Well there’s the hooker hush money stuff which i don’t think bothers most people. Not uncommon for presidents to have a bit on the side. Besides everyone always knew he was a creep from way back. Used to run teenage beauty pageants with his mate Jeff and liked to check in on the girlies.
But the espionage stuff, that’s a bit more captain obvious. I think more people finally saw through his charade when that came to light.
Huge debts to Russians and Saudis and a room full of hoarded classified homeland security documents and a convenient fax machine. Somehow his son in law is gifted 2 billion dollars from the Saudis.
I mean if this stuff doesn’t make you ask questions nothing will.
There are still a great many who are convinced he’s the second coming of Christ, their saviour who needs their donations. A lot of people. Easily enough to go to an election with.
But they’re also in a very conflicted state. Because trump wants them to cosy up to the Saudis for money. But then you show them a picture of an Arab and they get vey confused. Hard to forget 911, too soon.
And then you’ve got Ukraine that won’t go away. Republicans are emotionally invested because freedom. So how does trump get a backflip for more Russian money. If the Russian money isn’t coming in they can’t campaign effectively.
But then you look at lib dems and you see dying America staring right back at you. And that’s confronting. And they haven’t overcome that with Kamala because she hasn’t come through for them on that front. She’s presented as dominant and interfering. And that’s a big fail.
Yes the economy is booming again but that’s only because of the stimulus post covid. It’s not sustainable.
So I guess we run it back again in 2024 even though the results are a forgone conclusion. I would expect he’ll lose by an even larger margin than last time if that’s possible. I don’t think a president has been defeated by more of the popular vote before Trump. I think he holds the record. But likely he will beat his previous record this time around.
Not because of the charges brought against him. But because of the setback for women’s rights. I mean roughly half the population are female and they’re going to feel the need to vote.
And that’s how this thing works. People don’t vote unless they have a good reason to bother. Old people vote. Middle aged some do. Young people couldn’t be bothered. But women’s rights will bother them. Even if you’re poor in America you’ve still got your freedom and they can never take that from you. But if you’re a young woman they’re trying to with some success.
If you can entice the young to vote it’s game over.
Be another fun one to watch from afar because Biden is deteriorating rapidly. Dose’nt know where he is or what day it is. He’s just a walking advertisement for alzheimers. Sad but true. They’ll probably just have to promise him an ice cream to lure him on stage. Vs orange Jesus with his funny comb over making crass comments and smirking.
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned
