Pretty sure a lot of people are going to the hardware store just for something to do because they’re stupid.

No, people didn't know how bad he was. Yes, he was unorthodox, screamed a lot, but how bad could it be? Get rid of some career politicians and bring is some street smarts. Put the average Joe first. Some tougher policies against immigrants would be nice. Well, turns out he made a complete mess out of everything. So bad, nobody predicted. And the GOP let him get away with it, as long as he kept nominating their judges.

Telling young people that Trump's loss is a sure thing is going to give them yet another reason not to go vote, as if they needed one.

Polling shows that a majority of voters, including a majority of Dems, believe Trump will win. Just like prior to the 2018 midterms a majority of voters, including Dems, believed that Republicans would hold the House. That’s a good thing.

I think many of us suspect he will lose, but our brains are trying to protect us from going through the events of November 2016 again and are trying to convince us that he will definitely win and we should be prepared.

i think trump will probably lose but its not some magical definitive thing and i can see if miricals happening, he could pull of a narrow EC win. but with the poo poo he is doing now. i am unsure of even that.OperaMouse posted:No, people didn't know how bad he was.

LeeMajors posted:What the gently caress are you talking about? Okay yes we all knew that. But what we didn't know was what a Trump admin looks like. We do now, and even in our wildest nightmares who could imagine Trump would unleash a pandemic and tank the economy in 2016? People also voted for him largely on "eh 4 years, how bad can he be? Might shake things up!"  This is a historically unpopular and hated republican president up for re-election, vs a 8 year term Democratic president with the most unpopular woman in the world running against him and the Russia/ right wing propaganda machine cranked to 11 in his corner. 2016 and 2020 are not comparable situations politically

The red states will have a “Grave of the Unknown Chud” where it’s patrolled alternately by a confederate flag-covered rear end in a top hat riding back and forth on his mobility scooter and a white man driving a BMW SUV.

As frustrating as climate change denial is this poo poo is on another level. My mom's got a friend who's 82 and says it isn't a big deal even if she got it. You can guess who she voted for.

Put the average Joe first. Some tougher policies against immigrants would be nice. Lots of people knew, but there are still millions of voters out there way less plugged in than almost any D&D poster. The research after the election suggested that the electorate at large thought Trump was the more moderate candidate. And why wouldn't they, if a casual glance at headlines or trending social media would give you lots of things like "Trump Promises 'Beautiful' Health Care Plan" and "Oh, he's one of those NYC business Republicans, he's not gonna sign onto the fundamentalist anti-LGBT stuff."? He had no record you could point to, and if you're lazy you can say the bad stuff was him playing to the base and/or just the way Democrats always call Republicans Nazis and Republicans always call Democrats Communists. Plus, he was running against HILLARY, who we all knew was a radical extremist because the media had hammered that since before anyone knew what an e-mail was. The people that dumb in 2016 are still dumb now, but Trump's not an outsider with no record and his opponent hasn't been the Great Satan in half of American media for 20+ years.

It's Mark Burnett's fault the guy's president.Aramis posted:There's a LOT of people who convinced themselves that his campaign was mostly posturing and populist pandering, and that he wouldn't actually be that bad. Yeah someone I work with acted like I was being silly when I said how bad it was when he won because of course it was just an act and he's gonna moderate. He thought I was nuts when I said Trump is exactly what he appears to be. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Apr 17, 2020 |
