    Keep pushing him until he starts saying slurs out loud, hopefully during a debate or something like that. That’d be hilarious

        MAGA types like the Republicans because of their bigotry. This won’t deter anyone, except perhaps a few waverers. But how many are wavering after all these years of seeing exactly what Trump is about?

          But how many are wavering after all these years of seeing exactly what Trump is about?

          You know, I used to ask myself that too. Until the 2020 election, where Trump got more votes than any candidate in history save one- the man who beat him. After blowing up the economy and killing Americans with COVID and tanking our international standing, more Americans decided to vote for him than the first time.

          Never underestimate the gobsmacking stupidity of American voters. Apparently some voters are like cicadas: they only emerge once every four years to vote, and have no recollection of what’s happened since the last election, so they can be temporarily persuaded to support either candidate. Some of those people will think that Trump’s bigotry is too far.

          There’s people like my moms who generally think they align with republicans because they think democrats will make them poor to make the poor rich. But they won’t vote republican because of homophobia. Seemed like Trump was trying to distance himself from homophobia for a little bit, so stuff like this will continue to keep votes away. I don’t think they’d vote for Trump regardless, but if they noticed the attempt at pandering followed by overt homophobia, it could continue keeping people rightfully distrustful of republicans for decades.

      It wouldn’t stop anyone from voting for him who have already decided.

      It actually might make a segment of the population like him more.

    While I love this, I anticipate September and October will be completely different. I hope Harris and Walz are prepared for a Trump campaign that isn’t batshit crazy.

      a Trump campaign that isn’t batshit crazy.

      I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a thing, but I take your greater point. Shit slides off trump like a freshly polished waterslide. Harris and Walz need to be ready for a ceaseless torrent of hate speech, underhanded tactics, bad faith arguments, and attempted treason.

      I’m pretty sure Trump has just given up. He’s already said he would leave the country, but I’m 100% positive he’s now preparing to flee from prosecution.

        He’s given up campaigning because he has people telling him it won’t matter because they plan on installing him “other ways”. He thinks he doesn’t have to win.

        This is kind of my point. I think this is the mentality that breaks people when Trump does a 180 in September. There is way too much time left in this campaign to think he’s given up.

        Yes. Honestly, all Trump has to do is stop whining about Kamala and Walz and start talking about immigration and the economy and this entire race would feel WAY different.

        I am willing to bet after the DNC and closer to the debate, Trump will start to realize his current tactics are going to lose him the election. And he will start listening to his advisors again.

        We’re honestly lucky that the GOP landed on Trump as their dictator wannabe.

        If it was someone with actual intelligence and political knowledge, we’d be utterly fucked.

          I feel like you find less intelligence in the right wing because their positions are stupid.

      Even the 2016 campaign was batshit crazy.

      But at the time, that actually worked. In large part because that’s just how bad the dems fucked up- first in picking Clinton then in her mismanaged campaign.

      It feels like maybe they learned some lessons- an important one being that the republicans aren’t playing by rules anymore, and following them is just gonna set you up for failure.

        When I think Trump being “not batshit crazy” I think of the first debate against Biden. Sure every word he spoke was a lie, but he came across as calm and collected. People responded well to that version of Trump.

    Let’s hope this stretches until the election, otherwise the republicans might be able to find a better candidate
