Never Trumpers are the greatest mental gymnasts
No idea who the guy is, piece still feels written by very lefty hand (like a very righty hand is just as much biased), tbh while elaborated seems good old "why people on opposite political side are bad people" with no much further explanation on why they may have developed these mean feelings toward minorities, beside make a caricature out of them explaining that they see world like that just because generic tradition and fearIt's from Adam Serwer, a writer whose article, The Cruelty is The Point, about Trump supporters, I think hit the nail on the head.
Some other quotes that help explain it all:
"What I found was that Trump embodied his supporters’ most profound beliefs—combining an insistence that discriminatory policies were necessary with vehement denials that his policies would discriminate and absolute outrage that the question would even be asked."
"The specific dissonance of Trumpism—advocacy for discriminatory, even cruel, policies combined with vehement denials that such policies are racially motivated—provides the emotional core of its appeal. It is the most recent manifestation of a contradiction as old as the United States, a society founded by slaveholders on the principle that all men are created equal."
"For centuries, capital’s most potent wedge against labor in America has been the belief that it is better to be poor than to be equal to s."
"From a different vantage point, what Trump’s supporters refer to as political correctness is largely the result of marginalized communities gaining sufficient political power to project their prerogatives onto society at large. What a society finds offensive is not a function of fact or truth but of power. It is why unpunished murders of black Americans by agents of the state draw less outrage than black football players kneeling for the national anthem in protest against them."
"Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign, with its vows to enforce state violence against Mexican immigrants, Muslims, and black Americans, was built on a promise to enforce terms of the racial contract that Barack Obama had ostensibly neglected or violated by his presence. Trump’s administration, in carrying out an explicitly discriminatory agenda that valorizes cruelty, war crimes, and the entrenchment of white political power, represents a revitalized commitment to the racial contract."
No idea why an american rightwinger would want Trump again
I thought he was broke?How is that retard? Trump did nothing but line his pockets and fuck this country up. Was he just waiting until his second term to get off his fat ass and help regular Americans?
trump be like the most nationalistic president ever lolIf trump had his way he’d sell the US to Russia and pocket the proceeds
And his dipshit base would half heartedly support it

None of these would win anythingNot all that surprising, but they are both utter shit so they is just a poll asking which shit you prefer.
Dems shot themselves in the foot, again, by nominating Biden and Harris. Should have picked Gabbard or Chuck Hagel or Russell Honore. No idea if Honore would have accepted.

<Lmaoo>
Agreed. Supported Trump both times, but despite that poll, I think he’s the only Republican (of those that could actually win the nomination) that could lose. I mean, it was obvious the first time they ran against each other that Biden was terrible and not even with the program, yet people still voted for him in mass.The only person who could potentially lose against Biden/Harris is Trump.
it’s literally the worst play.
get someone else
It’s not about age so much as mental acuity. You would think Biden is 25 years older than Trump. He’s had traumatic brain injuries that are probably just as responsible for his decline as his age is.Goes to show that "Biden is too old" narrative was total bullshit, some Republicans would vote for Trumps corpse just to trigger the libs.
