Trump’s base has always been irrelevant. They’re just not large enough to matter. They weren’t the reason he won last time. They weren’t enough to save him from losing this time. It won’t matter one bit whether they “recognize” President Biden or not. They’re just not relevant.
The media spent the past four years insisting Trump’s base was everything.
Palmer Report spent the past four years explaining why Trump’s base was totally irrelevant to his reelection prospects.
Guess who was right 🙂
It’s not that I’m that much better at this. It’s just that the media wanted Trump’s irrelevant base front and center so you’d stay tuned in, because you hate/fear Trump’s base.
I dislike ratings-driven false narratives because they get in the way of important real narratives.
Trump tweeted that there was "NO WAY" he lost the election, and now "YES WAY" is trending because everyone is tweeting it back at him. This has turned into junior high school, and Trump is still finding a way to lose.
Donald Trump is now going on television and insisting that he lost the election because of "massive dumps." How are SNL and Alec Baldwin even supposed to top that?
Just a reminder that whenever reports say that someone is being "considered" for a position, it usually turns out false. Most of the time, the person is leaking his or her own name in the hope of a self fulfilling prophecy. I'd bet Rahm Emanuel has been leaking his own name.
For clarity: when a leak says that someone is definitely getting the job, it usually turns out true. When a leak says someone is being "considered" or "strongly considered" or any such phrasing, it's usually jus the person planting their own name.
Why does the media print it anyway, when then they know it's just the person falsely leaking their own name? It makes for easy ratings and page views. And when it turns out false, you just assume Biden changed his mind, instead of realizing you were being played by bad actors.
