Half his voters vote for him because of the language. The rest just vote R. Has this guy been in a coma for the last 8 years?

I hope you'll forgive me for disagreeing with fascists on both the path and the destination...

The words "humble" and Trump" don't really work together, do they?

Oh totally, I didn’t mean to imply otherwise that the extreme views should be just coddled and accepted. It’s the fact that the extreme views are becoming normalized and accepted within the parties, as well as the people who are more centrist on both sides of the aisle not doing anything to work together that bothers me. I use both parties quite loosely to be somewhat balanced but I see the right having a far, far bigger issue here obviously.

Holy smokes, those Trump supporters at the end of that clip have gone completely off the rails. Imagine being that easily brainwashed.

If you're Biden and the Dems, how can you possibly convince morons like that to vote for you? You can't at this point. These people are obviously beyond saving and their brains have turned to mush.

So the Hur report was pure republican hackery? Colour me shocked. Not a serious party. Not serious people. If one still supports them I would have to question their grasp on reality.

That last Stewart video should be required watching for anyone wanting to comment on political affairs in the US.

Not necessarily.

Sometimes people who are "brainwashed" are just really extreme in their current belief, but they can also be very gullible, or "re-brainwashable".

Even if you can't get them to vote Biden, if you find the right button they can stay home.

The hard part is, you have to get inside their worldview to find those buttons. You can't argue against them, but if you find a way in which something they already believe means they can't vote for Trump, you've got them.

I guess one example could be that Trump ordered Mike Johnson to block the vote on a bipartisan bill to address the border situation. The more people find out that Trump didn't want to do anything about the border and undocumented immigration, the more would-be Trump voters stay home on election day. Or that might just be wishful thinking. But it's worth spreading the word about this just in case it might help.

Rule of thumb - don't elect a presidential candidate and running mate who both appeared on Joe Rogan. One of them is bad enough.
