Only 1/3rd, huh?




Guess we're back to Trump bashing everyday now that it's been realized that you're going to have to run against him now.

The media lied to you again. Imagine that.

The media did NOT lie. I can attest from decades of personal experience at work that Trumptards won't stop embellishing their capabilities unless you frighten them into telling the unvarnished truth. When measured, it is pitiful how large the gap is between Trumptards' imagined grand claims and their actual itty-bitty achievements.

The Media: “Trump sent his followers to attack our Capital and assassinate his vice-president.”

Trumptards: “He didn’t send them. They did it on their own.”

The Media: “He waited hours to stop it. That shows he still approved of it.”

Trumptards: “He didn't approve of it.”

The Media: “Then if he didn't approve of it and still didn't stop it, he must have just choked and didn't know what to do. It can only be one or the other. Either way, how can he be trusted to protect our country?”

Trumptards: “Trump will be fine. He will be the next President.”

The Media: “You really don’t see what is wrong with Trump??”

Yes. They did.

Incorrect. The event you keep saying happened never actually happened in the first place.

You forget that I am around Nazis, the East Texas version, all day long. You Nazis screw up your private lives, just like Trump does with his divorces, adultery, gluttony, and tax cheating. The Pièce de Résistance? Your crappy behavior births a life unique to yourself. But instead of owning your deviant personal creations, you blame the Democrats for your ugly life.

How Trump still taps into America's cultural animus

He's uniquely dangerous. But he's also a product of forces that will outlast him.

by Scott G. Nelson and Bradley S. Klein, Sept 6, 2023

Following the fourth wave of indictments of former President Donald J. Trump on August 15, most commentary has addressed the legal details of the accusations, speculated on likely legal tactics, and explored the political consequences of a trial during an election year.

What has been missing is a discussion of why so many otherwise “reasonable” people continue to embrace an anti-democratic and authoritarian leader so much so that recent polls show Trump and President Joe Biden effectively tied.

Dismissing Trump supporters as “deplorables” or as nut cases misses the point. The Democratic Party in particular, and liberalism in general, seriously underestimate the emotional and affective dimensions of right-wing authoritarianism in America.

It’s probably too late to try to convince most Trump supporters to abandon their willingness to endorse openly fascist, racist, science-denying policies. Instead, we need to understand what’s behind their support and how those on the margins — still leaning, but perhaps not quite in either camp — could be persuaded to embrace a more inclusive set of policies that honor the country’s diversity, address major public issues like the climate crisis, and exert leadership relative to a host of foreign policy challenges.

Transgression is at the core Trumpism

When Trump first won the presidency in 2016, legacy media outlets, including the New York Times, wrung their hands in anguish for having missed the story of profound public anxiety about the future. They raced to diners and truck stops across the Midwest in an effort to find out what “ordinary Americans” — those who rejected the Roosevelt coalition and bicoastal liberalism — were thinking and feeling.

The stories that resulted painted a picture of the American Dream in a considerable state of decay, if not outright shambles. To anyone familiar with those areas, this was less a revelation than a confirmation that the myth of the hard-working family building a better future in the land of opportunity was just that. The deep residues of racism from the Civil War and its aftermath in the Jim Crow South were just the most flammable components of a promise gone awry, thanks to persistent ethnocentrism and racism, the enduring power of class stratification, and the ability of the wealthiest to game the system for advantage in taxes, regulatory neglect, and evasion of legal accountability.

Trump’s success as a demagogue was to give voice to growing frustration in a way that had never been done publicly before. Until he came along on the national stage, the anger, resentment, and entitlement of lawless transgression was always present, but relegated to the margins of mainstream politics.

Of course, this is a contestable point. Anyone who has studied the KKK, or Father Coughlin, or lynchings in the deep South, the Tulsa massacre of 1920 or sundown laws in the North would know that overt racism was always deeply embedded in both political parties. But by the 1960s the most extreme manifestations were fighting uphill battles against the Civil Rights movement and a succession of Supreme Court decisions made during Earl Warren’s tenure as chief justice.

Still, the underlying rage of white supremacists and others allied with the right, or the so-called “conservative” wing, never went away. The Nixon

At some level that commentators prefer to overlook, the message resonates with a percentage of the population who view themselves as existing in a state of precarity and impending doom.

I hope Trump is nominated for President. The following will encourage Trumptards more than before to vote for him in the general election, but decent people won't go near Mr. Radioactive Man:

Yesterday, a federal judge found former President Donald Trump liable for defaming writer E. Jean Carroll for a second time after he claimed she was a liar following allegations that he raped her in the 1990s.

Judge Lewis Kaplan’s decision means that an upcoming civil trial in the case will simply determine how much Trump owes Carroll in damages, rather than focusing on his liability. It’s the second time Trump has been found liable for defamation after a jury came to the same conclusion earlier this year. Kaplan concluded that since that jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll, the question of whether his claims about her fabricating the incident constituted defamation had been settled, negating the need for another trial on the matter.

I listen to Trump voters talking at lunchtime and after work. It goes like this:
Trump is wonderful
Details of their latest adultery
Trump won the last election
Angry about an ex-wife or ex-girlfriend or their own mother
Trump will be fine
Hinting about how they cheat on taxes
Trump will deport those Mexicans
Stories about their kids on drugs
Trump will bomb Mexico
The importance of Christ in their life
Another story about fornication/adultery being the center of their life
Trump will win the next election
Stories about their drunkenness
Trump is unfairly treated by the MSM
Stories about their numerous illnesses caused by their excesses
We need Trump
Stories about being sued/going into Bankruptcy/home foreclosure/not buying insurance/latest financial tragedy
It goes on forever.

That is the messy life of East Texas Trumptards. I listen because I don't have any stories since I never messed up my life, except that one time, and still have the scarred leg 50 years later as a reminder to not vote for a Republican such as Nixon.

I heard a second-hand version of this story at lunch from Trumptards excitedly condemning Obama. They believed every word spoken by Tucker and will vote for Trump:

Tucker Carlson has gone nuts

Published on September 7, 2023

In case you haven't heard, Tucker Carlson's latest is that in 1999 Barack Obama had a night of coke-fueled sex with a guy named Larry Sinclair, a serial con artist with a very long rap sheet and a slew of aliases. Seriously.

I say "latest," but only because it's new for Tucker. For the rest of us it's just ancient conspiracy theory twaddle. Sinclair wrote a whole book about it back in 2008 and it was as laughable then as it is now. He even dramatically agreed to take a lie detector test—and failed it. In true Trumpian style, he then insisted that one of Obama's aides had bribed the polygraph folks to rig the test.

So why do I care about this? I don't. But it goes to show something unexpected: apparently Fox News really did keep a lid on Tucker while he worked there. It often seemed as if his ranting could hardly get worse, but it's now obvious that it could—and has. No wonder they fired him. He must have been even more of a loose cannon than we imagined.
