And every time a serious reporter asks MAGA what Trump has done for them, what specific policies enacted during his term were beneficial to them, what specific policy actions Trump has proposed for his potential 2nd term that they are excited about, they give a blank stare.
The biggest piece of cognitive dissonance I don't get with MAGAs is that they say they don't want to listen to celebrities and billionaires because they don't know what we want/need... and yet are shelling out thousands supporting the biggest celebrity "billionaire" out there.
They'll buy $300 Trump sneakers or a $100 Trump bible or a $100,000 Trump watch or spend 50% more at a Trump hotel. They'll fall for each and every one of his grifts and not see it yet complain about how a Harris presidency will ruin them because she'll want to raise their taxes.
So if you are actually comparing apples to apples, it's more like 35 appearances for Trump and 30 for Harris during the same time period, with the additional ~25 for Trump happening before Harris was the nominee or before the DNC was held. That's pretty damn close to even.
People keep throwing around this chart of Trump vs Harris media appearances since they were chosen as their party's nominee.
Two problems with that.
1) Trump was nominated almost a month earlier than Harris
2) Trump was the presumptive nominee long before Harris replaced Biden
Additionally, 5-10 more appearances happened between the nomination and the DNC itself - and if you consider the DNC the beginning of the nominees' post-nomination media tours, it's even closer. Trump started about a week after the RNC, Harris started about a week after the DNC.
For someone who doesn't know anything about Project 2025 and isn't associated with it at all, Trump is parroting its bullet points pretty consistently.
He might not know the specifics of what's in the manifesto but it's definitely just a rewrite of his plans.
Because honestly, by your design, anyone who voted in the primary should either vote for the candidate they originally voted for or not vote.
So you should kiss the Haley, Ramaswamy, DeSantis, etc. voters goodbye if that's the case. They shouldn't vote for Trump.
Hey Republicans...
If RFK drops out and endorses Trump, wouldn't that be a bait and switch?
Lots of people voted in the primary for him, and if he drops out and endorses Trump, what are his supporters supposed to do? If he's still on the ballot, should they still vote for him?
Or would it be ok in your eyes to have them switch their votes from RFK to Trump even though Trump isn't the candidate they primaried for?
Because if you say RFK voters aren't being duped by needing to support another candidate in November, you have no argument against Harris.
Typical that the R's are obsessed with Biden allegedly taking money from foreign sources while in office, but completely ignores or forgives Clarence Thomas and the Trump family for doing the exact same thing, the Trumps to an insane degree, and wouldn't do anything about them.
Let him dig himself the biggest hole he can, because nobody will do it better than he can do it himself. Let him be the callous, self-centered, self-serving, narcissistic racist homophobic transphobic asshole he really is. Let him ruin himself forever. He'll bring his own defeat.
Sure. Let Trump be Trump. Let everyone see just how demented and scattered he has become. He's living in 2016 fresh off the high of beating "Crooked Hillary" and also 3 weeks ago when Biden was still running and also today trying to find something to stick to Harris.
Y'all, the only party that's going to reduce population is the MAGA party, by reducing availability of healthcare and access to life-saving medical procedures they'll increase maternal, infant, disabled and elderly mortality to even higher levels than they are now.
The news channels airing Trump's "press conference" (aka unhinged rambling rant) could've easily fact checked all of his statements by running a banner repeatedly saying "This is a lie."
Because it was all lies. It always is.
Fuck AIPAC
Fuck Netanyahu and his war-mongering cronies
Fuck anyone who supports Palestinian genocide
If they were truly following Jewish beliefs, they would make peace with their neighbors, not slaughter them and blame them for the situation that Israel itself has propagated.
