On X, political commentator Ed Krassenstein, a frequent Trump critic, commented on the change of opinion about polling numbers among the former president’s supporters.
“MAGA is breaking down. They are back to calling the polls fake just because they don’t reflect what they want them to say,” Krassenstein wrote. “It’s funny how they touted the polls when Trump was up.”
He’s preparing his base for another January 6th.
Has been for 4 years now. It’s so frustrating to watch play out in front of our eyes.
When he picked JD Vance he thought for sure he was going to win and almost certainly would have.
Nah, I hate this narrative. I’m sure he thought he would win, but I think it would have been pretty close with Biden ultimately prevailing. We’ll never know now. But saying Trump was a lock is ridiculous.
Yup. For the last few months it’s been nothing but “Biden is old and loves open borders,” but when Kamala starts to pull ahead it’s, “be on the lookout for runaway fraud”.
Honest question, as a non-American.
Surely any and all secret services will be fully prepared this time, and if some MAGA nutjobs were to try it would result in an absolute massacre, right?
Would they be dumb enough to try? I know that you’re all armed to the teeth, but the US Army and Secret Service versus a bunch of cousin-fucking redneck bois is likely to end up in the former winning pretty handily.
Remember that fascists think of their enemy as being both weak and strong at the same time. This gives them a blind spot where they’re incapable of weighing their enemy’s true strength.
They’ll try, but they’re not as strong as they think they are. The number of Trump voters actually willing to get violent isn’t very big. Could get very bloody in a short period of time, but they’ll ultimately lose.

Let’s bring stochastic terrorism back into the parlance.
That’s too sloppy. They’re gonna go for thing where it goes to, I forget if it was a house of reps vote or where each state gets a singular vote.
The electoral system? (Each state is supposed to get a number of votes based on their population)
If the election is contested, then there are “backup” protocols that are different than than the normal electoral college. I don’t recall if the “backup” protocol was a simple vote in the House of Representatives, or that each state gets a single vote. Trump kinda tried last time but didn’t have the support.
No he’s not. They won’t need to storm the capitol because he will already have stolen the votes.
They’re never fake when he’s ahead, tho’.
Weird.
Weren’t they “fake” in 2016 and 2020 too? The man has such a limited vocabulary, no wonder he appeals to morons.
It was widely reported at the time, but vocabulary analysis put him at about 8th grader level.
They might feel like they were right in 2016 given Trump ultimately did win the election (despite losing popular vote).
that’s how you win an electrician. by faking poles
Funny how the polls were “hugely precise” when they favored him.
The melting mango is losing his shit. I don’t think his ticker can take the stress, especially considering it’s fueled mostly with hamberders. I’m calling it now-- if he loses the Nov election he’ll have a heart attack within 6 months.
My money is on a massive stroke and noone actually recognizes it because the new word salad is just like the old word salad
