Trump fatigue is real.
The only news I want to hear about him is how much he lost by and how long his prison sentence will be.
I’m generally a pessimist, but I really honestly think he’s going to win even without the ratfuck plans they have for the swing states…
Polls always show him well under what his actual support is and we’re close enough that it should put him in a decent lead…
I do still expect a state like Georgia to “find irregularities” on election night that will trigger the hand counting which will drag out long enough for them to have SCOTUS step in and tell them to stop counting again regardless…
:(
There’s always a chance and he will be ratfucking everything he can, but this is a very different base than in 2016. The crowds aren’t there. My family hasn’t been annoying, as much. I heard one say to his friend (at a family thing) “I just try not to think about it and only focus on what I can…blah…family.” he was talking about some bs repub lie of the day to his friend. I know it’s not a poll, but a lack of excitement from trumpers is a positive sign.
Still go vote. It’s not a 100% thing and Trump will be flinging more lies around.
But im guessing your family member will still vote for him. It doesn’t matter how enthusiastically he casts the ballot, a votes a vote
Pessimists only get happy surprises.
I recently told my wife that I’ve started partially avoiding politics because I couldn’t take the hits anymore. She responded (paraphrasing) “you should, it’s been mostly good news!”
I responded by referencing the “don’t do that, don’t give me hope” meme.
If the worst happens, I won’t be surprised. If the alternative does, I will be delighted and surprised.
edit: Sorry, I’m exhausted for unrelated reasons and that was probably rambling. You can probably safely ignore every part of this post after the first sentence. Hopefully that one adds some conversational or morale value.
If scotus crowns him king. I hope they’re ready for shit to burn. Themselves first.
Personally, it’s not fatigue, but I’m glad if some conservatives are feeling that way. I can barely stand to see that disgusting hateful man, or hear his dishonest, mocking words. He disrespects everyone who doesn’t help him in some way, acts on impulse, and takes the most immoral side of any issue… I don’t know how anyone could support him.
I don’t even want him in jail anymore if it means having to deal with him through the trials. I’m utterly done with him.
Just cut a plea deal giving him house arrest with no visitors or internet and let him live in his golden palace until he dies on the toilet.
I want this crap grifter to disappear forever ASAP and I’m a European…
My man what a enormous piece of shit fr.
I have family who are lifelong Republicans but soured on Trump. Because, for all of their faults and their media bubbles, willing to endure Trump’s stupidity in exchange for the idea that he was just a tool for the GOP, they do still believe in democracy, and Jan 6 was too blatant for even their favorite news sources to spin positively.
I wish I had those. My family is in Connecticut, of all places, and there are still Trump supporters among them, somehow.
Same! I remember back in high school some of my classmates had confederate flags on their trucks and hats and shit.
Like… Bruh, we’re in Connecticut, we were on the Union’s side, and your “farm” is half an acre outside of Middletown, relax.
I wish I knew Republicans like that. All the ones I know literally would never change their mind about him no matter what. And this sadly includes my own family.
The ones I know who eventually changed their were never all-in on him, they were the “He’s our Cyrus” types who recognized he was a shitty human being and, more important to them, a pathetic excuse of a con man only wearing a Christian’s clothing, but thought the GOP could effectively use him for long-standing policy goals. They were willing to buy into “The border in crisis!”, “LAGGING DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST ECONOMY”, and “Transgender litterboxes in public schools”, but “Time to overthrow democracy” was too much for them. For their faults and delusions, they genuinely buy into the US as a bastion of freedom and democracy, and anti-democratic moves evoke genuine revulsion from them.
It’s small, and if they weren’t family, it wouldn’t be enough for me to keep enduring such nonsense - but as they are family, I’m just thankful that they aren’t outright fascists, just rubes. Though, as long as the fascists hide the exact level of fascism they’re going for, the practical effect is the same. Trump’s incompetence is, in a strange way, a saving grace here.
That all makes sense. I wish my family wasn’t so garbagey about trump. I lost a ton of respect for them because they literally can’t be bothered to care about anything besides abortion being evil. When confronted with Jan 6, trump is magically the only person on earth for them who isn’t guilty by association, because clearly the traitors did this very much against Trump’s wishes 🤮
make sure to remind him that Republican leadership has done nothing to stop him, and has facilitated his shitty policy changes every step of the way. just in case he thinks Trump is the only problem and plans on going back once he’s gone
And every Republican who wouldn’t kiss the ring is no longer an elected official.
