The racism has always the #1 draw for Trump since day one when he promised to build a big wall to keep out the Mexican rapists. His best play is to talk about that nonstop.

This, I think enough people see the trans stuff as not really an issue and punching down, but are fine with hating brown and black people (much easier to convince them that illegals are stealing their job and going on a murder/rape spree).

Here in WI every other political commercial is anti trans or anti immigrant. It is gross and I am sure is effective to some voters. These same voters probably dont even know anyone who is trans or undocumented.

The closer we get to the election, the more I hate the electoral college.

I think it depends who you guys are calling anti-trans. Iâm pretty sure my views would be labels âanti-transâ by at least a minority of this site but:
(1) I would never consider voting for Trump
(2) those anti-trans Trump ads make me sick. Putting people on the screen whoâs only âcrimeâ is looking different / wearing clothes of the âwrongâ gender and implying that itâs somehow bad for Harris to simply stand next to them or treat them as human beings is disgusting.
I hope you all are right, because all the reporting Iâve hear has said that the Trump campaignâs largest ad expenditure so far (north of $60M) has been exactly the ugly anti-trans stuff that you guys think wonât move the needle.
Youâre not a real man if you arenât flushing these modern librul toilets at least 12 times.
The last point is the key one. Probably a lot of smart people in the group that just want a tax cut for themselves
Remove that group and the rest are mostly idiots. Especially those who want tax cuts for others (i.e. the billionaires so it can trickle down to all of us)
Yep and he constructed about 1% of the amount he said he would so I guess weâll have to keep the Trump Dynasty in power for the next few hundred years to make sure it gets completed.
I think, and I am not exaggerating, that literally every pro-Trump ad Iâve heard in the last month has been anti-trans and/or anti-immigrant. Maybe 95% true for anti Sherrod Brown ads. (Iâm in Ohio obviously.)
Itâs repulsive. (And probably effective.)

Itâs just so depressing that something like trans-rights etc. is any kind of a factor in a Presidential election. Weâve got a big country, a lot of issues, but this is like saying nose-jobs or boob enhancements should be the pressing issues of our times. I guess âdonât sweat the small stuffâ is just not a thing in this country.

Provoking fear, stoking the hate that follows, and exploiting the result for power has been an effective strategy for a looooong time.
Yeah all I see in Texas is anti trans stuff.
Same here. Have not seen a single Trump ad that isnât fear/hate mongering about trans people and immigrants/non-whites.
He does not have a single ad with a positive message.
I know negative ads are as old as time, but it really is mind boggling how Trump doesnât offer a single positive thing. Never says how heâs going to actually help people. Itâs all about stoking fear. Always. Everything about him - ads, speeches, social media posts, demeanor - is negative. No plans, just yelling, wheezing, and sharting.

Hereâs the thing though, are we just talking about when a candidate has a real platform promising anti-trans legislation (bathroom bills, crotch inspections for girlsâ sports, making em all wear pink triangles or something, etc.)? Or just that whole âhey this guy thinks theyâre freaks too! Weâre the same, I should vote for himâ thing? Because I think with Trump itâs obviously the latter.

Trump has seven days to take steps to block the disclosure.
Chutkan said Trumpâs lawyers identified âno specific substantive objections to particular proposed redactionsâ and âblanket objections to further unsealing are without merit.â

Mixed feelings. I really donât think this gets anybody to refrain from voting for him, and it incites the crazies.
