I don't know, I might be totally wrong on this, but I'm going to keep going, and You're welcome to ignore me.
I just don't see Trump’s base growing, and yeah I know the electoral system is ratfucked, and it might not matter, but do you honestly see him having more support?
I see a base that has calcified, I see him alienating every kind of voters but rich people and sexist racist white men.
If this race comes down to women, people of color, senior citizens, and young voters, then we just need to get out and fucking vote, and if early voting means anything, then we have.
Also, it seems like every day another Republican comes out denouncing Trump saying they won't vote for him, and some even supporting and campaigning for Harris. We've all been so worried about hidden Trump voters, but maybe they should be worried about hidden Harris voters.
And did you all see Trump’s meltdown about the Iowa poll, he said it was illegal and suppression. It seriously makes me wonder what the internall Republican polling numbers are, and why Trump is so sensitive to just one poll.
Another aside, even Joe Rogan seemed fed up, he gave Trump space to prove that the 2020 election was stolen, and after a few minutes of Trump rambling, Rogan just looked embarrassed and like his head was going to explode. It would be hilarious, if this election wasn't so important.
@RickiTarr Narcissistic Collapse.
He’s experiencing it on the daily. He knows he’s a loser, but can never let on that he is.
@RickiTarr I think inflation might have swapped a few voters. Not that it was Biden’s fault but they blame him.
@madrobin It's possible, people are stupid, and don't understand how the economy works, and the fact that Biden has tried to lower inflation but Republicans keep voting it down.
Because the internal numbers look bad. Worse than the public polls.
@dangrsmind That is my guess too or at least my big ole hope.
@RickiTarr it's really the only logical explanation of his behavior and other people around him. Many of them have vanished. Elon Musk is talking about a dead squirrel.
@dangrsmind @RickiTarr Fox News is offering the dead squirrel a weekly show with Jesse.
@RickiTarr @dangrsmind If you were going to bet on which group will actually get their shit together and do something, would it be:
a) women
b) young men
Also, some unknown people have put lots of ads on Pornhub targeting people from swing states pointing out that Project 2025 states that they will ban porn.
A campaign pitch aimed at young men that both makes women afraid to have sex and bans pornography might not be totally appealing.
I don't know anything about that ad campaign so I have nothing to say about it.
As far as your question, I'm of course supporting women and it's not a "bet" because this isn't gambling.
@dangrsmind @RickiTarr To give Harris a last minute help, it might be good to boost that NPR story. It was not covered enough.
It's irrelevant.
Trump supporters won't believe this story and Harris supporters have other reasons to vote.
Note Trump has not actually banned pornography and didn't when he was president.
I do not agree this is effective messaging nor do I think it needs to be boosted at all.
The data is very clear about the election being decided by women and not pornography consumers.
I think you are confused.
@dangrsmind @RickiTarr One group is dominating college education and moving up in the world. Another group is playing video games and moaning.
I have three sons in this age bracket. One of them is working at a polling location in Los Angeles. Another is studying astrophysics and has midterms this week. My youngest son has a stats test and is running a successful business.
None of them support Trump.
This is trolling, goodbye.
@rrb @dangrsmind Seriously, if that won't get young men to vote, I don't know what will lol
@RickiTarr @dangrsmind The men would not be motivated to vote for Trump, though.
There are some men that would like that messaging: Thomas, Alito, Vance, multiple incels.
@RickiTarr Il Douche is losing it. I just wish I felt more confident that he's losing 'it'.
@deedeeque My feelings exactly lol
@RickiTarr He endorsed him anyway.
@mfennvt He's such a fucking dick, plus racist sexist white men is where all his wealth is, he's a coward.
@RickiTarr ma'am
I like your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter
Just look at the energy of that crowd. Everyone hanging on his every word in rapt attention.
@StefanEJones
Bored into submission.
@StefanEJones @RickiTarr Probably paid minimum wage by Musk to attend.
@StefanEJones @RickiTarr I was told that to get the money, just show up and fill the seat. If you want me to actually pretend to pay attention, that's going to be $1000 more. Per hour.
@log @StefanEJones @RickiTarr hope they got the cash as they walked in the door
@tirrimas @StefanEJones @RickiTarr Cash up front for every Trump job. Even his devoted minions ought to know by now.
@log @tirrimas @StefanEJones It's true, he owes money everywhere.
@StefanEJones
Be nice, for a lot of those folks standing behind Trump it’s their last day at work. They’re going to have to get a real job now.
@bigheadtales @StefanEJones Lol yeah, and they're unemployable outside Nazi circles. Womp womp.
@StefanEJones @LiefhebberV @RickiTarr A sad bunch, but still they vote for Trump. I have just one question, WHY ?????
#VoteVoteVote #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy #HarrisWalz2024
@ericschutte @LiefhebberV @RickiTarr "The price of eggs and gas." Scared of immigrants. Worried about losing traditional privilege.
@StefanEJones @RickiTarr Looks like the kind of people conditioned to showing up at church every Sunday because they have to or else burn in hell, but they secretly hate all of it. (Like I used to.)
@RickiTarr If Trump is so worried about suppression, maybe he shouldn't have spent the last 4 years telling his base that everything is rigged. I'm genuinely curious to what extent his election denialism will convince his own supporters to stay home.
@RickiTarr
The big difference this time is that his base is largely irrelevant except for their willingness to vote for him. The real danger is in the legions of grifters of all stripes who will move in to take over and destroy the government and the country if he is elected. The 2025ers and nationalists and proudboy types are the tip of the iceberg.
