    Well that’s ironic cause he’s guilty of at least one of those things and wants the other, at the very least.

    This is probably why he has been so hesitant on making campaign promises this time around.

    If he takes up a stand other than “dems are bad”, he risks dividing his fanbase.

      Well his issue is that he has been saying shit to appease his cult and they took a turn for straight up fascism, and then his issue is that the coup failed and he is no longer in power and that maga cult is simply not big enough to get him elected, he has to take some more reasonable stances to attract the “normal” republicans, but then those somewhat normal views are too fucking extreme for his maga cult so he is in risk of losing them if he says stuff like this, he is kinda fucked

      Sure, but I mean, that’s not why he and the GOP don’t have a platform. It’s because he is a compulsive liar and nobody - least of all himself - can even keep track of all the contradictory positions he’s taking.

      Why doesn’t he just do the classics which they all agree on? Promises of overt bigotry and being financially cucked by billionaires always work great on Repubs.

        He should be just promising to invade some ME country and not touch upon domestic issues other than “it’s gonna be truly great this time folks”.

            That would be very traditional, but a bit contradictory to his promises of not bringing in more Mexicans. Unless genocide is implied, of course.

        It worked when he had it in the bag because potentially democratically voters would’ve stayed home for Biden.

        Now they get mobilised because they feel the shift in energy, so Trump has to try fishing in the less extremist ponds.

        Trump’s one strategy is to say something and see if it catches. If it falls flat, he won’t bring it up again. If it works, he’ll hammer it harder next time.

        He must have felt how much they’re losing on abortion and tried to pull it back, but the base won’t follow him there. You probably won’t hear him bring it up again for the rest of the campaign.

        We also have roughly half the population of the entirety of Europe in one country. With that many people, you’re going to have more dumb dumbs than wherever OP is from.

          EU’s 449M + Ukraine’s 38M + Belarusian’s 9M + 115M in european part of Russia = 661M. There are also two european cities in Kazahstan and entire UK, but we will ignore them for now.

          So yeah, roughly half.

          With that many people, you’re going to have more dumb dumbs than wherever OP is from.

          We are talking about concentration, not about absolute numbers.

        Yeah, most of the crowd at a Trump rally is going to be a caricature of all the negative stereotypes about Republicans and/or Americans. And if we know them personally, we can tell they aren’t right in the head.

      The people showing up to trump and turning point bullshit are not representative of the majority. But constant coverage of those morons since trump definitely makes it seem that way

    Scrolling by quickly, the thumbnail in my Lemmy client makes it look like he’s got a hitler mustache. The framing of the microphone and his hand is almost perfect and very fitting.

    Those same people are the first ones in the abortion line when it happens to them. Hell, they even camp outside the clinic if the father is going to be black

    When I saw this post scrolling by the thumbnail really got my attention…

    That little piece of black mic in front of his nose…it just reminded me of some figure from the not so distant past…he also rallied huge crowds and they were all cheering for every single word he said.

        As other commenter said - they are consistent. If abortion is murder, that’s any abortion. If it’s not, then no abortion is a crime.

        The only case where you want to forbid abortions generally, but allow them for rape and incest cases, is if you are a fascist who wants to force women to give birth except for most outrageous cases (also with rape the child is more likely to be, eh, not loved by the mother, while with incest more likely to have pathologies), those likely to be less useful for their demography fetish.

        So in this case Trump is worse than his supporters if we try to deduce logic from the position taken, while his supporters are worse in practice.

    Just in case someone truly believe that all this s**tshow would just disappear without Trump around. Let’s face it, he’s a symptom of the problem, not the main cause.
