IMHO what's sad isn't a moronic potus, it's that he can be this horrendous and still might win

Of course there are sociopaths who attain fame and power, but how can our citizens be so stupid as to keep this one in power? Afer all the blunders and failures and lying and economic cratering, they STILL will keep their maga signs and hats and tshirts and rallies.

THAT's what's so sad.

1. Sad isn't a strong enough word. Dangerous and catastrophic come to mind.

[pwb]

2. I have never seen anyone wear a maga hat. Ever.

Trump will be humiliated in November.

4. Come to Kansas. Lots of red hats here...

... I remember my youngest being frightened of them after watching the news with us nightly. She was 9. 😢

5. I have a cousin in Kansas working to change it for the better.

She tells me they are winning some? The blue is strong.

7. We have MAGA hats, Q hats and t-shirts, and Trump-Pence yard signs everywhere.

I reckon it depends on where you live.

By the way, I have yet to see any Biden yard signs.

8. I was at my elderly aunt's house and needed a cap at high noon-

She pulled out a MAGA hat and held it out to me. She was grinning sort of tauntingly. I said I'd go bareheaded.

She was so proud of that hat and that she might get me to put it on.

3. Yes, it is. Frankly, I blame us for allowing him. Not "us" as in our side, but the...

nation as a whole, of which we are a part.

At the very least, we have to find a way to have a voice promoting our vision for the nation. Too many people can't find it, or don't believe it.

6. The cult's neurons have been definitely been bamboozled or moonstruck!

Sane ones live with high approval of that covert institutionalized racism; some attracted to the chaos and masterful cons he can't help but orchestrate via psychological mental/limbic "issues" in his own hippocampus and amygdala; some with other cognitive mental "issues" are given permission by the psychopath/sociopath to act out through incited lethal violence in hopes of undeniable exploitative coded praise and direction in the "mission" toward American apocalyptic end of days.

9. I agree. It doesn't say much for us as a nation that Turd is in the White House in the first place.

10. One could say that...

Those who support and vote for him are looking at a reflection and that's their responsibility. They find a pathetic confirmation for the deeply set biases they hold, some wittingly, some out of pure ignorance of who and what they are.

Biases are transparent to the wearer like colored glasses that, if worn for a while, are acclimatized to and go unnoticed.

Know thyself still applies.

11. He gets within spitting distance of winning just with RW Propaganda

generating hate for Dems and Libs.

[lettucebe]

12. He cannot win without some massive cheating -- he didn't win the first time and now

things are drastically different. For one thing, there is no detested other candidate. People love Biden. Not everyone, of course, but for the most part because he's a good, decent man. He's not a psychopath.

There is simply no math that gives tRump the win this time. None. He has done everything in his power to lose voters that did vote for him; nothing to try to win new voters. He's trashed the US in the eyes of the world. He will not win. Period.

13. Incumbency is a massive, massive advantage

Trump is in the most favorable scenario in American politics, as an incumbent whose party has been in power only one term. Only Jimmy Carter has lost in that situation in more than a century. The benefit of a doubt is extraordinary.

It shapes up like this: We cannot defeat Donald Trump. He can only lose it himself. I am always pessimistic in this scenario. I make no apologies about that. This time I am intentionally not pay much attention at all, while hoping Trump continues to blow it just enough to lose a squeaker election. There is no such thing as a Biden landslide. If we win it will be the 2016 electoral map again except Biden winning the states Hillary narrowly lost.

Maybe some chance in Florida, Arizona and North Carolina. But as I mentioned I'm not paying attention to state polls or anything else. It's not worth it. I hate waking up to anything Trump said or did. I just want to get to election night and learn that Donald Trump did indeed blow it.
