This is a long Twitter thread, almost 30 tweets, but it is an absolute must read. Seriously, if you read nothing else today on Twitter, read this thread. It’s great.

This truck is honor of Kamala and Joe Biden"

"I think a troll should be President of world's most powerful country" without an ounce of regret huh?
 
If you are Trump, you have to worry that Jesse Watters is warning his wife not to vote for Kamala 😏

Thank you.

Of course! Happy to do so. Don’t judge me for being technologically inept- but what’s the best way to do that besides posting them tweet by tweet? (I’m more than happy to do that, just wanted to know if there’s a more efficient way!)

The article: Want freedom? Harris is asking us to fight the 'petty tyrant'

“…
More than 20,000 people showed up for Donald Trump’s fascist rally at Madison Square Garden, the site of the last major fascist rally in 1939. But more than 75,000 people showed up for Kamala Harris’ rally last night at the Ellipse in Washington, the starting point of Trump’s attempted paramilitary takeover of the US government in 2021.

It’s a pattern in our history. Whenever the fascists come out of the shadows, anti-fascists stand ready to face them. Heather Cox Richardson wrote that, “in 1939, as about 18,000 American Nazis rallied inside Madison Square Garden, newspapers reported that a crowd of about 100,000 anti-Nazis gathered outside to protest. It took 1,700 police officers, the largest number of officers ever before detailed for a single event, to hold them back from storming the venue.”

Trump wanted a show of force with a rally in the media capital of the world, said Jonathan V Last. But then Harris turned out nearly four times as many. “This is the kind of power Trump understands,” Last said. “And I suspect that when he saw her crowd, he lost his shit.”

I don’t want to make too much of crowd sizes, but the difference between 20,000 people and 75,000 people is probably similar to the difference between the public’s perception of the election and the reality of it, which is to say: It’s probably not as close as it seems.

It looks close, because national polling averages make it seem so, and they make it seem so, because rightwing pollsters game the polling averages by manufacturing numbers favorable to rightwing politics. …”

It’s amazing that People who are educated would vote for someone who
1.) led a coup and failed
2.) wants to turn the US into an oligarchy
3.) wants to put RFK in “charge of health” including HHS and fda
all because he trolls liberals

You say this, but you voted for him. How? Why? I just can't imagine debasing myself by voting for someone I know to be a troll.
 
HY12 - though I am appreciative of his participation here in order to give the community some current Republican views on things without his default conversation mode being a belligerent asshole - is emblematic of why we keep banging our heads against the wall wondering why Trump voters don't seem to "get it."

They don't care. They know but they just don't care. The greater the double-standard, the more delicious for them it is. The more we're outraged or offended, the more succulent the issue/offense seems to be for them.

Even though we have the truth and objective reality on our side - it's like arguing with a psycho chick (or dude) or someone with Borderline Personality Disorder - if you don't have the same standards, fundamentals, or principles, you can't agree on anything and you can't resolve anything. Hell, it's difficult to even struggle to find the elusive middle ground. Then throw in the cult-of-personality and the evangelical angles, and you've got something truly pernicious.

And this is extremely difficult to combat and/or defeat/deprogram.

This is near exactly why I’ve stated numerous times that callayeahs are just too cowardly to openly support the shit they actually like about being maga. They oft claim inflation!!! Prices!!!! Economy!!!! Then blankly stare at hard data showing historically high 401ks, an economy that’s blistering the rest of the planet, and consumer confidences normalizing, after the world’s greatest economic recovery folllowing the worst pandemic since 1918.

It’s not the economy for them. It never has been.

Yep. From the uber-liberal WSJ --


Whoever wins the White House next week will take office with no shortage of challenges, but at least one huge asset: an economy that is putting its peers to shame.

With another solid performance in the third quarter, the U.S. has grown 2.7% over the past year. It is outrunning every other major developed economy, not to mention its own historical growth rate.

We're a few days away from finding out how many of those Puerto Ricans in Pennsylvania think that being called floating garbage by a campaign-vetted surrogate at a rally in New York City isn't a big story.

I'm not sure we're a few days away.

On 10/24, 50K Latinos had voted in NC. By 10/30, that number almost doubled to 91K. There were of course increases in other groups as well, but not nearly as big in % terms.

Trump literally called Democrats garbage multiple times throughout the summer and early fall, and THEN changed it to an even worse message and called them the enemies from within.

IMAGINE how much trumpers would piss and moan if Harris called maga her enemies. They would lose their shit for daaaaays.

He also called us vermin.

I've laid out in great detail in recent days my 6 or 7 main reasons I voted for Trump. My vote has been cast, I'm done rehashing the same points over and over. Now we just await the results, and I guarantee you I won't be on here freaking out if Trump loses.

I do think Trump is pretty funny sometimes. I don't think the garbage truck thing was all that funny personally. But I'd say I'm "lukewarm" to "thinks it's slightly funny" on it. But then again, I don't take politics nearly as seriously as most of you do. It's a hobby of mine but I have a different perspective on its importance than many of the TDS folks.
