An almost majority of Americans are this stupid, at least the ones who vote.

Trump to visit Kenosha, WI on Tuesday in wake of unrest
- Thread starter Mezentine
- Start date
I'm surprised at how peaceful today went. Granted, I didn't really leave the house but it sounds like nothing bad really happened.
I was shown a picture of his supporters waiting for him, and they were all old.
This strategy won't work the way they think it will.

He's just looking to make the situation worse and then use it as a another notch on his campaign . This man literally could not care less about the lives lost, or grief that community is enduring, it's all just another situation for him to try to exploit for his own gain and weaponize against the other side.
This conservative tactic of Schrodinger's President - in which Trump both has and has not been President the past four years - continues to baffle me.
They've definitely tightened. Biden still has a decent lead, but the fact that it's gotten closer at all over the past week really tells you all you need to know.
He'll more than likely meet with Kyle Rittenhouse than Jacob Blake.
We're still in the wake of the conventions. Should stabilize in the next week or so. And even then, they haven't tightened a lot, if at all. And for an incumbent, that's still a bad result.
Poll averages at 538 have gone from +9.3 to +7. Again, not saying that means Trump is going to win, just find it amazing that anything he's done this week is actually helping him.
Some of those polls that lead to that tightening are claiming Trump is running nearly 30% approval with black voters and nearly 30% planning to vote for him.
Stuff like that is nonsensical and muddies the averages. But either way, sure stay vigilant and engaged.
I'm not saying Biden will for sure win. But putting polls like that in the averages helps to explain some of the tightening.
Exactly. Those polls looked like such BS.
FWIW - I am going to try to help get more people to vote over the next 7-8 weeks. Any little bit helps.
Yeah and people say he's joking when he's like "I deserve an extra term as a do-over", as if Trump's inability to accomplish anything is not his own fault, but Mueller/Democrats/Antifa/Socialism/Pelosi's fault.
It's always "Trump has accomplished more than any president" and "The Democrats have impeded everything Trump wants to do" at the same time.
So Trump pledged $42m to Wisconsin statewide for various public safety spending. $4m is earmarked for rebuilding small businesses. $1m for what sounds like paying police overtime. And so on.
He still won't accept responsibility for his administration's complete vacuum of leadership and decision making on practically any issue related to this, which all culminated in the endless protests he chooses to blame on (only) Democratic mayors and governors. He refuses to lead, and when things go predictably wrong because of it he throws tax payer money around to try and win points with his already cultish base.
What a sad state of affairs.
Republicans understand that their base is fundamentally fascist in thinking and culture. And one of the tenets of fascism is the suppression of cognitive dissonance.
We are always strong/about to fail; our great leader is invincible/needs our help to save him. Etc.
I'll turn on that channel and report back what's said.
EDIT: The guy in the photo is the camera store's FORMER owner. The current owner wanted nothing to do with Trump as "everything he does turns into a circus"

Quite honestly I don't know why Democrat's is going on "defense". Maybe I am not watching all the right news but the main news I saw was the gunman who killed two people. So isn't that like Charlottesville all over again? Why is Trump going on the offence about Biden being lawless? Seems like some right wing folks started coming over and antagonize people that eventually led to two dead by a person crossing state line.

A core tenet of facism is that the enemy=the other is both despicably weak and devastatingly strong at the same time. Depending on the current need of the facist it will be easy for the leader to crush the other or he is the only thing standing between his followers and a ruination.
It's why the cognitive gymnastics Fox News and similiar propaganda outlets trained the viewership to do makes it so easy to have them slide into pure, unfiltered facism. People were warning against this for years/decades, but now Trump is trying to reap what was sown.
