Worried about the polls, don't be. Most people haven't begun to pay attention yet. And when they do, baby look out.

Look at history, buddy.

4 years ago Trump was doing much worse in every poll under the sun, and Biden* was doing a lot better.

Trump came MUCH closer to getting reelected than any of the polls indicated too.

He's up in every swing state now. He was never up in the polling aggregate in any of the swing states last time.


You fuckin' Democrat or Die idiots might not be paying attention yet, but everybody else is. You're also losing a sizable percentage the blacks, the Mexicans, the Jews, and the youth vote.

Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas to Trump:

Congress has approved legislation that would prevent any president from withdrawing the United States from NATO without approval from the Senate or an Act of Congress.

The measure, spearheaded by Sens. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), was included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act, which passed out of the House on Thursday and is expected to be signed by President Biden.

Even Republicans have their limits. Trump keeps talking about pulling out of NATO, and they want to nip that in the bud while they have a Democratic president willing to sign it. It's a big middle finger to the Donald.

Democracy has grown and matured by turning into a self-fulfilling prophecy: It persists because everyone in a society believes it should and will exist. If democratic culture dims, democracy’s prospects dim with it.

The United States, the first country to claim the mantle of democracy in the modern era, has long had an exceptionally strong democratic culture. Belief in democratic ideals, liberal rights, and the basics of constitutional government are so fundamental to American identity that they’ve been collectively described as the country’s “civil religion.”

Yet today, America’s vaunted democratic culture is withering before our eyes. American democracy, once seemingly secure, is now in so much trouble that 75 percent of Americans believe that “the future of American democracy is at risk in the 2024 presidential election,” according to a study by the Public Religion Research Institute and the Brookings Institution.

This withering took off during Donald Trump’s rise to power and has continued apace in his post-presidency. The more he attacks the foundations of the democratic system, the less everyone — both his supporters and his opponents — believe American democracy is both healthy and likely to endure.

Moreover, he has birthed an anti-democratic movement inside the Republican Party dedicated to advancing his vision (or something like it). These Republicans vocally and loudly argue American democracy is a sham — and that dire measures are justified in response. This faction is already influential, and will likely become more so given its especial prominence among the ranks of young conservatives.

As worrying as the prospect of a second Trump term is, the damage he and his allied movement have already done to American democratic culture is not hypothetical: It’s already here, it’s getting worse, and it will likely persist — even if Trump loses in 2024.

Put differently, Trump has already robbed us of our sense of security and faith in our democracy. The consequences of that theft are not abstract, but rather ones we’ll all have to deal with for years to come.

Trump reaches +3.2 in national polling for the first time in any general election polling aggregate today.

For comparison's sake...

The 2020 election:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/general_ele
ction_trump_vs_biden-6247.html


Trump never had a lead at any point in time on the aggregate leading up to the 2020 election. The closest he got was Biden* +4 in January of 2020.


The 2016 election:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_ele
ction_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html


For a very brief moment in July of 2016, Trump was ahead of Clinton by 0.9 and a brief moment in May of 2016 where he was up 0.2 on Clinton. The rest of the entire leadup to 2016's election Clinton was ahead of Trump in the aggregate, sometimes by as much as 10 or nearly 20 points.

'Trump isn't going to win': Analyst makes case that major 'MAGA defeat' is a certainty

Buried deep in an analysis of all of the reasons why Donald Trump will go down to defeat against President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, a columnist suggested that history is not on his side and that the MAGA movement is winding down.

Writing for the Atlantic, Hussein Ibish of the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington explained that there are multiple roadblocks that will deny Trump a second presidency, including his extensive list of criminal trials that are casting a cloud over his campaign, his disparaging comments about the military that are resurfacing, and the fact that he is not the man he was in 2016 when he won his surprising victory over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Some dude named Apu who's part of an "institute" that hates you because you're white told you the same thing that you two morons have been repeating every time the Legacy Media says it for 3 years now.

*yawn*

There's no cloud over Trump's campaign. The guy is hardly even bothering to campaign at all right now and Democrats have fucked things up so bad that Trump has BY FAR his best polling numbers in three entire election cycles (see: above).

Get fucked Ted.

Biden has less than 11 months before he loses.
