This election really isn't about who can win it, but who can not manage to lose it. Seems like both parties are trying desperately to throw the election
has the advantage there because he can say the most clownish shit possible and his clown followers will honk along to it anyway. See the "eating pets" shit lately.
I really have no clue who's going to end up winning in November, I thought trump had a runaway victory after he got shot but Biden being ousted mixed it up. Trump's biggest mistake was agreeing to a Biden debate before he was locked in, of he hadn't done that he'd have it in the bag
See the "eating pets" shit lately.
Oh my god my fucking chud coworker was talking to the chef about that. At least when I said "i don't fucking care about any of that shit, even if it's true and people are eating cats or dogs or whatever that don't mean dick all to my life, things like my rent going up every damn year do" they both agreed
Honestly, I'm not so sure. Kamala has said some equally clownish shit, it just takes a bit more to realize how incredibly stupid it is

New great depression is upon us and neither party desires blame for governing during it

Shit. I think you're right.
Well, for a second there it seemed like the Democrats were trying to win. Then they pulled a "thats enough effort for this election cycle".
Isn't that the plot of a movie?
To 
's credit he didn't post cringe about dae le cat protection or offer to impregnate her, so there's that.
But he did bring up the pet thing on a nationally televised debate though. "They're eating the dogs, they're eating the cats!"
But his hate for Taylor Swift is pure, that's my point. It's unsullied by breeding fetishes unlike 
Oh shit I completely misread your comment lmao. I thought you meant in general and not directed at Taylor.
S'all good.
I mean according to some polls the Taylor Swift endorsement negatively effected Harris. I think she's been overexposed to pretty much everyone. And logically it makes sense. The vast majority of Taylor Swift's audience (young women) are voting for Harris anyways. The Democrats already have secured that demographic, they need to appeal to other groups of people to win. So I guess this isn't as bad as it seems for Trump.
In 2016, every celebrity in America begged the population to vote for Hillary. It didn't make a lick of difference.

Killary was so fucking unlikeable that she may have had a significantly worse showing and lost by even more votes without those endorsements.
Yeah that's my point. A lot of the die hard fans of said celebs are voting Democrat anyways. So these endorsements don't get them any more votes, they just serve to try energise the Democratic base. In fact, I'd even argue that such endorsements (by celebrities of Democrats or Republicans) can easily backfire by energising the opposition or putting off those on the fence.
Celebrity involvement in politics causes negative results in the UK too.
It's not the specific celebrity, it's celebrities in general. People do not want to get their political advice from celebs. They actually find it really offensive that they weigh in or try to use their status to influence people at all.
By contrast, I read somewhere that only the Jake Paul/Paul Logan chud ouroboros had a lower negative overall effect in surveys asking about celebrity endorsements than yet 's ratings remain roughly where they already were. The cult's that dedicated.
Yeah Musk's endorsement also makes sense as for why it would be a negative for Trump. The vast majority of Musk diehards (edgy young men) are voting Republican, the Republicans need to appeal to other groups of people to win. Same with regards to Swift's audience also already majority voting Democrat, and needing to appeal to other groups of people to win.

I know from personal experience and decades of living around Silicon Valley that a lot of E~L~O~N diehards are aging gen-x junior boomers that peaked in the 90s and still think South Park is amazing.
this is true in the midwest too, at least in the past 5 years, idk if they liked him early on
Some may have went further rightward when their "just joking about (slurs) why are you so thin skinned why aren't you laughing" frustrations got worse and worse.
Yeah man I'm sure a young woman is going to want to vote for the guy who took her reproductive health away. Yes, yes I know it's for Kamala, but tf does Trump offer to women who don't want the handmaid's tale?
Self-loathing is a hell of a drug, and white women like the superiority and privilege that comes with their status under white-supremacist patriarchal structures.
Temptations to be "the good one" for profit or adoration are a thing. 
I think they call those "pick-me"s now
Even "progressive" white women will have blind spots. They'll turn into the most rabid of fascists when it comes to foreign policy or have serious hang ups regarding LGBTQ+ people.
It'd be remiss, though, to ignore there being a good chance the leader of the white patriarchy will be a mixed woman of color. Isn't living in the rainbow Weimer Republic fun?
the leader
The President of the United States is probably just as ceremonial as Zaphod Beeblebrox at this point — to draw attention from the true rulers of the US. They seem to do great at that.
but tf does Trump offer to women who don't want the handmaid's tale
from experience... it's just culture war addicted fascists or plain old indoctrinated from birth religious conservatism
This post almost got Trump killed. So much for the tolerant left
"Old Man" Trump, who is broke now after having to pay for so many sexual harassment lawsuits, thinks he can help his awful poll numbers by tweeting about me. Sad! The only "Taylor" he should be worried about is one to fix his poorly cut suits. Let me know if you need a "loan" from a real star, Donald!
This is the most childish thing I ever saw online.
Trump's second would-be assassin confirmed Swiftie.
