It’s not really restraining them at the moment.

This adage is also reversible.

who has been caught cheating on 66% of his wives

FTFY.

Whatever the maga hive mind decides over the next couple days.

A lot of someones did remind him of that after Hurricane Maria, when he loudly bragged about getting on the phone with “the president of Puerto Rico” and was subsequently reminded that that was him.

Honestly, that’s probably 90% of the reason he even went to Puerto Rico (and threw paper towel rolls at them).

It’s even worse: it’s “I never thought the leopards who said they would eat all faces and actually ate several on live TV would ever actually eat any faces,” says person voting for leopards eating faces party because they promised to eat faces.

There are no such things as facts that come from outside of their leaders mouth.

Except when he says stuff that they don’t like, in which case they say “oh, he didn’t really mean it.”

Some of them do. Most of them believe, despite his own statements to the contrary, that he’d never do such a thing.

Also Taylor Swift. What a world we live in.

There are plenty of kids who just turned 18 this year. They were 9 when Trump began his first campaign, and certainly don’t remember any political reality before it.

I don’t think enough of them will be voting for lols this time to matter, but it’s worth noting that every electorate for every election is distinct.

Saved you a click: they shared the video of him nodding off but added a lullaby.

I’m kinda thinking we maybe try trickle-up for a few years.

It’s not going to make a difference with conservatives

It’s not going to make a difference with MAGAs. Nothing will. But the hold-their-nose Republicans are already starting to question whether or not everything they have been told about her is true, and casting further doubt on that could be enough to get them to leave the “President” line on the ballot blank. Seeing her responses, unfiltered by a pundit, could absolutely start that questioning. It could even start dominoes falling in their head that end up with a party affiliation shift in 2028 or 2032.

and it’s not going to make a difference with her own base.

As you can see in this very thread, her excellent performance is definitely infusing more enthusiasm into her base. There’s already a huge enthusiasm gap between the two candidates, and she’s running up the score. That makes a measurable difference.

Probably not for independents either.

Actually—

The biggest win is probably that she can say she did it, and Trump is too afraid to do the same.

—I think this right here actually helps her with independents quite a bit. The ones I’ve talked to value discourse so much that hearing she’s willing to engage with the other side like this might make them take notice.

That they’re everywhere. I have uBO on my browser and actively choose against places and experiences with advertising whenever I can, but it still feels like it’s everywhere. Hey, that’s a nice mountain. Can you not with the billboard? It’s like sponsored vandalism.

You know how Trump supporters are like, “he says what we’re all thinking!”?

The future first gentleman actually does.

“Believe women” doesn’t mean “use the trauma of abused women as a costume to lend legitimacy to your baseless attacks,” pal.

Seems like the current plan is to just wipe out all generational wealth instead, for every ancestry. We’ve given up on a rising tide lifting all boats and instead we’re draining the harbor.

I don’t believe reparations are politically possible right now, but “we can’t fix the problem so we shouldn’t even try” just doesn’t feel like the right move here.

It’ll be on the first Starship from Mars.

THIS IS AN OP-ED

For crying out loud, you’d think this bot would know the difference
