I hear you and want to believe this too, but I am forever surprised at how much pro Trumpers are willing to ignore and just how many of them there are. His base will cheer him on and the rest will make excuses or turn a blind eye.
He’s losing extremists to his VP pick having a immigrant wife and mixed race kids, and he’s losing moderate with his VP pick who is an extremist.
He’s soon to lose a huge amount of women over bodily autonomy, he’s promised to build concentration camps for Latinos, he’s literally citing ‘operation wetback’ as a mission statement. He’s gonna really eat shit when he’s the old idiot that can’t talk right versus the average mental acuity displayed by an opponent who is too young to retire, and has public speaking skills beyond the average 12 year old.
This is blowing up so severely, he’s already panicking.
I have no doubt his base will ignore it at best, and an awful lot of them will cheer it on.
But the base doesn’t matter. They’ll vote for him absolutely no matter what.
What matters is all of the moderates and independents and such - all of the people who could go either way. They’re the ones who are likely to decide that Trump and the republicans are just too foul to support.
You’re not. There has not been any room left for doubt for nearly a decade that he is anything but an opportunistic racist misogynistic queerphobic ableist christofascist grifter. Those who already support him will continue to cheer him on because he feeds directly in to their need to feel superior to “others”, and no one still on the fence is going to suddenly have an epiphany…
Ignore? I have it on unfortunately good authority that at least a decent chunk of his base agree with what he is spouting and are loving how he “speaks the truth” or “says what they’re all thinking”. Sadly he’s enabling more and more of them to feel comfortable saying the quiet part out loud and acting on their impulses.

I hope I’m wrong

Come again?
Also, why did my keyboard let me swipe “wetback”? Racist-ass keyboard.
An Eisenhower-era deportation program that set up the current dynamic of militarized deportation and border control.

He is also a convicted felon and has a civil judgement of being a rapist.
Adjudicated rapist just doesn’t have the same ring to it

Where I come from, if you speak like the GOP does you’d get shot at.
Do you guys have any vacancies?
