I find it hard to believe that Trump’s behavior since he lost in 2020 has garnered him many new voters. I know the cult members will vote for him no matter what but I think he’ll need more support than they alone can provide.

I hope that the more people start to focus on the November election they will see Trump’s erratic behavior and mental slippage. I also hope he has at least one criminal trial start before the election and more dirt comes out.

It's still a coin flip at this point. 2020 was basically down to about 45K votes and you know the Trump campaign will lie, cheat, and steal to get the tactical victories. Social media is going to be a shitshow.

Yeah, how many previous Biden voters stay home vs how many previous TFG voters have died in key states. As it stands today, it will be about voter turnout for which side. And then comes the cheating. The GOP as an organization have shown they are bound and determined to cheat wherever they can get away with it and we have to rely on the honesty of individuals within that organization, like we did it 2020.

That's my thinking as well, and over 20M people have reached voting age since 2020. I can't see them breaking for Trump.

If polling is to be believed, 8.5M of them would vote for Trump. Even if it's not to be believed, there's no reason to think they would vote too out of line with their geographical demographic. If all the young Biden supporters are moving to blue cities, their vote is essentially changes nothing as far as the presidential election goes. In 2020, 18-29 made up 17% of the vote. Essentially they'll just cancel out 65+ in 2024.

Of course I’m expecting people to act rationally. It’s the fatal flaw in my scenario.

="hepcat"]My only hope is that moderates and independents really DO dislike Trump on a scale that’s been promised by some pollsters/opinion pieces.

Biden won moderates and independents by double digits in 2020. I really don't see that changing, and if anything it should be worse for Trump.

I agree, this election is going to be decided on turnout. If turnout is the same as 2020, Biden wins handily. I think the "voter apathy" argument is valid, but I also think it hurts both candidates. And probably hurts Trump more than Biden. I think Democrats, as a whole, even if not excited about Biden will still turn out to make sure Trump doesn't win. I don't necessarily see the reverse happening for Republicans who are lukewarm on Trump.

I see you've met people.

Too many voters wish they could choose None of the Above.

Too bad it's his friends that decide whether he gets the job or not.

I'm not sure friends is the right word. can you imagine anyone actually being friends with him?

I'm just going along with what was in the meme.

You can tell those are AI-generated by looking at Trump's hands. They're weirdly normal in size.

And he only has five fingers

Also, there appear to be vegetables and fruits sitting near Trump in the second picture.

LOL

Also I dont see the car that was used to haul Trump's fat out of shape ass up there for the pic in those photos.

Makes sense that Trump would have Biden wear a backpack and also carry his bag.

Reflects their presidential burdens quite well.

Interesting video about the history of Israel-Palestine conflict from a Singaporean media, first video in a series of videos about historical context of the current Israel-Hamas war.

I'm seeing in other fox news reports that she then said ‘person, woman, TV, camera, man’ and not ‘person, woman, man, camera, TV’ and proceeded to point to a picture of an elephant while calling it a pachyderm.

How would you explain the bearded blonde dude image to someone unfamiliar with it? Adopted by MRAs?

Reporter: “Are you thinking of trying to use campaign funds to pay some of the penalties?”

Trump: “What penalties?”

Reporter: “In the New York fraud case and the defamation case.”

Trump: “I didn't do anything wrong. I mean, that's been proven as far as I'm concerned.”

He just needs to get elected. Then he can wash the penalties away or, if he uses campaign funds before then, he can make that OK. The stakes are really high for him.

THERE ARE NO PENALTIES. It is so.

Reporter : "Are you just stupid or ignorant? Im not getting which you are"
Trump : "yes"

Hadn't seen this one before

Stealing that. Need that for a bumper sticker.

Yeah, I figured it was something that would potentially get a lot of use this year so I should share it.

It needs to be more efficiently stated somehow.

Maybe

“Protect your Border like We do our Schools: Texas, you have our thoughts and prayers.”

Meh

Sadly you know that answer is OK, we need more armed teachers to protect our schools because everybody needs to be armed security standing their ground then we can all be safe.
