I don’t want to link the same clip over and over but Bernie getting the whole Fox News Town Hall crowd to agree with him should have been the eye opener for the whole fucking party, not just mayor Pete.

It’s sad that the best response to Trump’s bizarre accusation of “she wants to give everyone health care” would be “fuck yeah I do!” but she for some reason thinks it will scare off swing voters and leans into the classic Dem instinct of tucking to the center.
Depends, what are their policies?
His followers don’t care. They probably didn’t even watch the debate anyway, and even if they did it’s been abundantly clear for years now that millions of Americans - for some inexplicable reason - will choose to believe Trump’s words over the evidence of facts, their own memories and even their own direct sensory input.
Besides the fact that macro- and microeconomics are vastly different, his multiple bankruptcies should give you ample evidence that economy is the last thing to trust him on. It’s amazing how little facts matter, and how many people take him at his word. I never realised ActLikeYouBelong would work on this scale, but apparently just claiming you’re a genius billionaire is enough for millions of people.
I know you’re trying to help Hillary but for everyone’s sake I think maybe just laying low until November is the play here.
It’s just on the other side of the current population’s attention span and short-term memory.
I’m not even sure this is them being actually dumb, or if it’s the case that they realised “Haitian” is just the perfect socially passable shorthand for “non-white” they’ve been looking for.
Is there a good article out there with highlights of the interview? I feel like this would merit its own post, it’s an amazing watch and very important to see for those still considering Stein a legitimate option.
In addition to all the legal issues already brought up, there is also the fact that Trump is straight up lying about this - as usual of course. He is one of the most extreme narcissists known to the history of man. Being and/or running for president is giving him an absolutely limitless faucet of attention to wrap his fat lips around and suckle like the runt who finally managed to kick the rest of the piglets out of the litter. He is helplessly addicted to it. It’s like heroin to him.
Yes. I think some kind of fuckery like mentioned in this post leading to Trump being president again is the most likely outcome of this election, as horrifying as that sentence is to type and ponder.
It’s unbelievable that in the supposed leading democracy of the world this shit is so prevalent that what should be spoken of with outrage is reduced to a casual reminder.
Those are all factors, and brainwashing is also a problem. But beyond that, Trumpism is to a certain extent the logical conclusion of the American culture. He represents a perverted yet unabashed and clear representation of the American Dream - at least the illusion of Trump does.
The me-first thinking, the worship of capitalism, the shameless revelry in gaudy displays of tasteless wealth - it’s all there. It’s completely unsurprising to me that someone like him would appeal to a lot of Americans. There are a lot of people who idolise and wish they themselves could be like the image he projects.
Compounded, I’m sure, by an often full diaper. Must be quite the bouquet.
Which is an extremely important distinction. “I’m sorry you were offended” is not a true apology, and everyone should be aware of this whether regarding Trump or other bullies you may encounter in your life.
Reminder that he is a malignant narcissist, and is biologically incapable of accepting blame, responsibility or personal faults. As per the Narcissist’s Prayer:
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
I think you’re giving Trump too much credit. This comment sums it up succinctly, but I sincerely believe Trump is not capable of thinking about the future. He only brought up the cats and dogs because he thought it was his best anti-immigrant fear-mongering line available at the time.
I won the debate, but the only reason I lost was she cheated!
Whatever you do, please make sure there is a photojournalist in the room when Trump is told Texas is blue.
