Well, I think the republican convention's tactic of being batshit insane will probably lead to more people paying attention to it. I'm definitely seeing more people talking about it on Reddit, for example. While I think most of it is negative attention, it's still what happened in 2016. I think the difference is that more people dislike Trump and that this time it's not anger at anything, they're in power and it just feels crazy. It was full of contradictions, too; Hayley talking about removing the confederate flag after a mass shooting while Trump is out there getting mad at NASCAR for removing it and talking about respecting heritage. Their message was the same poo poo that so far, seems to not be working: Joe Biden is a radical leftist who's going to destroy everything you know and love, and Trump is the only defender left of western civilization. While I think more people are paying attention, I don't think it'll help Trump much at all. But who knows. This country's full of rubes.

“The terrifying prospect of Joe Biden” is an interesting angle. I mean... who does Joe Biden terrify? He’s going to destroy America’s white suburbs? Can you even imagine Joe Biden not in a suburban environment?

Grondoth posted:https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1298075449021607941 This is a really badly delivered speech just on the face of it. Very squawky and bleating and lacking any real conviction despite being screeched at the viewer and very bad cadence to the speech itself making it all very awkward. I mean Republican faithfuls clearly don't give a gently caress, there votes are already locked in from the get go and they're the only ones the Republican leadership bother speaking to anymore so I guess this is the level of effort you get. Like a lot of things these days, particularly in a post social media reactionary landscape it's just a matter of going through the motions and letting the target crowd of the rhetoric work itself around it with whatever meaning and importance it wants to attach to something working backward from the preferred result, justification and take. Aside from being reminiscent of fascist rallies it's all very new media. Low content and devoid of specific meaning, but delivered with bluster and a sense of apparent urgency to allow the easy follow through of motions and expected reactions. It's not about convincing any new people, it's about upkeep so that the "right" people are in the "right" state of frenzy that they remember to vote for the "right candidate" on election day and then gently caress em' for at least another 4 years. More than Triumph of the Will, though there's that too, it's just straight up base level Der Wille zur Macht poo poo.

https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/1298295934225440770 This surprised me. There was way more activity here and on reddit around this convention. I guess it was that left wing spaces have things to be mad about rather than just going "well... it's the democrats"

I was able to watch most of the democratic convention even passively. I really couldn't handle watching more than a minute or 2 of the fascist party convention at a time.

I think people here forget that our issues with the DNC isn’t most peoples. A lot of people like the overly cheesy empathetic stuff and they we’re looking for something well presidential sounding from Biden and he delivered plus he isn’t the incumbent, everyone knows what trump sounds/acts like now and that’s what’s turned a lot of the moderates away and towards Biden. My guess is the numbers will continue to drop for the rnc show because it’s only gonna get dumber and more twisted. Dapper_Swindler fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Aug 25, 2020 |

I'm pretty sure most people's minds are made up now, but I spent a lot of time during the big speeches thinking "normal people will probably love this." Michelle saying that her children were wondering if they were being lied to about what America is was about was something I specifically remember feeling would really hit with your average squishy american. The RNC, as much of it as I watched, seemed scary and insane most of the time except for the two people whose speeches pretended the others didn't exist, while the DNC was boring until it hit notes like that. I was just surprised to see higher ratings, cause I saw waaay more engagement around it online. I do think that was because people were going "are you seeing this loving poo poo" instead of mostly just not really caring.

RNC is just going at 11 volume and content constantly and throwing poo poo at the wall for the chuds to eat and thats it.

That whole Circle of Fallen Candidates roundtable was pretty good in the long run too. It had quite a bit of good natured moments like the Booker/Bernie burn of "Why does my girlfriend like you more than me?" / "Because she's smarter than you." There is nothing about the RNC that I'd classify as good natured.
