But why is that actually? It baffles me.

Feeling even an ounce more assured in getting away wið saying ð N-Word wiðout facing social consequences is a potent enough high for ðese slimeballs ðat ðey will literally hand him ðeir newborn child to rape on national television so long as he keeps ð supply coming.

Because Republicans have chosen Trump as the leader of their in-group, and everything they say and do is just sound bytes for getting him in power and abusing the out group, no matter how inconsistent, hypocritical, or false it is. They don't actually think what they mock the left for is bad, but if they can use it to justify being against them, they'll use it.

It's actually worse than that IMO, they've imprinted on him as a surrogate for themselves. To attack, challenge or abandon him now would be to do that to themselves.

There is more to it than that. It definitely plays a part though.

True, it was the same for Biden. I also don't think this only applies to Trump and America. I live in Europe and saw it happen in my own city. The right-wing sitting mayor was framing his opponent for being a communist supporting the Taliban, which was an absolute lie. Buddy only advocated for affordable housing and public transport. Though there was something to be said about his lack of plans to achieve that, it's probably better than just letting the free market do its thing. Anyways the media framed the sitting major as the sensible one, regardless of the lies he told, and he won the elections by a mile.

I keep forgetting that there was never a female president before. I'm German and 16 years of chancellor Merkel are pretty fresh in my mind still. I was 11 when she got into office, kinda crazy to think about.

Tbf, ð role to role equivalent of ð chancellorship in ð US would be speaker of ð house, and we had Nancy Pelosi for almost just as long before she retired as well.

Only reason we don't þink ðat way about her is because ð independent executive has inflicted upon us a grievous insistence on still existing.

Harris followers are better people with higher standards than Trump followers.

It's all propaganda. Biden gave the terrorist state of Isreal $18 Billion in American tax dollars this year alone. That's $13 Billion more in a year than the average of $5billion per year for the last 75 years.

I don't know wtf Dildo Tramp's angle is here, but both parties are Zionist boot lickers who've continuously funded genocide. I don't know why he would try and make his opponents look less evil than he is, and also piss off his skinhead supporters.

Edit: to be clear, you should still vote Harris because it's the lesser evil option in this fucked up circus. But denying reality makes you just as bad as air-headed trumpets. Both sides are owned by the same corporate interests and mega-rich, and we need to abolish this 2 party system, not make-up fantasies that one side is actually good.

Nobody is debating the fact that Trump is 1000x worse and also has and will continue funding Isreal if elected.

That's how you know the downvotes aren't from the progressive side. We don't downvote facts or minimize genocide.

It's all propaganda. [5 paragraphs of propaganda]

Welp, you got that right
