US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

Dump her

I can fix her.

 

[Absolutego]

Considering Arizona almost caught on fire last time and Trump is almost certain to get more votes this time than last time, I don't see how Trump loses Arizona. It just doesn't make sense. Here's the current 'consensus' map:

Counterpoint: Arizona is the swing state that has had next to zero effort from local parties to reform the voting process since 2020, and the state is effectively ruled through Maricopa county and Hobbs abusing her veto to stymie the local Republicans.
I would absolutely not count on them swinging Red, especially after 10+ million illegals swarmed the border in the last 4 years and AZ is probably target #1 (ahead of California) in terms of them trying to normalize illegals voting.
Watch for Tucson reporting a higher vote count than Maricopa. That's your tell that the fix is in for the state.

Incidentally all three of them are massive whores.

It hasn't been a full week yet. Some of those polls pre date Joe dropping out and Kamala becoming the clear nominee. 3 of the 4 closest polls took place after she became the nominee. Give it a couple weeks before you declare she's already peaking.

I understand your trepidation, but it was already a reasonable assumption that she would be at a peak now, given the shake-up and a possible second peak during the Democratic convention, given the historical president. Also, multiple pollsters have confirmed that she has not performed much better now than how she was doing as a theoretical option, so the older polling is by no means useless. I suggest you look into Rich Baris's coverage of the matter.

She's also not a new candidate. She's the Vice-president. She had basically zero favorable moments as VP. The only other possible peak point is when the DNC happens. I just don't see this lady having a good moment where she's going to get momentum in the polls. She's a terrible speaker.

The complete thread:

I think I've had discussions w/enough Boomer-tier Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective. It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on 1/6, and probably even Trump himself. 1/x

Most believe some or all of the theories involving midnight ballots, voting machines, etc, but what you find when you talk to them is that, while they'll defend those positions w/info they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, they're not particularly attached to them. 2/x

Here are the facts - actual, confirmed facts - that shape their perspective: 1) The FBI/etc spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign. We now know that all involved knew it was fake from Day 1 (see: Brennan's July 2016 memo, etc). 3/x

These are Tea Party people. The types who give their kids a pocket Constitution for their birthday and have Founding Fathers memes in their bios. The intel community spying on a presidential campaign using fake evidence (incl forged documents) is a big deal to them. 4/x

Everyone involved lied about their involvement as long as they could. We only learned the DNC paid for the manufactured evidence because of a court order. Comey denied on TV knowing the DNC paid for it, when we have emails from a year earlier proving that he knew. 5/x

This was true with everyone, from CIA Dir Brennan & Adam Schiff - who were on TV saying they'd seen clear evidence of collusion w/Russia, while admitting under oath behind closed doors that they hadn't - all the way down the line. In the end we learned that it was ALL fake. 6/x

At first, many Trump ppl were worried there must be some collusion, because every media & intel agency wouldn't make it up out of nothing. When it was clear that they had made it up, people expected a reckoning, and shed many illusions about their gov't when it didn't happen. 7/x

We know as fact: a) The Steele dossier was the sole evidence used to justify spying on the Trump campaign, b) The FBI knew the Steele dossier was a DNC op, c) Steele's source told the FBI the info was unserious, d) they did not inform the court of any of this and kept spying. 8/x

Trump supporters know the collusion case front and back. They went from worrying the collusion must be real, to suspecting it might be fake, to realizing it was a scam, then watched as every institution - agencies, the press, Congress, academia - gaslit them for another year. 9/x

Worse, collusion was used to scare people away from working in the administration. They knew their entire lives would be investigated. Many quit because they were being bankrupted by legal fees. The DoJ, press, & gov't destroyed lives and actively subverted an elected admin. 10/x

This is where people whose political identity was largely defined by a naive belief in what they learned in Civics class began to see the outline of a Regime that crossed all institutional boundaries. Because it had stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper. 11/x

GOP propaganda still has many of them thinking in terms of partisan binaries, but A LOT of Trump supporters see that the Regime is not partisan. They all know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was a Tulsi Gabbard vs Jeb Bush election. 12/x

It's hard to describe to people on the left (who are used to thinking of gov't as a conspiracy... Watergate, COINTELPRO, WMD, etc) how shocking & disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the Army, and hate ppl who don't stand for the Anthem. 13/x

They could have managed the shock if it only involved the government. But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them. They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or gov't official, because they feel most betrayed by them. 14/x

The idea that the press is driven by ratings/sensationalism became untenable. If that were true, they'd be all over the Epstein story. The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the Regime they now see in outline. Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period. 15/x

