Donald Trump

Agree with all, except your “in reality” statement, which while true is not the narrative repeated and beaten to death in the U.S.

One’s intellect, based on verifiable data and formulated from experience, is constantly challenged by politically divisive media which states “alternative facts.”

Indeed, there are interviews online where, when speaking to Joe and Jane Public, regardless of the fact set presented, Joe’s and Jane’s internal monologue tells them that things are just too expensive and the country is going in the wrong direction due to crime and illegal immigration!

It’s no coincidence that these are the exact talking points of the Right and are even regurgitated by the Left-leaning media at times, because explaining truth us harder than spouting platitudes!

A simple series of questions:

1) What can the current President do about 4% inflation?

2) What would Trump do, if elected?

3) What has caused the inflation and U.S. that unique to the U.S. or is it a more global phenomenon?

4) Is crime up or down?

5) How about retail theft?

Get answers (or what passes for them) to those questions and I think I could venture a guess on how that person voted in 2020 and will vote in 2024.

Biden needs to start changing the narrative with facts and the Democratic Party needs to decide whether they’re going to get squarely behind him or keep whispering about how they’d like a younger, more vibrant candidate to go against a frankly “aging in dog years, but even more made-up” Donald Trump.

We look like we e run out of intelligent ideas and that for the 70 years the country has been unable to develop someone who could both be the President and project the strength Americans seem to require of their President. And, too many will accept the latter over the former, if it becomes a choice!

I think the narrative is and should be one and only one: if Trump wins, democracy may very well die.

That should motivate anyone more than whatever the CPI is doing, more than whomever is running against him. If that doesn’t do it, then convincing people GDP growth is good and AI will be well-regulated under Biden isn’t going to.

I don’t think there’s much of a call for someone young or someone progressive or whatever. There may be a wish, but not a call. I think the wake-up threat the SC’s abortion ruling let loose in state after state will likely be a major motivator. Biden should repeat that, over and over and over, as a narrative.
 
While I agree there is no-one clamoring for someone else in particular, I have concerns that the large black, esp female, voter turnout that propelled Joe to the Oval is much more ambivalent this time because they’ve been hurt more than most by inflation and the rising cost of rent & food.

Their imperatives seem to be more immediate, and concrete, than the notion that democracy is on the line.

Believe me, I hope Joe wins hands down and Trump is in jail on Election Day, but I’m not feeling very confident of either narrative today!
 
"Be quiet in court"

"NO!!"

Obviously not playing with a full deck, have they no contempt laws they could lob him in nick for?
