I keep thinking about it and these are two facts that I can't get around.
1. Based on exit polling, the people who voted for Trump were massively misinformed, objectively speaking.
2. There is a massive right-wing media which disseminates this misinformation. It's not just Fox News.
3. Due to a combination of factors, the people who vote for Trump tend to silo themselves off from any contradictory information.
I don't know how we get around this problem, but blaming it on "Democratic messaging" is just silly. Messaging doesn't matter if the people who are voting never hear that message, and the Democrats can't force them to hear it.
Jimmy Kimmel: “It was a terrible night for women for children…For our allies in Ukraine for NATO…a terrible night for everyone who voted against him, and guess what? It was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too. You just don't realize it yet”
If your response to Gen John Kelly, gold star father & Trump’s WH chief of staff, confirming that Trump praised Hitler & called members of our military “suckers and losers” is to defend Trump, you need to look in the mirror and realize your dishonor will live forever.
I am once again begging you not to believe any candidate who says the government is not helping in Western, NC.
I am here. FEMA, state, & federal resources are EVERYWHERE. The progress on our roads & power grid is phenomenal. My family has already gotten our check from FEMA. 1/2
“To anyone paying attention, it is clear that Trump is not in any shape to manage the government of the United States of America. He is canceling interviews and botching the ones he does sit for, while falling asleep at events where he is not actually speaking. He lies incessantly even when hosts point out that his claims have been debunked, and cannot answer a question or follow a train of thought. And his comments of the weekend—calling the vice president a ‘sh*t vice president,’ and musing about a famous golfer’s penis—indicate that he has no mental guardrails left.” — @HC_Richardson (Oct. 20, 2024).
True freedom gives each of us the right to make decisions about our own life – how we worship, who we marry, what our family looks like. And we believe that freedom requires us to recognize that other people have the freedom to make different choices.
That’s what @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz believe.
Obama: "When Donald Trump repeatedly lies or cheats or shows utter disregard for our Constitution, or just insults people ... people make excuses for it. They say, 'He's not serious.' Everything a president says is serious!"
My Administration will continue to do whatever it takes to help those that need it most.
To date, we have delivered more than $137 million in Individual Assistance, more than 14.9 million meals and over 13.9 million liters of water to those affected by Hurricane Helene.
Explain to your subscribers why a presidential candidate calling for one "really violent day" failed to make your front page, @nytimes and @washingtonpost.

JD Vance on Taylor Swift: “I don't think many people are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think is disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.”
Say what you want about CNN’s journalistic competence, but nobody can reasonably argue that they don’t know how to make media.
Check my LinkedIn, and you’ll see I know a thing or two about which I speak; the dank lighting, the distracting background, the composition (Harris looked like she was sitting in a high-chair), the cut rate furniture all point to one thing:
CNN intentionally made Harris look bad. Very bad. Like an amateur. As if Harris and Walz showed up in the CNN lobby at 4pm and begged Dana Bash to come downstairs for a YouTube interview.
CNN had the time and resources to make this look professional, and they didn’t. I think we should ask ourselves why…
Here’s the frame for reference:
Doug and I just spoke to Jon and Rachel, Hersh Goldberg-Polin's parents, to express our condolences following the brutal murder of their son by Hamas terrorists. My heart breaks for their pain and anguish.
I told them: As they mourn this terrible loss, they are not alone. Our nation mourns with them.
