It's like MAGA has come to the conclusion that if you say a whole bunch of racist stuff at one event, most of it gets lost because there is too much to adequately cover.
However, it does appear that the slurs against Latinos is having an impact.

You're a reasonable person who looks at data as the soundest basis for collective decisions. Your empathy forces you to care if the US sets up thought crimes courts, concentrates brown and ideological undesirables in fetid torture camps, polices streets with military personnel, poisons water and air for corporate greed, etc. etc. etc. You also identified as one of these people, and that can be a hell of a mind fuck to realize what you unknowingly supported.

I am not surprised by any of this. I suppose that could simply be the misanthrope's version of the blind squirrel finds a nut. It could also be because the GOP showed its willingness to accept ALL of this shit decades ago. Whether followers of McCarthy, Wallace, Gingrich, Reagan, Helms, Cotton, ttump, MTG, etc. this shit, and these people, have always been the magma chamber beneath the party's exterior. Unfortunately for us all (and I mean all, b/c the shit coming down the line will only discriminate for the very, very few percent), the combo of the internet, a black president, and a notoriously vengeful con artist have added the extra bars needed for the chamber to explode.

Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) : "[Democrats are] more offended at a comedian making a bad joke about Puerto Rico than with Walz's record on immigration policy as Minnesota governor."

They NEVER mention Trump; just the (so-called) comedian.

"Slam"; "Rare Break" :ROFLMAO:

Because the average person isn't very bright.

Explaining COVID created supply chain issues just goes right over the average voter's head and therefore seems like excuse making.

Average voter has an understanding of “supply chain” similar to my five year old self’s articulation of insurance. Sure, if you broke it down to simple analogies, kindergarten me “got it”, and five minutes later it again became an amorphous “something adults talk about”.

I wonder if this means they will try to reject certification of enough states to force it to the house on a state-by-state basis?

Or maybe state legislatures will override the popular vote in their states? I believe this would require a constitutional challenge to the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act.

Trump is definitely dumb enough to talk about this before the election even happens. He does that all of the time even though that delegitimizes his claims.

When you consider that some of the Trump Campaign's biggest and most influential backers (Musk, Thiel, etc) are extremely wealthy people who basically want to be Gilded Age-era monopolists, it makes perfect sense.

They have like 90%+ of wealth but want it all. Pretty simple what the GOP and their RNC are about. How much does the GOP love its supporters: "The United States is still the only country in the developed world without a system of universal healthcare". Given, our cousin to the north, Canada, still doesn't have full coverage...medications. That's what I read.

I don't usually check Fox News for anything, but after that disastrous rally I did check their website out of curiosity last night and they were proudly promoting the NYC rally all over their page, talking about all of the celebrities who appeared (like Dr. Phil, lol) and how they hit Kamala hard and so on.

I checked Fox's website again this afternoon and they have dropped nearly all mention of the rally. I think that is likely a good indicator of how well the rally has gone over. Instead they're running stories on polls and Harris supporters yelling at babies (!) and AOC criticizing Harris for having someone on stage that she doesn't like. Not even much effort to defend what was said at the rally.

And that would require a constitutional challenge to the following language from the constitution:

"Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations"
