I believe the scientific term is “through the looking glass.” Unless you’re a biologist, in which case I believe it’s called “gone bananas” or alternatively “batshit insane.”

JD Vance (or Jimmy David Hamel as he was called back then for whatever reason) claiming he's a Marine combat correspondant is like Nick Rekieta claiming he's a lawyer. It's technically true, but it gives a deliberately false impression on what the actual job is. People think the Marines are ultra-hardcore like on their commercials and are jumping out of helicopters into the thick of combat and a combat correspondant must be some badass who sees combat. Reality is JD Vance was the dude sitting in an air conditioned office typing up press releases (mostly not in Iraq, either). He probably was only there since he's a Manchurian candidate created by his Peter Thiel (likely his gay lover)--gotta give him that "veteran Marine" backstory those Appalachian rubes love!

You mean the same polls which predicted 20+ seat Republican majority in the House, 2-3 seat Republican majority in the Senate, and had Oregon, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin all electing Republican governors in 2022?

It's almost like their polling has gotten better and by convincing you the races are close, you won't vote because you think it's in the bag.

Do I need to post it again?
Part of Vance's DD-214:

He was a military reporter who knows how to shoot basically. I'm not sure where he's claimed anything else. He certainly isn't an E-8 claiming to be a retired E-9. If you translated to Army, he probably has more or better Good Boy ribbons than Walz does. Pretty weak Doompost or bait or whatever, I give it a Hospital Janitor out of 3 Hs.

to be fair i don't know what it was like in the 80s, but i personally know a lot of people under the age of 30 (myself included) that have at last a few 50s crooners in their playlist. I think it's mostly due to the fallout games but it's not uncommon for young people to be listening to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash or an assorted collection of old folk songs.

Personally, I think it's a sign that the culture is simply stabilizing into a more or less consistent state for once. The 19th and 20th centuries having so much happen on such a swift and grand scale for so long caused people to just assume that we were going to have massive changes all the time when that's not really normal and now that civilization has hit a new plateau, everyone is feeling caught off guard.

But I do think that the undecideds, who are one the key demographics for winning the race, will decide based off of policy and substance, at least to an appreciable enough degree that those things still do matter.

What policy?

Harris has released exactly ZERO policy standards. Her website is blank, her agenda unknown.

For fuck's sake even senile Biden had a policy release but here we are 4 weeks into the Harris abortion of a campaign and she's said nothing about what she intends to do when she gets elected, what her goals are or what her foreign relations plans are all the while we have not 1 but 2 fucking wars going on.

But still somehow people are swapping to Harris in huge numbers based on her policy? I call shenanigans on that shit.

The only thing buoying up the Harris campaign is the massive astroturfing by the MSM and the tech boi's. Without their fake polls, biased news and online bots Harris would still be at >1%

I keep hearing this so I wanted to check it out for myself. I jumped on Brave search and typed, "harris walz."

The first page brings back 34 results.

The Harriz Walz campaign website isn't one of those results. Just news stories about them.

Exactly I was feeling like a doomer, but the walz pick restored my confidence in Trump. I see Vance as a blunder, but Tim Walz is a much bigger blunder, so it kind of outweighs Trump's blunder. The Kamala momentum will be crushed by November.

The search engine algorithm manipulation this election is awful, to the point it renders even normal use impossible. I was trying to look up the transcript of MLK’s I have a dream speech the other day. And it was damn near impossible to find because all the top hits were about how Trump compared himself to that speech or something. Silicon Valley is clearly trying to fix things again.

Anyways, in case you or anyone else couldn’t find it:
this is their campaign website. And yes, it doesn’t have any policy or platform stuff on there. Just bios, volunteering info, and donation links.

Oh, I should have made it clearer I guess. She doesn’t have any, at least not yet (who knows, maybe never.) And I think that helps Trump bigly, because those undecideds who care about policy even a bit will be choosing between someone with policy platforms and someone without.

Though the potential counter point is that they may just fill in the blanks themselves, but I don’t see that as a viable strategy in the current world climate. If this was the 90s when things were generally alright domestically, then there wouldn’t be as pressing a need for policy answers, because they could just fill in with “keep the good times rolling.”

But when there’s all the domestic and foreign issues like right now, and you’re part of the administration that caused that, it seems to me that you have provide some concrete answers on how to fix things.

I can never understand how someone can insist that Trump isnt really rich while knowing that the man owns and operates two private jumbo jets
What causes this? are these people stupid? are they crazy? are they just disingenuous? If they are just disingenuous then how dumb do they have to be to think this is going to trick people into thinking hes not really rich?
Then the articles about how no fortune 500 CEOs want Trump to win while simultaneously saying hes the one that the evil corporations support.
I know its not a surprise that the liberal/democrat audience doesnt care about hypocrisy, and I completely understand and expect that at this point, but I still cant wrap my head around how they can operate this way.
How is it that they arent at least in contact with a single person that calls them out on this stuff? do they just isolate themselves away from anyone that pushes back?
Do they actually not hold any real political beliefs? Is politics just a social exercise for them?
At this point I can pretty much predict what their opinion on any policy or event will be (although some of the mega copes still take me by surprise), but I cant understand how they can have the opinions they do.
Its like they live in a sitcom where everything resets at the end of every episode, and each issue is a new episode.
They can completely contradict previous opinions because each argument exists in complete isolation from all other ones, even if they occur within seconds of each other.
At least in the past there was some attempt to make political lies believable, they dont even care anymore, now they will lie to you knowing that you know its a lie, and that you know they know its a lie and they just dont care.

Anything and everything is on the table to achieve their goals; there is no chance in which those people you share this country with will stomach even a single concession that could potentially get in the way of enacting the permanent liberal reality King Nigger promised them. They are so beyond the scope of closed minded and caught in a loop of justifying increasingly more callous, stupid, and hypocritical acts, because to admit anything less is to literally kill their entire ego and worldview. The very definition of demoralized and devastated into compliance.

Remember that you can pill people around you with conversations. Almost is struggling right now, most people in America collecting benefits are working poor. Remind them what the current regime is doing to them.

From X.

Venezuelan Immigrants are getting 13k+ in food stamps and $5k+ in cash benefits monthly, while retired veterans have to fight for $23 in food stamps and their disability from the VA.

I think that's obvious, but the point is just to give her an illusion of a lead so when she mysteriously gets a gorillion 2am votes the populace at large can shrug and pretend everything was on the up and up.

That's what a lot of the so called doomers are saying. In an honest election Trump would have a good chance of winning since everything about Kamala is fake and empty. I dont think anyone is giving serious consideration to the places that said Hillary would win in a landslide

But this isnt going to be a fair election, and I don't think the Republicans have done enough to stop the steal.

The thing is that Dems are already playing defense for this shit. They're claiming that it was in support of OEF therefore it was OEF. That he did more time than JD therefore his service means more. And that orders only came in after he out in his retirement, even though everyone knows when a deployment is set to come.

A Dem senator also tried denying Vance has served and had to be corrected
