    Lmao does anyone else remember the shooting? Everyone seemed so convinced his win was in the bag after that “iconic” photo. Now it’s a big whatever.

      Joe leaving the race effectively wiped out anything from that event. Trump for once is the victim of the mass adhd that is our current media and cultural environment. I myself have forgotten several times that he was even shot at, and he’s not good at keeping it front and center in anyone’s mind either.

    Trump has also fielded calls from donors who are upset about his running mate, JD Vance, and the Ohio senator’s previous comments including referring to Harris as a ‘childless cat lady.”

    Trump dismissed calls for Vance to be replaced on the ticket, but he also asked advisers if they were aware of the comments before Vance was selected.

    At the Hamptons dinner, Trump also downplayed the Democrats’ strategy of painting the GOP as “weird.”

    “Not about me. They’re saying that about JD,” Trump said, according to the Times.

    Oof. Incredible lack of self-awareness while also throwing your running mate under the bus lol

      Trump whipped a violent mob into a frenzy ready to actually lynch his last running mate. JD just needs to look at Pence to see what his own future holds.

        If they win, they are going to 25th Ammendment Trump. Then it will be Peter Thiels puppet in charge.

        Make no mistake about it.

          It would be funny to see Donald stroke out with rage from that. But it would be even funnier to see him stroke out with rage if he is defeated by a black woman. Also it wouldn’t be a fascist dictatorship, so I’d greatly prefer the latter.

        If by “genuinely thinks” you mean “is in denial”, sure. It’s not so much a matter of believing it or not, he just says what he wants to be true, simple as.

    I live in a blue state. Almost all of the kids I see nowadays are mixed race. This sort of shit is almost over. As soon as the boomers die out, there won’t be a majority white voter.

      In some far future utopia we will’ve all interbred and evolved to a nice caramel/olive skin and our descendents will imagine us as cavemen. If we mange to make it that long.

        I gotta say this is actually something I’m disappointed by.

        Not because I want white people to survive forever or think any race is better than the other but because I like the idea of living in a world with other races. Like a fantasy setting with different types of elves or whatnot.

        I like the diversity and would love to see just how different each race could become while still being the same species.

          I mean, that has already happened in our history. The result is that the lion’s share of humans are 1-4% Neanderthal. Not to mention ancestry from Denisovans and possibly others.

          The end result of a DnD world is a bunch of humans with slightly pointy ears and big teeth.

    It’s a dog whistle. He just wants to constantly remind his racist cult that she’s black, so they won’t focus on him being senile, belligerent, and stupid.

      Racial Colorblindness is still racism. Kamala Harris, like anyone mixed race or nonwhite, has had a measurably different experience living in America than her white peers.

      Fixating on her race the way Trump and Republicans are doing is absolutely racist.

      But hand waving her racial identity away like it is irrelevant is also quite a racist thing to do.

          When you say something like “I don’t see color” or “I don’t see race”, you’re actively dismissing an immutable part of a person’s identity, which is insulting. You can acknowledge and appreciate someone’s race without treating them differently because of it.

            No that’s ridiculous. Not seeing something is in No Way actively doing anything. It is by definition passive.
