The psychology of those Trump fundraising emails is something I will never understand.
What if instead of italics and font colors from dear leader, it was a Calvin and Hobbes strip with the dad insulting your loyalty for a made up reason?
Remember these people are dumbâŚI mean, they voted for trump.
The ones that donât donate probably gave all their money to a Nigerian prince.
Yeah but like the messages are insulting and petulant in tone. And you know, I can write a bunch of stuff like âwell theyâre authoritarians and they need approval from Daddyâ or whatever but just spinning these armchair theories doesnât get me any closer to understanding it. Like I tend to be a bit of a people-pleaser irl, I think itâs a bit of a character fault of mine, so I have some understanding of that. But the idea that I would give money to a group taking this tone with me in messages is unfathomable.
Doesnât seem so complicated. People see what happens to traitors. Theyâve cursed them themselves. And now the implication is theyâre the traitor. Shame works. Threats work. Fear is the fundamental thing. Fear works.
The Trump campaign has mastered the art of negging.
Youâre overthinking things. The people running these grifts are jackoffs who scam old people for a living. Bullying just comes naturally to them.
you are also overthinking it. they have an email marketing platform (something like qualtics), which purports to tailor communication to each subscriber out of 500 different templates based on engagement metrics. itâs relatively dumb logic, but if subs stop engaging, itâs just going to throw the kitchen sink at them. thatâs likely what is happening.
Copywriting 101 â More than sufficient to dupe his followers.
Bored at Mar-a-lago, wants to jump back inânot as kingmaker.
Of course heâll run. I mean was that ever a question?
I want to see him and DeSantis destroy each other. The debates will be epic!
Trump is indestructible in a debate format. He can have a stroke and shit himself up there and every MAGA dipshit will tell how he absolutely owned the opposition. The shitting himself was a 4D chess commentary or whatever idiocy they want to spew to justify their position.
This was true in 2016 against losers like Jeb! who were too attached to historic norms. Those are gone, and everyone knows it. Trump isnât a unicorn any longer. Anyone contending for the GOP nomination will have adjusted their strategy.
Trump is GTO for the MAGA base. There are no adjustments to be made that will allow the opponent to succeed. Trump canât be exploited.
This too.
I think his strategy is just âStrap on girdle, Snort Adderall, Donât stop talking, Declare victory regardless of outcomeâ so as usual the media will decide the winner
I think youâre underestimating how much the relatively educated/rich class of Republicans donât give a shit about Trump these days. Theyâd honestly prefer if he went away. Theyâre with Desantis all the way. The dumb rubes will fall in line.
