One thing I've noticed, a little detail in the background over the past few months, is that his tweets have lost a lot of their obvious bots/crazy top posts. More and more, everytime I scroll its seemingly actual people just expressing disappointment or disgust in what he says.
In times like I these, I like to think its an example of his ever decaying base.

Yeah, he is above the law. Republicans have already made him dictator and Democrats can't do anything.
To be fair, his actual brand is basically dying in real time. Since after the presidency he'll effectively be toxic with the affluent and only supported by racist white people in increasingly poor locations.
Yeah same here. I always joke about how there's no way I could hold it in.
I am so mad right now. I can't even. Theyre trying to get her killed. At least AOC and Bernie have said something so far, this disgusting attack cannot be allowed to stand.
Adam Serwer on All In made a good point:
Trump's plan to release migrants in sanctuary cities hinges on two things he believes:
- The migrants are violent criminals who will hurt and kill people
- Releasing them in these sanctuary cities is punishment for opposing him, and he believes they will kill Americans (because again he thinks they're violent and unable to control these impulses).
So the president is very cool with the idea of killing American citizens who don't bend at the knee to him. Which ... is pretty frightening to think about.
Granted, there are Trump supporters in these places, too. So he'd be willing to put those folks' lives on the line by doing this, too, if they were as bloodthirsty as he says they are (they aren't)

Are you saying that the dems are doing enough by simply having a democrat on their side who's muslim?
No, I'm saying one side is not openly asking for the murder of a Muslim woman; the very fact we even have someone like Omar who speaks here mind if proof "our" side isn't the same.
You think GOP would even consider electing an open, intelligent black muslim woman? I'm tired of this shit; we have a common enemy and all we do is try to tear into each other for the smallest of percieved slights. Give the dems a fucking chance to respond Jesus.
If Pelosi and co say nothing, then torch them. You'll have my sword.
Are there people really calling them the same? Or are they just calling out Dems for their responses or lack thereof. A lot of people remember the bullshit with that resolution they put up.
Footage of 9/11 intercut with Omar saying "some people did some things"
I think you're lumping other shit into this that we don't have to go into. More democratic leaders should be standing by Omar's side and condemn the vitriol and hate she's receiving that's putting her actual safety at risk. People are disappointed that that hasn't happened enough and they are entitled to be.
I've seen takes of people saying they're the same, and won't vote.
I'm just tired of this infighting. If the dems don't speak up I'll join you in hating them.
That I don't disagree with, but I am speaking of Trump's latest Nazi statement.
Critic's of her original money comments vs AIPAC dick sucking vs outright Trump being a Nazi are three different issues.
Accidentally quoted someone
I don't think those people were ever going to vote Democrat.
I can't tell anymore, we've been in constant fight mode for the past 2.5 years.
I think it also dawned on a lot of dumbasses that his tweet is teeing up a free dunk in his face.
Sanders and Warren backing Omar is a big fucking mood my friends.
I wish more in leadership would.

Warren is too.
Meanwhile Kamala just tweeted less than a half hour ago about...her AG experience.
And good on her for doing so.
Edit: Included her in my previous comment.
If the right can rally around sexual abusers, surely our leadership can rally around women of color speaking truth.
It ain't even that hard, rally around someone being a target of incited violence.
If something happens to her, everyone who didn't speak out should be ashamed.
It seems right wing media doesn't care if she's harmed or not. We have to protect our own.
What's happening is unprecedented and disgusting.
Can the House censure the President? Is that how it works? Unless you mean a symbolic resolution or something.
Meanwhile in Kumbayaland.....
"Justice for All" but refuses to comment on Omar.
Just checked all the major candidates' Twitters and only Bernard and Forma have said anything. I still hate Bernard but I have to give credit where credit is due here for being first here (Forma was just 15 minutes after him) and very clear with his words.

I don't give a shit what "the house can do".
It's clear the right gives no mind to procedure or precedence.
True, but unfortunately they've set my expectations very low for them lately
Why not?
