    “Surely a political press corps that spent months arguing that President Biden’s age rendered him mentally unfit, wouldn’t look the other way when the Republican candidate, the oldest person to run for president in American history, is not only old but decompensating before our very eyes,” she continued. “The difference of course is that Biden is aging while Donald is dementing.”

      Another big difference, Biden surrounds himself with competent people who are there to do a job. Trump surrounds himself with yesmen there to pilfer what they can and increase their status in the cult.

      The political press corps understands that Trump coverage generates great ad revenue, so they are willing to compromise their principles on this matter.

    You know how his rallies are mostly empty. It would be wild if Democrats started packing in to his rallies overwhelming the MAGA presence. And then start the heckling.

      That’s the last fucking thing I want to do. I want MAGAs to just go back into the hole the crawled out of.

        They are not going to put themselves in a hole. They will need help.

        I think they did that after WW2 instead of having a symbol carved on them, so everyone know what they stand for. I’d rather know who I’m talking to, so I can not care about their opinion.

              Well, I’m glad to see that the lemmy consensus is that maga supporters are not armed, nor are they angry enough to inflict violence on people who turn up to heckle their cult leader. Good to know.

                I mean they’re a famously kind-hearted and pacifist group that respects opposing views

      Because at this point the person running doesn’t matter to them. It’s literally a vote between democracy and fascism, and it astounds me how many people are willing to throw their vote to fascism over a single issue

        They think they’ll get to be the fascists, but it’s only going to be the billionaires and many millionaires who’ll benefit.

          A quote form Occupied Paris, circa 1943.

          “It isn’t the big Hitler in Paris that makes life unbearable; it’s the million little Hitlers living in Paris.”

      Many Christian’s have their head so far up their ass they don’t stop to think about what their actually voting for. All they care about is ending abortion or stopping gay people from doing literally anything. They are essentially single issue voters.
