Best part about all this:

I know who the racists are in my community when they plop a Trump sign in their yard.

Also the worst part, because there are so damn many of them.

1 would be too many, but they're still the minority. they can only win if Dem turnout is low.

I dunno, I see them trying to steal the election if it isn't a landslide. If it's a landslide, then Johnson and SCROTUS won't have any ground to stand on. But if it's even remotely close, then they'll try to steal.

This is why he is so damn dumb, he's already got the racist vote! So lay off that shit and work on the moderates!

I'm glad Trump thinks he knows everything though so he more than likely wont listen to sound advice.

And the funny thing is, from his point of view (not mine, okay?), shouldn't Kamala claiming she's black a plus for his campaign?

"Another black president?! Hell no!"

I'm not sure why he does what he does. I guess he likes to stir shit up for the sake of stirring shit up.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 10 points 3 months ago

I think it's more that he needs black voters so he's trying to tell them that she's lying to them so she can "steal" their votes.

Typical asshole of course.

[-] elbarto777@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Which is even more asinine because - and I'm not going to pretend that racist black people don't exist - he is trying to apply the same logic that works with his non-black followers. Replace black with white - "Kamala now says she's white!!!" And you can tell that that's how he thinks.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

He's got a lot of neurons that aren't really firing at full capacity.

[-] DeanFogg@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

He thinks ratings are end all be all. Say some stupid shit to stay in the news just like Elon and people eat it up. It brings people to watch the main broadcasts because it's not "boring". That's why I think most media sites would do well to ignore those types for a bit

[-] dudinax@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah, he's really dumb about these kinds of things.

When he went back on revealing Epstein info because "some people will have their names exposed who didn't do anything wrong", he's being so transparent and so stupid. If he says he's going to release info, he doesn't actually have to release info. More than anyone else in the world, Trump should understand that, but he doesn't.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
