Think this helps Trump ultimately. Saves him from the hit to the economy and solidifies backing of corporate donor class. He’ll take credit for that while also having a villain for his precious tariffs failing. Those are of course dissonant claims but it works for him since MSM doesn’t push back.

Forget bringing a knife to a gunfight—watch the gunfight from a safe distance and hope no one notices you

But do realize wo a good plan, the rightwing will demonize it relentlessly seeing it as a potential weakness, mainstream media will pick it up as an issue for Democrats, polling will then look unfavorable, and Dems won’t follow through saying it’s not what Americans want. Need to solve info wars.

Makes sense for an authoritarian regime, yes indeed

But there is that one dude with a Tik Tok video talking about the scourge of anti-blackness. Can’t the Dems see this is not what the American people want. They need to moderate!

Amazing how propaganda, identity, and the human ability to rationalize can get us here.

Too bad the team will go to the White House and kiss ass….

Prediction (not so bold): Neither will be in the game by the 4th inning

No wars except against people who have leaders that say mean things about him

Don’t think we’ve had a true reckoning — lasting anyway — over slavery and Jim Crow

Mainstream media would be hammering and moralizing Dems relentlessly if they did something like this.

Except for the Trump supporting white people. They all deserve government support because the country has been so hard on them.

Wait, aren’t you all about popularism? Polling shows majority of Americans believe ICE has overreached. Dems grabbing attention for Noem’s craziness and continuing to hammer them on this will help them nationally in races.

C’mon really? Next headline: “There is a legal case to turn the US into a monarchy and to institute apartheid—but there are many possible obstacles”

Politics is more than temperature-taking Political campaigns, the axiom has it, are nothing more than a math problem. Get 50 percent of the vote, plus one, and you win. Doesn't matter the race; that holds. So all a candidate needs to do, how...

The thing is, Democratic candidates already poll voters and align their platforms to match. But they're often burdened by a nationalized debate that's dominated by right-wing framing. www.pbump.net/o/politics-i...

Bringing a Survey to a Gun Fight “Pollingism” Has Failed Democrats and Voters. Here’s Why, and What to Do Instead.

Feel this assessment captures it. Stop chasing elusive voter sentiment on specific policies -- which is not accurate and is overwhelmed by partisanship -- and create "magneticism" pushing Ds' strengths (+ authentic beliefs) and attack R weakness. And be relentless with the messaging like the RW is.

Foreign interference 😂 Well that means that the Trump administration will punish Russia for election interference which actually occurred, right?

Would he be ok if people mocked his kids and wife? Never mind, of course he would if it made MAGA happy…

Fox News right now debating -- "should we tell our viewers they are really 'saying we can't stand you' or should we tell them the people supporting her are antifa terrorists"

Sure he is a psychopathic and corrupt imbecile, but I saw him fire people on tv and his name is on stuff. How could I have known he wouldn’t bring prices down?

Although he does know more about what drives them politically than they do themselves; they support him even as he destroys their lives. One hopes this will change but.... (checking watch for how long we've been dealing with this abhorrent shit)

“The protests are very small and a joke,” he says — while frantically generating AI cartoons to prove he’s in charge. It’s so small and such a joke that he needs to respond with a digital hissy fit. Yup definitely screams “strong leader”.

I’d put it at a 70% chance that Trump defensively tweets that he’s not incontinent and that it’s the Dems who really are. Heck, he’ll probably post AI slop of Schumer and Pelosi pooping.

Through most of his life, Jesus remained largely non-murderous

Trump will soon say that NYPD is part of antifa and that the National Guard needs to be called to stop them

Bari will claim that the protests are unfairly canceling her

Did you hear my fart? That was really powerful, actually. Perfect sound, and perfect smell. Sleepy Joe had the quietest, weakest farts. I create so much more wind than windmills.
