    Best part about all this:

    I know who the racists are in my community when they plop a Trump sign in their yard.

        1 would be too many, but they’re still the minority. they can only win if Dem turnout is low.

          I dunno, I see them trying to steal the election if it isn’t a landslide. If it’s a landslide, then Johnson and SCROTUS won’t have any ground to stand on. But if it’s even remotely close, then they’ll try to steal.

              No, 49% of people who actually voted. 66% of eligible voters voted in the 2020 election and it had the highest turnout in over 120 years.

              32% of eligible American voters voted for Trump in 2020. This “half of America supports Trump” saying needs to die. It’s just not true.

            Authoritarians are always 30-35% of a given population. The only way they get any power is for the rest of the population to fall asleep at the wheel.

            That’s what happened in 2016, if you look at what percentage of the “likely voters” actually vote, answer polls, ect., you’re going to end up at around 30% of America vote republican.

            In Nazi Germany 33% of the population put him in a position of power, and then they strong armed the rest of the government into copitulating control.

            Remember. Its always the weak and stupid motherfuckers who fuck everyone else over so vote so they never have control.

              You’re forgetting the other 30% that formed a voting bloc with them because they were scared the socialists might give poor people human rights.

      This is why he is so damn dumb, he’s already got the racist vote! So lay off that shit and work on the moderates!

      I’m glad Trump thinks he knows everything though so he more than likely wont listen to sound advice.

        And the funny thing is, from his point of view (not mine, okay?), shouldn’t Kamala claiming she’s black a plus for his campaign?

        “Another black president?! Hell no!”

        I’m not sure why he does what he does. I guess he likes to stir shit up for the sake of stirring shit up.

          I think it’s more that he needs black voters so he’s trying to tell them that she’s lying to them so she can “steal” their votes.

          Typical asshole of course.

            Which is even more asinine because - and I’m not going to pretend that racist black people don’t exist - he is trying to apply the same logic that works with his non-black followers. Replace black with white - “Kamala now says she’s white!!!” And you can tell that that’s how he thinks.

          He thinks ratings are end all be all. Say some stupid shit to stay in the news just like Elon and people eat it up. It brings people to watch the main broadcasts because it’s not “boring”. That’s why I think most media sites would do well to ignore those types for a bit

        Yeah, he’s really dumb about these kinds of things.

        When he went back on revealing Epstein info because “some people will have their names exposed who didn’t do anything wrong”, he’s being so transparent and so stupid. If he says he’s going to release info, he doesn’t actually have to release info. More than anyone else in the world, Trump should understand that, but he doesn’t.
