I force myself to check into that cesspool once in a while. Today there was a post about this lunacy from Trump claiming that Kamala is faking crowd pics. There were more than a few people who expressed frustration, saying he should leave this to his staff, or he should be talking about policy and Bidens record.
Love it. Cracks in the wall. Tiny cracks, but tiny cracks grow large.

(31,093 posts)i think the magats in my world may come to their senses but don't expect them to announce it to me when they do?
on the premise that coming to their senses means acknowledging that they have been had, which is hard and probably harder when you have to eat crow in front of people who didn't get had.

(965 posts)I first misread "in front of people who didn't get had" as in front of people who didn't get laid.
I suspect there are a lot of MAGAs who don't get laid, and it accounts for their ugly disposition.

(15,329 posts)just won't be happy until they have our Social Security trust fund, have ended Medicare, and essentially stripped the government of all ability to protect us.
Charlie Koch and his Heritage Foundation greed lizards don't WANT the MAGAts to even be aware of any policies. Because their policies will actually HURT the MAGATs and Charlie just doesn't want them to be 'woke' to this at all. This is why they rail so much against 'wokeness.'
Of course, the opposite of 'woke' is asleep, and that is JUST what the billionaires want - their useful idiots who vote in people who will give them tax cuts, strip our treasury to line their pockets must remain ignorant until it is too late.
The MAGATs have been heavily propagandized. It really IS a cult, but the puppet masters are NOT Trump and Vance. They are just symptoms. It is the billionaires and Wall Street who are pulling the republic down around our feet.

(35,443 posts)were ready to release the book. I do agree that capital is in charge, it's just interesting that they let it out. I guess they were arrogant enough to think that the masses wouldn't believe it even if they read it.
PatrickforB
(15,329 posts)We are incredibly fortunate that this is so, because if they hadn't released it in writing, they could just sit back and lie like they always have.
But they really thought Trump would win over Biden, and they had to recruit thousands of true believers to fill all those schedule F positions right away when Trump won.
Then Biden stepped down as the nominee and endorsed Harris - now, I think he had this worked out in advance with Pelosi, Schumer and Jeffries, because I have NEVER seen the Democratic party coalesce this fast. And then Harris chose Walz, which has turned her campaign into a juggernaut.
Now, the billionaires are freaking out, Trump is deteriorating into a mass of delusional anger, and the fake electors are working feverishly to be in position to contest the votes. That is the billionaires' only hope, but if we show up at the polls in a giant blue tsunami like I think will happen, that won't even work.
It is so amazing watching these forces play out right in front of our eyes. Our species might actually be raising our consciousness enough to grow up, stop systematically destroying the earth for the sake of billionaire and Wall Street greed.
For the first time in years, I am hopeful. In fact, I might even say that I am joyfully optimistic.
Feels GREAT, doesn't it?
I don't know if you have ever read Power vs Force by David Hawkins, but he developed a logarithmic scale of human consciousness. The higher level begins with reason, then advances to love, then peace, then pure joy.
That is why I say I am joyfully optimistic, because this joy is literally parting the clouds of MAGA darkness and shining light throughout the republic.
Justice matters.
(9,281 posts)To keep the joyful optimism going with real progress, otherwise the repukes will block all progress (with the help of the "centrist" dems?).

(2,203 posts)MAGAts want their unpopular policies broadcast to the public? ("See Project 2025", also works as a response here, except that they figured out it's electoral poison).
TBF
(35,443 posts)they had to know what the response would be even if someone accidentally found it. eta - and they didn't just put it out there in general terms - the pdf of the book is still on the website!

(2,280 posts)Sometimes he's able to remember the last thing some rich guy said to him. That's it. That's all he's got. There's no policies. Have they not noticed how he can contradict himself, sometimes in the exact same interview?
ProfessorGAC
(75,682 posts)There haven't been any policies since 2015, aside from those tax cuts, which were never his idea.
"The Border!" is not a policy. It's a hot button.
"I hate NATO!" is not a policy. It's a display of ignorance.
They still think there are/were policies?

(95,556 posts)He should be talking about policy? His policy is to stay out of jail and when that is done he will rape America for every last cent and leave the rest of us behind.
When are they going to get that!

And the freedom Trump's world allowed for their public displays of personal affliction.

(10,696 posts)to ever get out of him is nonsensical bluster like drill baby drill. Or mass deportations. Or just pivot away to made up personal attacks. He really cant answer questions pertaining to how he would solve issues except to give very simplistic replies, like build a wall or dig a moat stocked with snakes and alligators. He has no critical thinking ability at all. Hes stupid.

(3,136 posts)Accusing someone else of lying about crowd sizes is about as classically Trump as you get. It's something so fucking stupid that only this moron would ever lie about it, and now that he's clearly losing at the stupid thing he's obsessed with, it's clearly the other guy who is cheating.
He's like a fucking toddler without any of the cuteness.

(361 posts)For one thing, it would be nice to see a lot of families come back together and heal. So many fractured, families and friendships caused by this horrible man and his brainwashing. It will be our job to forgive them for being taken in. Im not going to say that will be easy, because I think it reveals a lot about peoples character if they followed him.
