One month ago, former President Donald Trump seemed poised to retake the White House from an ailing President Joe Biden. Now that he’s falling behind Vice President Kamala Harris, people close to Trump’s campaign are complaining to Vanity Fair that the GOP nominee is only making matters worse. “It’s like he’s choosing to lose,” one of them vented.

    Why the fuck would people close to Diaper Dump Trump talk to the press about this?

    They want to give you a false sense of security.

    Vote like your world depends on it.

      They also know that Trump watches a dozen hours of Fox News and CNN per day, and that that is when he is paying the most attention. They’re trying to reach him where his brain lives.

      I know it sounds alarmist and overblown… but Democracy itself literally depends on all of us voting.

        That truly is alarmist and overblown… don’t buy into that crap. Neither candidate would “end democracy”, or be the end of America. Both sides are pushing that fear mongering bullcrap, but that’s all it is, bullcrap.

        Politics seem recently more into playing on the fears of people. Vote with your head, not your heart.
