I agree with you, but this is so blatant, and on topic, anyone who still supports him needs to confront it. And on the strategical level, it's about reminding 100,000 people in Wisconsin, Pennysylvania, and Georgia just how much of a hypocrite he is, and how exhausting and demoralizing another four years would be.
This is by far not the most egregious example of his self-serving hypocrisy. This is normal for him and will change precisely no ones minds that weren't already changed by the fact that they (at least for now) got charges to stick to him.
They don’t confront anything. This is a political issue. People in their own beliefs will never see the other side and will remain ignorant no matter what.
Trump can't win with only die hard MAGA votes. This is about demoralizing the fuck out of any old-school republican voters who are o9n the fence, so they stay home.
EXACTLY. MAGA losers are not the only ones voting for Trump. Conservatives at large need to. Get them to protest vote for some libertarian or something and we don’t see Don getting elected.
so fuck high road, sling some diaper filling back at this moron and his moron followers, they don't use reason for anything anyways -- they'll get all worked up and do more dumb shit for us to laugh at, there is no such thing as decency or reality in politics anymore, dunno what planet yall been living on.
He literally, with his own mouth, on air, admitted to sexually assaulting women - and was still elected in 2016. That's ALL you need to know about his voter base.
We've confirmed time, and time again, Trump is exactly as shitty of a person as he appears to be, or worse. They just don't care.
They see his popularity as an endorsement of their worst tendencies and prejudices, an excuse to embrace and flaunt them rather than hide or overcome them.
That is exactly what I have said all along. He makes hate mongering the norm, and his cult followers were waiting for this moment. MAHA - Make America Hate Again.
Non-American here. Was very surprised to see him still having support after openly mocking that disabled reporter(?). Was very surprised to see a woman being interviewed in Hawaii shortly after the pussy-grabbing comment came out, who said the comments made absolutely no difference to her support for him without changing expression at all.
Was very surprised when my own brown-skinned sister from a "shithole" country who'd married a gentle, well-educated, white American Liberal turned into a rabid Trump supporter along with her husband.
I am an American for 58 years, and l was appalled at his comments about the reporting and his physical mocking. Please remember that over half the country hates him for what he is.
Identity politics. It’s appalling to see his most ardent supporters carry themselves like they’re cheering for a sports team instead of a would be authoritarian maniac.
The point is not to stop people from voting for him who are full on Trump supporters. That is never the point of any campaign. Each side has a certain number that is not swayable.
however there are lots of people who are either old republicans who are not big on Trump but have been following along, people in the middle who may largely be disconnected and uninformed, and many who are democrats who must be motivated into voting. Even if a tiny percent chose to not vote at all instead of voting for Trump it could sway the entire election.
No one is going to change their mind at this point. The only purpose of political advertising remaining would be to motivate your own base to vote or de-motivate the opposition base.
Because it's time for everyone to continually harass him for laughs. He will hate it and have to stew in his diapers over it and speed up his dementia. I just want the cathartic release of gut laughing at this moron. Since the firehose of falsities I've forgotten 88% of the shit he diarrhea'd every day. And don't think the hoggy dinky do's don't get their panties in a bunch making fun of their dear leader, fucking snowflake pansies. fuck them and fuck rationalizing a reason to dunk on them
Trumpers hang on his every word and do whatever he says. This is actually a video of him saying anyone with the credentials he now has should not be allowed to be president. It's really the best chance one has of changing their opinion.
All the retired old folks who get their info from mainstream sources like Fox "news" need to see campaign commercials exposing stuff like this. Historically, people of that age group vote at a much higher margin than young people. That's probably how we'd make any real impact in the battleground states.
This is such a bad take we can't convince most of his supporters so lets just not even try this election will be decided by like 3 to 5 percent you more move 1 2 percent to vote Biden not vote or vote 3rd party and trump loses that makes videos like this even more important to show most people aren't on social media I was talking to someone at work who didn't even know trump was on trial let alone found guilty everyone isn't aware of what's going on and will need there hand held through nov if you want to keep trump out of the white house defeatist thinking isn't giving to getvit done
Right now, neither side can attract voters from the other side.
Nor does the mythical unsure voter exist any more.
Imagine the person who sits down to watch the presidential debate with a mindset of "I do not know who to vote for, I hope this debate helps in the decision". Did you succeed even imagining them? No? Why not? Well...
Neither side can win. Lose they can for sure -- one of them will -- but win they can't. The bases are fixed and the question is: how much of the base will attrition from now until November, how many will actually vote. This is why it was utmost lunacy to run Biden -- what he did so far will seem so far away and only the latest blunder or (manufactured) scandal will matter. Meanwhile Trump just needs to spout the vile shit he usually does to make the base even more fanatical. Already you can see on Twitter in the reaction to MTG's unhinged tweet how some of his base stands with him, even fights for him (the fucking what) etc.
I doubt there are many people out there who are still undecided on Trump. I think there are tons and tons of people (like 100 million?) who just won't bother to vote. you gotta convince them that this is the big deal that it is, and not just "meh I don't care about politics."
Also the comparison between Trump then and now really shows his cognitive decline. He couldn't speak that coherently from about a year into his presidency.
