Fracture, baby, fracture!

This is what y’all dipshits get for following a cult of personality in a game of politics.

Amateur hour. Read a book.

I may be a bit too optimistic, but it would be amazing if this was the election that broke the republican party.

Oh, but it can’t :). Trump owns the Republican National Committee - Trump’s DIL, Lara Trump is the head of it. Republicans went ALL IN on Trump. Lol

Not just that, but they made their object of worship a man who was already well-past senior status when this whole thing started. Why would you have ever put all your chips on this guy (Trump in 2016)???

Jim Jones started Peoples Temple I’m his 20s and fucking ran with that for decades

THIS is his Modus Operandi. We will go a week in between horrible shit he says, probably less as time goes on. He can’t help himself.

Can’t wait for him to fucking lose.

I’m hoping we get into a positive feedback loop of Good polls for Harris -> Trump loses his shit -> Trump lashes out embarrassingly and loses support -> Good polls for Harris. So far it seems to be working.

Bold of you to insinuate any of them are capable of embarrassment.

I’ve already seen quite a few that are framing it as though the audience was eating out of his hand and for him against the interviewers

No matter what utter embarrassments happen, those same sycophants will frame it that way. How anyone would choose to believe it is beyond me

It is not possible for a conservative to be ashamed of bigotry. Bigotry is just who they are at their core.

Conservatives are proud of Trump’s behavior. That’s why they chose him as their representative. They could’ve choosen anyone in the nation to represent who they are, and they chose Trump to reflect their values. He is their reflection.

They might be embarrassed by his making a fool of himself but they support him because they agree with his positions.
