A was only ever intended to apply to white men, considering anyone else want considered a citizen. So let's approve a skin color/DNA test for gun ownership. This isn't infringement because the good guys are doing it, and what, are you in favor of black and Hispanic criminals having guns? They're not organized, and their gangs aren't militia!
