Re-reading that thread, I could have been a bit more emphatic as to why none of those empirically terrible things are having any tangible political effect on Trump.
It’s not because they’re not true. It’s because Republicans don’t care.
“Literally nothing that happened, including multiple impeachments and several dozen felony convictions, was enough to dethrone Trump as the 2024 Republican nominee let alone send him to prison to face the justice he has long deserved” sure would have been a bitter pill to swallow
2019: Wait. He was CONVICTED?
2024: Yes, of 34 felonies
2019: How is he still the nominee?
2024: Nobody in the GOP wants to fight him for it badly enough
2019: The Democrats should be talking about this every day
2024: They do, but it’s not making much difference
NOTE: The following thread is intended satirically, and suggests very offensive language. It is advised that sensitive followers close eyes before reading.
CNN: Mr. Trump, please explain your plan to lower grocery prices
TRUMP: I’ve got a great plan, a beautiful plan, and we’re gonna make other countries pay their share. But to me, it’s far more important that we get rid of the n****rs
CNN: Wait, what
ABC: Would you support gun control to prevent school shootings
TRUMP: No, we need to keep our guns to protect us from the n****rs
NYT: Would you sign a bill to make abortion illegal
TRUMP: That won’t be an issue once we get rid of the n****rs that are raping white women
Genuinely not sure what difference that would make.
1. The people who care aren’t voting for him 2. The people who are voting for him don’t care 3. Undecided voters who would be swayed by this are all but nonexistent statistically
To suggest that “The Republican Nominee for President Is Clearly Out of His Goddamned Mind” would have a cataclysmic effect on a substantial subset of the voting populace & thereby move the electoral needle in any way, shape or form is an anachronistic relic of pre-2016 politics
