Nah, Americans usually go with the charismatic guy, even if he's a moron. Bush won the popular vote AFTER invading Iraq. Only something major can get them to not care about charisma, like Covid in '20.

Peripheral routes of persuasion.

Instead of evaluating the content of the message (i.e. for truth.. not that that means much any more) they're persuaded by the best performance.

Which is dangerous because Trump with his showmanship edge and absence of moral compass could be a conduit for a broligarchy and project 2025. Which is precisely what happened.

Didn't help that Biden was in it so late and was essentially a zombie at the end.

Still disappointing to see the turnout from democratic voters.

Trump has just invoked the Alien Enemy Act of 1798, ostensively to target Latin American prison gangs, but can be broadly interpreted to mean... well... anybody.

Ya this is one of those things that may go under the radar with everything on the news but this really opens the flood gates.

You realize it could be both things, right? I've talked about how Trump went after the loser incel crowd hitting podcast after podcast and letting losers like the Nelk Boys and Theo Von jack him off but the other reasons are legitimate as well.

He's lost billions on Tesla; that's the real price, but still well worth it due to the way Starlink will profit.

Yeah I'm more centre-left, was centre-right growing up but things flipped in my late 20s. Either way I'm definitely a moderate, and can handle both sides in power as long as it's not extreme. Despite that, it's pretty clear who the "bad guys" are right now...elbows up.

Liberals: "We can't commit violence to defeat fascists."

Fascists: *do fascist #### that's inherently violent*

Gavin Newsom has a new podcast out, and even he is inviting all right wing guests.
