you’ve got these potatoes with their TRUMP 2020 garage banners and their beachhead flags and their dumb armadas and there are still fucking mouthbreather pundits who think “shy trump voters” are a thing

Almost as ugly as the original.
It’s the same with the whole “silent majority” bullshit. They are not silent and they are not the majority but it makes them feel good to say it.

They are also not going to accept the results of the election if daddy loses.

What are they going to do?
Most MAGAs are cowards and flaunt weapons and the threat of using them to appear less weak, like most bullies.
They’ll use them if attacked of course, but are most of these pathetic creeps and weirdos really up for getting involved in a far right wing revolt? It’s not as if Biden is gay, a woman or black or will stand up for those groups in any substantial way.
The Trump Navy looks pretty fearsome.

That’s a good question I don’t have an answer for. What do you think they’re going to do? Quietly taking the L doesn’t seem to be an option.
It also annoys me when the potential for right wing violence gets downplayed, especially considering how much of it there has been in recent decades. The Oklahoma City bombing is still pretty fresh in my memory. There was a centrist white guy in the Oval Office then too.
There’s a pretty wide range of possibilities between domestic tranquility and open civil war. People are going to die as a direct result of the 2020 election. Maybe lots of them.
Of course they won’t. As much as we talk about Trump winning means the end of America, they think the same thing, and they’re not even wrong. It’s just that by “America” we mean the United States of America and its status as a constitutional republic, and they mean the racial hierarchy with white people at the top. They know they’re becoming a minority, or at least losing the majority, and
Their picture of the legitimacy of governance is predicated on maintaining that racial hierarchy, while we perceive the legitimacy of governance based on adherence to the constitution and our laws. Either side winning is necessarily going to subvert what the other side considers the lynch pin of America.

We agree they won’t accept the result if their Fuhrer loses - Trump has laid the groundwork for this for ages by telling everyone that the Dems will fix the election.
I don’t know what would happen either but expect more attacks on minorities, leading to more protests, leading to more attacks on protesters.
hey guys! Apparently the 1960s were just a figment of our collective imaginations!

Was he even even investigated once for anything? Maybe I’m forgetting.
Didn’t contest a charge of tax evasion, and resigned.
Obviously in a parallel universe where politicians caught red-handed resign.
I think I mentioned this before, but Dan Bongino tweets this every single day, going back years now.

Just because there are loud ones, doesn’t mean there aren’t also shy ones.

sure, but the theory is that there are tons of these because it’s somehow impossible to function in society if you overtly support trump, which is just obviously empirically false. There’s zero evidence that there is an army of shy trump voters, certainly no evidence that there are more of them than there are shy Biden voters (which, really, the only thing that would make this interesting is that delta between shy Rs and shy Ds)
Most Trump supporters enjoy railing against Hillary/Biden/Obama etc than having to play defense because youre in charge.
Fox News enjoyed their lives more when Obama was in charge.
For the hard-core Trump supporters, why does reality matter more post election than it does today? These people do not live in our world.
I agree there aren’t “tons” of them, but Trump got through on some razor thin margins. So even small numbers in certain places are significant.
The idea that there are more shy Rs than shy Ds comes (in certain places) from the fact that the polling in some states was quite different than the ultimate results. For example, IIRC, all polling had Hillary comfortably ahead in Wisconsin prior to election day, yet Trump pulled it out. Was that due to shy Rs? Maybe, maybe not, but it’s a plausible theory.
Right. Corruption here isn’t a perversion of laws. It’s perversion of the American racial hierarchy. Like, even when Democrats could legitimately win, they’re white men from the Confederacy. Obama completely upended that, and as such, he was a potent reminder of the coming loss of majority for white people.