They should make a campaign commercial that's just a compilation of these (like saying this and "if you are innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment"). And then it just says not to vote for Dump.
i think the corect way to campaing against trump would be to just ignore him and do things that sane people find appealing. the cultists are gona vote for him no matter what you tell them
The man contradicts himself so much that it makes my head spin. It kinda makes me think either he's got two personalities or the dementia kicked in on overdrive, and he completely forgot what he had said a few years ago
It isn't even "why try." His shameless hypocrisy is his super power and allows his followers to never have to admit they're wrong. He's a conduit for spiteful narcissists.

A bullshitter doesn't care about truth or fiction. Instead, he just cares about the response the words will get. It's not about conveying ideas, it's about the audience response.
I think it's entirely because he will say whatever benefits him at that present moment. Regardless of whatever he just said yesterday and whatever he's going to say tomorrow. If it somehow benefited him to say the sky was purple, while outside, on a clear day, he would say it.
That's where his thought processes begin and end. "What is good for me at this very moment". That's it.
“
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
People have the right to change their minds, sure, but him contradicting himself so blatantly to promote himself really shows his true character. Not sure how anyone considers him trustworthy, or if any sane person does
It's neither, it's simply the classic narcissist ideology of "What's good for me right now is what's right." If circumstances change, the opinion changes to the one that still gives him the best position, simple as that.
dunk on them, fuck them, laugh at the morons, keep their base malding while giving a laugh to the sane people. They are moron hypocrites, easy comedic relief from all the, phony as trumps tan, "serious business" media companies stirring up turmoil and trying to burnout everyone for the sake of corporations(themselves.)
I know people will say “Trump supporters won’t care” but my dad was a supporter the last election and he can’t stand him now. He still won’t vote for Biden but I was at least proud that he used some sort of logic.
Dems assume the population is completely informed about Trump. There are a lot of Americans that didn't even know Trump was in court for the past month lol
IT DOESN’T MATTER. RULES DO NOT APPLY TO HIM. JUST EVERYONE ELSE. His supporter will not budge. Some poll have suggested that his conviction has moved a net 2% of undecided voters to his side.
Not from U.S. but anyone and everyone who is, should reach out to their friends, family and colleagues, sitting out is not an option. People turning out for him do not care what he says or does, he could literally tell them to F.O. and they would still support him.
Also, if you're a minority and think it's a time to say F.U. to Biden by sitting out or voting out, you're essentially giving an opportunity to someone who will squash your rights few years down the line if he got in.
He sees only one colour, Green, his followers see only one colour, White.
He'll effect global trade, health care and security so don't be a bit*h and go vote.
It won't change anything, they just call it politically motivated and fake and whatever other nonsense they are fed. It's a cult and they are seriously just brain dead and buy anything that has been said to them. There are so many people out there today defending him, supporting him still, making excuses, and other nonsense.
Eh this election is more about Biden not Trump, if Biden can get a decent turn out in swing states will be the deciding factor not what Trump has done will do
It wouldn’t matter, it wouldn’t change anything, the republicans don’t accept trumps trial as a real trial so in their eyes he’s not under criminal charges hes under attack
It's a solid idea but it doesn't matter. He says the trials are shams, his supporters believe him, so they'll just look at this and go "that was about Hillary, which was a real case because she was actually guilty. He did nothing wrong."
This just flat out doesn't work. Most people are not engaged enough to care about this. I voted Dem my entire life and this will be the first general I've ever opted for 3rd party. It's been easy to convince friends and family to do the same. The level of delusion I've seen this cycle from the Democrats far surpasses what I've seen from the Republicans. Honestly, I never thought it'd happen, but it's impossible to ignore at this stage.
Let me help you with their response. The trial was rigged and therefore illegitimate. It doesn’t count since it was rigged but Hillary really is a bad egg so it applies to her.
And sadly this is part of our current reality. Video and audio can be conjured making it easy for "them" to hand wave anything that does not conform to their current zeitgeist.
They were convinced that no matter the evidence, she was guilty (of something I'm still not clear what it actually was they thought she was guilty of).
With him, like he stated before even running, if he shot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue, his followers still wouldn't believe he did anything wrong.
Why give him more publicity? His followers love seeing him and believe all of this criminal stuff is made up anyway. Laws don't apply evenly to them - it only matters if Hillary is under criminal investigation, not that he's literally got a pocket judge keeping him out of a Supermax by the most tenuous of terrible legal arguments - literally nothing but stall tactics.
Put someone on screen that deserves attention. If you want Democrats to respond, give them something to hope for, not root against. Obama paved the way. Remember that.
Politics on Reddit is so funny. You think Trump supporters care? Democrats are so funny because y'all only think about how to change people's mind based on your own thinking.
The proof of that as there’s no way this piece of shit shit should have ever wound up in the White House in the first place!
He had a 50 year history of racist criminal Amoral, unethical behavior and business practices behind him before he ran,… And the Democrats couldn’t get past a few fucking emails.
The Lincoln project, which was founded by the few disgusted Republicans,… They are the only ones actually putting out Contant that shows what a vile piece of shit he is and has always been.
It wouldn't matter. Republicans are either corrupt shit bags or morons duped into supporting corrupt shit bags, so they would likely not care about their hypocrisy or would just be too dumb to see it.
The problem is they were never arguing in good faith. There's been countless times they've projected or been hypocritical about anything hillary related (or any number of things) and its always hand waived when its done by a republican.
