Disagree they want to have a higher status than real women. They're the real women, not those filthy bleeders.
That's true insomuch as they don't JUST want to be women. They want to be beautiful women, to be attractive to every man and/woman in every circumstance, and above any sort of criticism since to them that's how successful women are.
 
The Dems inability to process reality doesn't make Trump hard to predict. He has a huge ego and is a counter puncher, as well as being an incredibly shrewd business man and pr savy. 90%+ of the time you should know what he is and isn't going to do.
“Should” indeed. I was skeptical of The Don in 2015 because I assumed that the Dems would be smart and “negotiate” with him, letting him feel great about helping Americans and ditching his base for asspats from the NYT and Entertainment Tonight; meanwhile getting a bunch of shit in their laundry list through. Play to his vanity.

But no, turns out all of Congress is infected with stupid low-level demons who immediately started screeching and flinging their own shit at him, leaving him with no allies but those cons who brung him, so he just tried to do what they wanted so he could be loved by some part of the public. A pleasant surprise, and now I think he’s a true believer.

And his base has had a little taste of winning, which the GOP denied them for decades, and it turns out… they like it quite a bit. Much more than the shit banquet currently on offer.

I think the hate for Trump come from him being an outsider. I never realized how incestuous every branch of the goverment is. Like Psaki knowing and working with Biden years ago before becoming the Press Secratary or Ted Cruz, Amy Barret, Kavanaugh all being on the legal team for Bush in 2000 fighting agaisnt Gore. Like.. it's all payoffs all the way down and Trump broke that system. They can't forgive him for that and when they call him an existential threat to democracy they are right. They define democracy as rule by them on both sides and he is a direct threat to that.

That, and Obama was supposed to be the final defeat of the rural white Bitter Clingers, and the beginning of a Progressive Thousand Year Reich. Trump denying Hillary her coronation fucked that plan.

It also showed the Uniparty that they are not invincible, to their horror.

Exactly! Imagine if they had treated him like a Make-A-Wish kid and just dangled some symbolic wins in front of him that would not make his base happy and wouldn’t really damage the Uniparty too much. Tell him how amazing he is, fete him on the talk shows, but leave him with no real accomplishments.

Honestly that’s what I would have done. It would have demoralized what today is known as “MAGA” so they don’t even have a chance to coalesce.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The issue is that for women like that, their personality strengthens their ugliness towards the world.

I usually think the people who say "wow that's creepy, that's cult shit" are over-reacting because they're on the other side of the aisle from whatever they're watching, but let me be the first to say: wow that's creepy, that's cult shit.
 
Nice clickbait video preview from Fox.


Trump dominates 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw poll at Turning Point USA summit (Archive)

EXCLUSIVE: Tampa, Fla.– Former President Donald Trump dominated the 2024 GOP presidential nomination straw poll at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit Sunday, Fox News has learned.

TPUSA polled conference attendees—youth activists from around the country—who they would vote for in 2024 if Trump decided to launch another White House run. The straw poll was sponsored by Turning Point Action, the affiliated 501(c)(4) of TPUSA.

78.7% attendees said they would vote for Trump.

19% said they would vote for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, 1% said they’d vote for South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, 0.5% said they’d vote for former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; 0.3% said they would vote for Sen. Ted Cruz, 0.3% said they’d vote for former Amb. Nikki Haley; and 0.3% said they’d vote for former Vice President Mike Pence.

Trump spoke at the conference Saturday night, hinting at a 2024 run. His speech was the keynote on the second day of the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. Trump's speech followed one Friday night by DeSantis, who's considered along with Trump one of the foremost potential GOP 2024 contenders.

Teasing his own possible 2024 run, Trump said Saturday that he won the 2016 election, falsely claimed he won the 2020 election, and said, "now we may just have to do it again."

"If I stayed home, if I announced that I was not going to run for office, the persecution of Donald Trump would immediately stop," Trump also said later in the speech. "But that's what they want me to do. And you know what? There's no chance I do that."

Trump closed his speech saying that with President Biden's presidency, his reelection slogan of "keep America great," is now outdated. But, Trump said, "we will make America great again."

30.3% of attendees said California Gov. Gavin Newsom would be the most difficult for a Republican to beat; 13.6% said former First Lady Michelle Obama; 10.5% said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; 10.3% said Sen. Bernie Sanders; 7.9% said Vice President Kamala Harris; 5.9% said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Just 4.4% of attendees said President Biden would be the most difficult for a Republican candidate to beat in 2024.

Attendees were also polled on whether they approved or disapproved of the Republican establishment in Washington D.C.— with 92.7% saying they disapprove and 7.3% saying they approve.

73.8% of conference attendees said they are not confident that the Republican Party can communicate with younger voters, while 26.2% said they are.

Meanwhile, attendees were also polled on whether they thought "building a southern border wall" or "sending $56 billion to Ukraine" was more important.

98% of attendees said building a wall to secure the U.S. southern border is "more important."

Conservative students weigh Trump and DeSantis as possible 2024 GOP nominees (Archive)

Tampa, Fla. – Former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are two of the top potential GOP presidential contenders for 2024, and several attendees at a Turning Point USA conference this weekend revealed which candidate they prefer.

Fox News Digital interviewed several activists at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, asking who they want to see as the next Republican presidential nominee. Trump and DeSantis were the most commonly mentioned names, with Trump holding an advantage among the small sample of young activists.

"Donald Trump, of course, the man himself. He created the MAGA movement, and he deserves to be our leader," Nathan Koenig of Louisiana said. "He really shook up the swamp and no one else in the Republican Party can do that the way he did."

"I love DeSantis, but Trump is a little bit more, you know, going to push it," Mikayla Locker of Texas said. "Not that DeSantis won't. But I think that he needs to come in and fix the mess that's been made."

But a few activists were not fully on board with Trump in 2024. Christian Veiga of California said, "I go back and forth between Trump and DeSantis." Ella Reed of Tennessee said she wants Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., to run, because he "brings a new voice and a new kind of vibe to the new energy that we're seeing in the conservative movement."

Alora Peters of Florida, meanwhile, said she wants DeSantis to run for president because she likes his policies on COVID-19 and his emphasis on families. "That's something I'm passionate about," she said.

But most who spoke to Fox News Digital said they want Trump.

"I think we've had enough time without Trump to realize that we do really miss him," Erica Rodriguez of New Mexico said. "I think it's time that we let him go back and kind of clean up the mess we got ourselves into."

"I would honestly like to see Donald Trump, but I feel like it could be hard since I know he's seen as very problematic in America," Jayde Morrissette of Minnesota said. "But I do think he can save America and help fix a lot of the issues that are going on right now."

Trump and DeSantis are not the only two Republicans posturing for a possible 2024 run. Former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan are among the other possible contenders.

But Trump's decision looms large over the rest – and it could come soon. Asked by Fox News Digital Saturday if his father could announce he's running for reelection before the midterms, Donald Trump Jr., did not take that off the table.
