I honestly wish it was as hands down as that. What he said appeals to exactly the kind of people it was directed at…and there are so SO many of those people out there. Majority? I don’t know; and that in itself is a problem…it should be absolutely obvious that a significant majority of people aren’t aligned with him. But its not.
I’ll betcha this ends up working to his advantage somehow.
fucking depressed myself with my own comment. I’m going to go take an Ace Ventura style shower
Lol, elections don’t get decided by straight ticket states, they get decided by a handful of states (with occasional exceptions) that sit on the fence, and shit like calling yourself a dictator is exactly the sort of nudge that’ll put em off.
Trump might be appealing to the states that would have voted for him anyway, but there’s no actual gains there to be had… Ya know?
Yes, and the strategy is basically: the courts/activists/army didn’t let me do what I needed to do, so I’ll have to extend my dictatorship until it’s sorted. Then it never gets sorted.
Did he actually say that shit? Please tell me he said that shit… He’s hosed next year if he said that.
He did, and his poll numbers didn’t drop.
Almost like that’s what his supporters wanted anyway
Nothing quite like actively advocating for the end of democracy to own the libs!
“It’S a RePuBlIc!”
With glorious applause at that. Cue Padme!
Polls are crap anyway… Lol

You could say this about so much of what he has said and done, and it hasn’t “put em off”, at least not enough
It’s not just about if her wins, it’s about what those states might try to pull if they lose.
I mean no offense but, how old are you? I’m trying to figure out how one could still have that much faith in the US voting population.
Search your feelings, you know it to be true!
