Before it gets memory holed that yes, Kamala was holding herself out as Indian long before she ever realized she could use her deadbeat Jamaican daddy (who left her mama when she was 7 and her sister was 4) for political points! Here's her page from being California's AG:

Obama was a dork, he even has a thin reedy stereotypical nerd voice. I never understand why women saw him as some kind of sex symbol.

Because women were told by the media that other women see him as a sex symbol.
Women are literal cattle. Giving women the right to vote is the reason we even need to have threads like this.

I feel like project 2025 has to be a psyop paid for by the democrats. If trump wanted to implement policies that contreversial he would have been more subtle about it. project 2025 only helped galvanize democratic voters.

The Dems were going to pick some random bullshit to whine about this year, it doesn't matter what. It could have been The Wall, it could be Ban All Abortions, it could be any random 3 words picked out of a 90 minute speech. It doesn't matter, the scare-mongering is standard, they copy/paste the new talking point whenever they need.

Project 2025 was a think tank putting out a think piece, it didn't have anything to do with Trump, and he denounced it because it took away from his Agenda 47. None of the realities mattered, it's a convenient copy/paste bullet point. If that talking point goes away now that Trump forced the Heritage Foundation to drop it, they'll just copy/paste in some other big scare. My bet will be complaining he'll pardon the Jan 6th prisoners, so the new fear will be "Fascist Revolution 2025".

project 2025 was much more effective at getting dems to vote then the wall. Even if dems dont like the idea of a wall they dont care that much for it. Project 2025 was going to take away their rights so they went out to vote at a much higher rate than before.

This is exactly right, and it's something that is love it or hate it about his style, but a lot of people don't understand what he's doing at all.

When you speak off the cuff, instead of just having predetermined talking points to repeat blandly, you need something to make up the gap between how fast you can think of coherent new things to say and how fast people expect you to speak. You can take long pauses, you can um and er and hm, you can clear your throat, you can laugh. But you end up having to pick something. Usually the most "correct" thing is to take a pause and use a slow cadence, but Trump knows this would rapidly be turned into "Trump is old, look at him pausing, he's just like Biden glitching!"

It goes beyond that though, given the way repetition short circuits people's brains. Talking points never sound genuine, but by using short catchphrase versions as filler he makes them seem spontaneous and more sincere, allowing the repetition to work in a way it doesn't with rehearsed statements.

I think Trump did well against the reporter's awfully loaded questions but one thing did bug me, when he was asked about what his vision for his second Presidency was he really only talked about the boarder. The boarder is important and undoubtably part of his campaign but I REALLY wish he went into the "unity" part which is what his campaign is supposed to be about this time. Everyone has heard Trump talk about the boarder and everyone knows what his stance on it is, however some people that don't watch Trump speeches all the time may be unaware of the fact that Trump actually wants all Americans unified together, not divided, so we can finally have a chance at making progress in our country, which has been stunted for over 20 years and attempt to bring about a roaring 20s 2.0, complete with economic growth, infrastructure growth, and technology growth like never seen before. I think if he had laid his goals out more like that it could have reached the particular audience that was present more than just talking about the boarder for the one millionth time. It's like Kamala constantly talking about abortion and nothing else.
