You know, as easy as it is to shit on this country, and believe me I do it daily, it’s worth fighting to save it. I truly believe that.
There are so many good people in America. It’s easy to forget that most people want no part of this bullshit. Everything they’re trying to do is wildly unpopular.
I am so fucking demoralized. I’m sad, angry and depressed. Caring so much is without question fucking up my mental health. But good people can’t disengage now.
Have they ever? I am struggling to think of a prominent Republican figure since Reagan that would generally be considered “charismatic”. Donnie Dumb Dumb is in the manner of a narcissist/used car salesman, but being a good bullshiter isn’t really charisma. Mitt is ok but his public persona is very wooden. McCain seemed to sell more of a gruff/tough/fighter image. W was chummy but ridiculed nonstop for stumbling all over his own words and generally struggling to convey a coherent thought.
Certainly none of these dudes could schmooze and work a crowd like Bill Clinton or Obama. Or even Joe really.
As I said before lots of suburban type votes and conservative women left him for Biden over covid and possibly the economy. There are a ton of voters that could come crawling back to trump. Pro life people who also dont like the racism.
at least we’re getting all the terrible news in late September. just enough time to come to conclusion with inevitable demise and not get our hopes crushed in November.
