Donald Trump

[ChicagoBlue]

Trump seems to be getting progressively more tired, labored and unhinged in his comments, while Harris appears to be broadening her outreach, conducting more interviews and town halls and getting in front of the “free” media as often as possible.

It really is simple:

1) Tell me the POLICIES Trump has elucidated to the masses.

2) Tell me the POLICIES Harris has elucidated to the masses.

3) Tell me who sounds cogent, stable, reasonable, and not a racist bigot trying to play on people’s basest instincts

4) Which one seems presidential in demeanor, tenor and tone, not to mention language?

5) Who spouts lies with every breath?


See, it’s clearly NOT a rational decision for many people!

If you took away party affiliation, I think it would be a landslide, but people are STILL tied to their party! People will tell you, “I really don’t like Trump, but I’m a Republican, so…”

It’s frustrating, infuriating even, but that’s the mindset we are dealing with.

Trump courts the religious and even evangelical vote on abortion, but fails even the most basic religious or evangelical test on moral grounds. He knows NOTHING about the Bible, yet SELLS CHINESE-MADE BIBLES ONLINE!!! I wonder if they have a 20% tariff?!

Trump courts the business vote, but seemingly knows nothing about business other than tax breaks, which is how he has made his money! He clearly doesn’t understand international trade and tariffs!

In fact, if you get a chance, watch The Rachel Maddow’s Show about the so-called “business decision” to vote for Trump. It EVISCERATES the “business” argument. It was shown on Monday and is probably available on line somewhere!

A few examples:

JOB CREATION…and feel free to ignore the steep drop in the pandemic!



REAL GDP DURING THEIR TENURE




It should be a no-brainer, but the no-brains crowd are on the wrong side of this one!!

The problem is that most of the electorate will not seem out this sort of data. They just hear the pledge that trump will halve their energy and grocery cost within a week of taking office, and that he'll take back blue collar /manufacturing jobs from overseas and within a month America will return to the post ww2 good times.
A very seductive message.

If the daft cunts fall for that then they get everything they deserve, it’s just a pity that they will inflict their stupidity on the rest of us.

That's the bottom line. All the intellectuals on here telling us what should happen, but there was always a good chance, and there still is a good chance, that the opposite will happen purely because the vast majority of voters aren't intellectuals. And don't like intellectualisation of issues that are important to them.

Maybe we are in a transition from a "keep the population dumb" era to a "these fucking dumb people are getting organised" internet era.

That Trump even has a sniff of being President tells me the US is heading for problems, soon if not right now

I saw a survey that said there's been a big increase in people identifying as "evangelical" who don't go to church. One guess is that they're identifying as evangelical only because supposedly Trump appeals to evangelicals.

Meanwhile, Evangelicals for Biden has rebadged. And the Billy Graham Association is complaining about breach of copyright...

Christ on a bike mate! As Chicago Blue very eloquently pointed out earlier, you don't need to be an 'intellectual' to understand the fundamental issues or, indeed, to arrive at a decision based purely on a moral and ethical grounds. It's just counting! There are none so blind as those who will not see. Sadly, significant swathes of the American electorate are so wedded to their party affiliations it seems apparent that GOP supporters will hold their collective noses and still vote for a narcissistic sociopath convicted of sexual abuse. If nothing else, even the remotest possibility of a Trump victory is a damning endictment of the American educational system! Turkeys voting for Christmas anyone?

….that only an uneducated fool would fall for….and you see thousands of them turn up at his rallies, although nowhere near the numbers of 2016/2020!!

Just to confirm, I’m not American—I’m English (Manchester) and Spanish (Zaragoza).

I do live in the US but can’t vote, as I am only a legal resident, so I do my best to oppose Trump with my very limited ability and capacity to do so these days (mostly texting outreach campaigns, action coordination, and pro bono data analytics work, as I am able).

I just wanted to add some context to your comments—I wasn’t attacking what you said or you, just pointing out that most of those articulating their reasoning for supporting Trump are doing so out of gullibility, ignorance, and/or malice for their fellow human beings (some just want others to suffer and see Trump as the way to realise that desire, even if they won’t admit it publicly).

At any rate, it’s unlikely it is 50% of the voting populous (that is, all the people who will actually vote in a few weeks) that support him (it’s definitely not 50% of all people that could vote).

But, unfortunately for the US, the insistence on retaining the electoral college—mostly through Republican obstructionism to any alternative (because it’s basically the only way a republican can get elected president at this point)—may see him win the election, anyway.

I hope that doesn’t happen. And am doing my part to avoid that outcome.

As a US immigrant can you please tell us what dogs or cats taste like?
