65. dems can get republican senators to drop him before that
Mon Jun 22, 2020, 01:55 PM
Jun 2020

his ability to sell voter fraud is built on at least 2 decades of lying from limbaugh-led radio stations and their continued coordination in service to trump, with putin using them as well, depends on americans ignoring them. those are key to trump thinking he can sell that voter fraud bullshit.

it not only enables him and most other republicans, it allows him, through limbaugh and his leadership of all the other blowhards to intimidate most other republican politicians. they're counting on limbaugh to lead the chorus screaming about voter fraud when they find or create a few examples they can use over and over and over. talk radio is the only medium they completely control AND can be controlled and coordinated on the local and state level. all close or critical elections are going to be challenged by screaming hordes brought out by those radio stations (very small groups of dittoheads, trumpers, teabags with very loud radio stations in their sails sounding much bigger then they are). republicans count on dems ignoring it as usual like we have for the last 30 years, with media calling them 'popular movements'.

without those radio stations on his side 15 hrs/day he can't do shit and he's freaking out, along with a lot of republican politicians that it's leader limbaugh is going to croak before long. he was missing again today.

all it would take is a few, even one famous athlete saying they want their teams (100s of pro and university teams) to stop broadcasting on KKK talk radio and the whole 30 years talk radio empire will fall apart with advertisers and ad agencies doing all the work.

but those athletes don't know how they have been used to excuse racism and sell the myth there is no racism or white privilege

without talk radio there on his side there are a bunch of GOP senators that would drop him and if dems/nancy go for another impeachment it would not be hard to get the senators needed.

no need to see trump naked in the street