This is profoundly disorienting. Many of them don't know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, etc would lie to them if there was. They have every reason to believe that, and it's probably true. 16/x

They watched the press behave like animals for four years. Tens of millions of people will always see Kavanaugh as a gang rapist, based on nothing, because of CNN. And CNN seems proud of that. They led a lynch mob against a high school kid. They cheered on a summer of riots. 17/x

They always claimed the media had liberal bias, fine, whatever. They still thought the press would admit truth if they were cornered. Now they don't. It's a different thing to watch them invent stories whole cloth in order to destroy regular lives and spark mass violence. 18/x

Time Mag told us that during the 2020 riots, there were weekly conference calls involving, among others, leaders of the protests, the local officials who refused to stop them, and media people who framed them for political effect. In Ukraine we call that a color revolution. 19/x

Throughout the summer, Democrat governors took advantage of COVID to change voting procedures. It wasn't just the mail-ins (they lowered signature matching standards, etc). After the collusion scam, the fake impeachment, Trump ppl expected shenanigans by now. 20/x

Re: "fake impeachment", we now know that Trump's request for Ukraine to cooperate w/the DOJ regarding Biden's $ activities in Ukraine was in support of an active investigation being pursued by the FBI and Ukraine AG at the time, and so a completely legitimate request. 21/x

Then you get the Hunter laptop scandal. Big Tech ran a full-on censorship campaign against a major newspaper to protect a political candidate. Period. Everyone knows it, all of the Tech companies now admit it was a "mistake" - but, ya know, the election's over, so who cares? 22/x

Goes w/o saying, but: If the NY Times had Don Jr's laptop, full of pics of him smoking crack and engaging in group sex, lots of lurid family drama, emails describing direct corruption and backed up by the CEO of the company they were using, the NYT wouldn't have been banned. 23/x

Think back: Stories about Trump being pissed on by Russian prostitutes and blackmailed by Putin were promoted as fact, and the only evidence was a document paid for by his opposition and disavowed by its source. The NY Post was banned for reporting on true information. 24/x

The reaction of Trump ppl to all this was not, "no fair!" That's how they felt about Romney's "binders of women" in 2012. This is different. Now they see, correctly, that every institution is captured by ppl who will use any means to exclude them from the political process. 25/x

And yet they showed up in record numbers to vote. He got 13m more votes than in 2016, 10m more than Clinton got! As election night dragged on, they allowed themselves some hope. But when the four critical swing states (and only those states) went dark at midnight, they knew. 26/x

Over the ensuing weeks, they got shuffled around by grifters and media scam artists selling them conspiracy theories. They latched onto one, then another increasingly absurd theory as they tried to put a concrete name on something very real. 27/x

Media & Tech did everything to make things worse. Everything about the election was strange - the changes to procedure, unprecedented mail-in voting, the delays, etc - but rather than admit that and make everything transparent, they banned discussion of it (even in DMs!). 28/x

Everyone knows that, just as Don Jr's laptop would've been the story of the century, if everything about the election dispute was the same, except the parties were reversed, suspicions about the outcome would've been Taken Very Seriously. See 2016 for proof. 29/x

Even the courts' refusal of the case gets nowhere w/them, because of how the opposition embraced mass political violence. They'll say, w/good reason: What judge will stick his neck out for Trump knowing he'll be destroyed in the media as a violent mob burns down his house? 30/x

It's a fact, according to Time Magazine, that mass riots were planned in cities across the country if Trump won. Sure, they were "protests", but they were planned by the same people as during the summer, and everyone knows what it would have meant. Judges have families, too. 31/x

Forget the ballot conspiracies. It's a fact that governors used COVID to unconstitutionally alter election procedures (the Constitution states that only legislatures can do so) to help Biden to make up for a massive enthusiasm gap by gaming the mail-in ballot system. 32/x

They knew it was unconstitutional, it's right there in plain English. But they knew the cases wouldn't see court until after the election. And what judge will toss millions of ballots because a governor broke the rules? The threat of mass riots wasn't implied, it was direct. 33/x

a) The entrenched bureaucracy & security state subverted Trump from Day 1, b) The press is part of the operation, c) Election rules were changed, d) Big Tech censors opposition, e) Political violence is legitimized & encouraged, f) Trump is banned from social media. 34/x

They were led down some rabbit holes, but they are absolutely right that their gov't is monopolized by a Regime that believes they are beneath representation, and will observe no limits to keep them getting it. Trump fans should be happy he lost; it might've kept him alive. /end

I hope Trump calls her the cheap chyna knockoff of Obama in speaking, how she speaks, holds up her finger, pauses, then turns her head to continue to say the opposite with her other hand's finger.

