Trump Is Losing Low Information Voters G. Elliot Morris: “In 2024, the voters who knew the least about politics were some of Donald Trump’s strongest supporters. One pre-election poll found Americans who didn’t consume any news at all said...

I love it: low knowledge voters. My neck hurts from combining crying/SMH/LMAO all at once. Sometimes you have to call it what it is: the fucking idiot class doesn’t like pay more for beer & ciggies.

Not sure how to react. Dem leaders spending millions on their messaging platform development. I guess when you don’t have a clear message it doesn’t matter how much you spend on platform development.

Does our current craziness end like Albania (election route, peaceful)? Or like the French Revolution (violent, crazy man replaced crazy folk)? Given there’s no strong opposition leader (Schumer et al?) and the “fuck you, we’re never letting go!” attitude via Bondi I’m leaning the latter (sorry).

I guess Massie and mtg rediscovered their inner maga for the SAVE vote.

Is anyone in this administration not a psychopath?

false populism->con man leaders->takeover of law enforcement&military&judicial&legislature -> turn citizens against each other -> lose popularity -> too late. sound familiar? the difference:250 years of democracy (flawed?) is hard to take away. one thing americans hate is taking stuff away from them

finally the politics of grievance is getting the play it deserves as a MAJOR underlying attribute of, not only MAGA, but RePugness in general. combine that with ignorance/low information exposure and boom - Fascism. The thing is, you can't fix this. You just can't so you have to work with it.

Rumors that the whole thing was pre-recorded some unknown date at U of N Dakota Grand Forks in the basketball arena (capacity 3000) and most of the 6M were bots.

If I were in Brussels I would suggest to EU leaders they should flood the US market with English translations of all their major newspapers. As the escalation of Epstein driven EU member countries firings/resignations it just may embarrass some concrete action here. Who knows.

135M (Bad Bunny) to 6M (TPUSA). >10 pt special election (SE) wins. Its not Dem Leadership popping corks time. RePugs did not win 2024 - Dem Leaders lost -> institutional failure. Same for RePugs in these SE. Buried after-action report; yikes. Anyone seen any institutional changes? Go Progressives!

Can you imagine mayor Mamdani’s expression when, already knowing SDNY and NYC’s FBI offices are a bit suspect, he gets the news about the prosecutor’s Epstein “apparent suicide” date snafu?

Let me provide the answer key for our Dem leaders:
Is Trump a racist: absolutely! He is racist in chief.
Are Republicans fascist: absolutely! They are against democracy and our constitution.
Is white Christian nationalism a form of Nazi-ism? Absolutely! It wants to abolish anything that isn’t.

Good points. I watched the DoD morph towards RMF over my 40 years. It’s one tough set of challenges and not enough understand it in the decision making chain.

Fun fact: call it 174 million eligible voters, 35% hard core MAGA (using latest Marist ICE poll) gives 61 million. That alone is more folks than all but 24 countries. That’s a lot of Nazis.

Watching Repugs with their obsession with Passports and birth certificates, how many rednecks from Bumfuck, ‘Murica have those? They’re all Chip Diller in Animal House “thank you sir, may I have another?” (And sincere apologies to Kevin Bacon for using that image)

Sorry, can’t resist. Dementia Donny degrading rapidly (criminal layer 1). Miller no longer in the background. Bannon more visible. JD doing what JD does. Wiles still quite. (criminal layer 2). Anyone want to play match the oligarch(s) (layer 3) to layer 2? Backed by layer 4 (Johnson et al). Hmmm😊

woke up feeling cynical. too many Dem Leaders "doing the best we can!". began a long time ago (before my time): wealth imbalance acceleration. but really pushed under Reagan, Dem triangulation, corporate consolidation, American Flag pins, The Big Short (and no one in prison), Citizens United...

Bannon reminds of watching the 3-card Monte tables in the E Village (Cooper '83/84). Its all a con. They're simply scaring nonwhite into not voting. In "Electoral College 'Murica" you need to do the same to the other side. What's their big play? Don't watch the cards, don't bet.

its hard tracking what's going on in the world when we have such a disaster at home that includes our corporate media. but China and Iran - holy cow. It begs the question "haven't our RePugs learned anything about history?" Power exists in its exercise and no one is safe.

dare i say it: is there kompromat on our Dem Leaders? What is the line that these Fascists will cross for Dem Leaders to call for national action? what is the cause of this fecklessness?

wow. i can't tell what i hate more about RePugs: the criminality, cowardice or hypocrisy. Between 2A and States Rights; what, they all of a sudden realized we can use it too?? Jeez.

What have we learned today: 1) Tulsi Gabbard is a really bad Putin person; 2) DoJ is actively holding back the worst of Epstein files: 3) Trump believes toilets are a leftist conspiracy

Someone should do an ignorance Venn diagram: actual, willful and feigned. RePugs are the overlap of all 3, their voters overlap actual and willful. DOJ, Supreme Court and DHS overlap willful and feigned. In this universe, Democracy advocates are the outside force squeezing the boundaries to zero.

As stunningly corrupt as the acceleration of bad shit is showing us, there does seem to be a convergence occurring. Putin’s information operation, Trump-operating-Epstein-fronting human trafficking ring, oligarch manipulation, Federalist Society/Heritage Foundation unveiling, Dem Leadership decay…

SNL’s “changed my mind” skit was so on target in so many ways. How ‘bout we petition the DNC (since they’re so great at messaging) to fund playing that skit four times as a Super Bowl add? Once per quarter. Whatdaya say? “But he’s still a great businessman” was my favorite. Too funny.

yes, the ole' pants pooper himself wrote this. yeah right. Wiles and Miller are pissed off to write that many words that is basically a big middle finger to the rest of us.
