She's a right wing hero though, it's easy to think she's off the deep end but a huge portion of America views that interview and thinks she owned him and made America look strong and free.

Sure the red wave became a pink trickle and she lost but it's not like her faction is going away.

Trump voters reveling in their Trumpiness before Trump's announcement, being as gross as expected.

'Speaking from the ballroom at the Florida mansion that was treated as an active crime scene just over three months ago'

That's a line from a newspaper you would have never expected to read a decade ago

On a purely entertaining level, the republican debates should be fun. Trump will go full scorched earth on whoever he's facing, he won't give a #### but do his opponents (DeSantis or Pence or whoever) tiptoe around calling him out on Jan 6, or his false election claims so as not to upset the base or do they fight back and go for the jugular outing themselves as hypocritical in the process? Hopefully they all just destroy each other.

His online partisans literally refer to him as "GEOTUS" ... God-Emperor of the United States. They do this constantly, 11 posts in the last hour at the new hosting site of the former r/TheDonald community have GEOTUS in the thread title.

They, of course, would claim that it's a meme, that it's funny, that triggering me is the point. That the reason the "Kekistan" flag -- which will "ride again" in the meme-war for the God-Emperor (posted 1 hr ago, 1105 upvotes) -- is just a green Nazi flag is to "troll the libs" and nothing more.

Red wave didn’t materialize and my “Lake” of the week never materialized, so I concede to Lanny on that one.
Do you think anyone gives a #### what you “concede”?

You been asked about all sorts of #### that you’ve posted that has been complete lies and you’ve never responded.

Nobody cares about you.

Never understood it, but this opinion piece in Wapo is a pretty good description imo.

Quote:
Millions of White evangelical Protestants will therefore remain bonded with whatever cultlike figure can channel their anger. As long as he reaffirms and amplifies White evangelical Protestants’ fears, he can do no wrong. It also follows that a group that feels so besieged won’t much care about a candidate’s smarts, ethics or decency. Faced with a perceived existential threat, these Americans are inclined to support anyone who gives voice to their frustrations.
to me, it explains how people that ignore all the lies and despicable behavior from Trump and his acolytes.

In short, the breeding ground that manifest Trump won't end with Trump... like a cancer, you can cut it out, but that doesn't mean it will go away

That’s how you interpreted that interview?

It was not misogynistic, and Lake came across like a blathering, unhinged, wing nut.

“Trump or death”?

Why now? Why not in 2020?

She threw a temper tantrum because she didn't want to answer the tough questions being asked of her. Storming off the set like a spoiled 5 year old is no way for a supposed mature woman to act.