This is what I mean

Arizona isn't lost because Trump won't get votes there. Arizona is lost because the local Dems have set up the system so that no matter what happens Harris WILL get more votes then Trump. Ballot printer goes BRRRRR and all.

Ditto for Michigan and Virginia. Trump just will not win those states no matter what the polls say because it's not about the votes. It's all about how far the local Dems were able to undermine the process and in these 4 states the answer is a WHOLE FUCKING LOT with drop boxes, absentee ballots, no ID votes and month long vote counts.

You can act like this will be just another election, the election process itself now come down to how much cheating the Democratic pols in the state can pull off. Polling got nothing to do with it.

 

[invisibult plus+]

I don't understand why all these segments aren't considered in-kind donation to the Harris campaign.

They're so terrible that it's a net loss.

What if I told you he's found a way to win Arizona without Maricopa county?

 

[oh no its pipkun]

theres no way to change a liberal white woman's mind on political matters. she could be beaten, raped repeated and robbed and she would be ok with it because racism is bad. Just look at that dumb bitch who was raped in haiti and was ok with it.

 

[Trust Me I Know]

 

[FMW13]

It's easy (and totally understandable) to feel that way after 2020.

I honestly felt uneasy and not positive at all after I voted in 2020. I'm personally not feeling that same way at this point in time, but I still pray that we don't get a repeat.

There's a lot of things that are different about this election cycle than in 2020, though. Keep the faith, but don't get complacent.

That’s the problem sometimes with republicans. They get complacent and act like they do not need to do any work. Trump needs to get his shit together and take down Kamal tactically. Hammer her on her record and nothing else.

Michigan made at least token efforts to clean things up since 2020 (still not sure it will work out, given their governor)
The fact that Virginia is even in play hosting every three letter agency in the country is nuts

Counterpoint: It ain't COVID no mo'. These suckers and losers who run the ballot counting process won't be able to keep people out this time.

 

[FieldPiece]

Nixion's VP, Spiro Agnew, was pressured into resigning. The deep state put in Gerald Ford. Nixon was pressured to resign under threat of impeachment. Ford is the only president to not be elected.

He told NYC to drop dead. aka wouldn't bail them out of their financial woes. Sounds familiar? Pardoned Nixon. Lost to Carter. Not a whole lot to talk about.

Nixon was assassinated by the CIA in all but death. I hope Trump survives another assassination attempt just so he can be sure he is protected by God and liquidate the entirety of the CIA. Preferably by subjecting them to the same kind of shit they did with the Montreal experiments.

That's never gonna happen but if Trump wanted to he could probably just label the Mormons as a terrorist entity and it would justify killing like 90% of the glowies since the alphabet corps is absolutely swarming with retarded magic underwear enjoyers. Would be justified too since the Mormons have all but declared war on the government multiple times.

Edit: They're never gonna cure cancer, or AIDS, or the flu. Because why would they when they can bilk tons of donations and medical bills? People working in various fields need to not be paid until they deliver results. If you can't deliver results what fucking good are you? Doctors are all psychopaths.

It's conditioning. So many Republicans are in a state of learned helplessness, and it's sad to see.

That’s the problem sometimes with republicans. They get complacent and act like they do not need to do any work. Trump needs to get his shit together and take down Kamal tactically. Hammer her on her record and nothing else.

Well, from a tactical standpoint, Trump seems to be doing that so far.

Him baiting Obama last night into finally endorsing Kamala this morning was a genius move. It's very clear to me that Kamala is the candidate that the Trump campaign wants to be up against ... Most likely because they can grill her on policy the most since she's part of this disastrous current administration.

They don't want the Democrats to keep switching candidates on him, so his approach to Harris has been really good so far.

 

[Absolutego]

Counterpoint: It ain't COVID no mo'. These suckers and losers who run the ballot counting process won't be able to keep people out this time.

It's less that COVID lockdowns aren't a thing anymore (universal mail-in, easily fraudulent ballots is basically an axiom for the Democrat party nowadays) and more that all the judges in swing states who hoped putting Trump out of power would calm everyone the fuck down have now watched 4 years of Dems pouring gasoline onto the existing grease fire and are less likely to find specious reasons to deny standing to anyone suing over election fraud.

 

[Basil Julep]

Does anyone know some fun pro trump content? I have a young male relative in a swing state who doesn't like trump, but he is just going by what everyone around him says.

I sent him the hulk Hogan RNC speech which he liked.

I miss all the memes on Reddit from the first election. That subreddit was fun.
