He will somehow still be complaining that he wants to delay his own funeral repeated times from beyond the grave after he passes away.

There’s a form of secondary narcissism I’ve noticed in evangelicals and trump supporters. They see themselves as the supporter of a deity who is so comically important, powerful and wise that anything not done in the name of the deity is either pointless or evil. It just so happens that everything this supporter does is in service of the deity and thus inherits that importance. Trump’s failings don’t simply cause secondhand embarrassment of believing a con artist, it threatens to destroy the basis of the supporter being important.

An individual can fail and have to reckon with that. A distant figure is much easier to contextualize as unfairly persecuted and free of sin.

MOST Trump supporters identify as christian. It's kind of freaky to me that they're so invested in the cult of Trump now that what he says or does supersedes their own holy book and the God within it because it contradicts Trump's words and actions. That's actually scary to me that so many people are that easily manipulated. And that holy book says "“You shall have no other gods before me." but, like I said, TRUMP! now holds more power over them than God. e: You're no longer "christian" to them if you don't support Trump. "christian" means supporting Trump.

whats even wackier is, yeah, its a cult, of personality, whatever, but what cements it as being a problem is they ascribe exactly the same thinking to everyone, and *Know* that people who rationally think "Oh, Biden, well, "least worst" I guess, heh", are actually "omegacucks who feed biden their firstborn" or something equally insane, and that pardons whatever they do. thats why they are so dangerously out of touch with reality, that's also not helped by the far right echochamber they are plugged into 24/7.
The biggest issue is, there is no "safe middle ground". its completely polarised.

A ton of people think it's gonna be Biden versus Generic Republican™ and not a rematch against Trump. There's a lot of evidence that once the lines actually solidify and reality sets in the swing in the polling as the actual day of reckoning gets closer will be more realistic.

Polls have been wrong about the last three big elections, weren't they? Didn't Democrats handily walk away with tons of victories they weren't supposed to?

They should probably start polling people who don't have landlines, yeah?

People without landlines generally don’t answer calls from numbers they don’t recognize. At this point polling is hosed since it has to be opt in and no one cares but olds.

None of the polls have been right about anything political since 2016. Uh oh, Republicans are poised for a huge red wave. They lose, badly. Uh oh, more bad news for Democrats! They win in deep red states. It's all a horse race for the pollsters, and none of them are legitimate. Only look at current actual elections as the trend and where it might be on election day. If the news simply stated Biden and Democrats are locked in with no way Republicans to win any house, then no one would be watching. Someone quoting Hitler every night is the primary candidate in 2024. There is no horse race. Period.

It's gonna be interesting if Trump DOES actually run, he's stabbed everything he can in the back and committed a whole buncha treason, and losing case after case. If he gets re-elected, he's not going to be very good at what he does.

Most people who still have landline phones these days are old people, many of whom have had "answer the phone when it rings" drummed into their heads over decades, so they'll usually pick it up regardless of who's on the other end of the call.

The people who use a mobile phone instead of a landline tend to be more likely to screen their calls, and will typically let unknown callers go straight to voicemail; as a result, it's harder to poll younger/more tech-savvy people and get accurate results.
