Remember, you have to be real sad and appalled if someone tries to get this guy though.
this is not who we are
CNN spends 8 years hyping this guy up as the final boss of america and someone shoots at him and suddenly they're all like "n-no pls no bully Drumpf ;-;"
Violence is never the solution!! We need open dialogue to heal as a nation.
Anyway, here's another $20 billion and military package for the Zionists.
Whats gonna happen is this is another in the long line of batshit rhethoric the media and em will sweep under the rug. There will be some bullshit on how he validates concerns about the border. There will be some indignant finger wagging about "this is not who we are".Then when another person most likely a republican will try to gun him down and mfs will be pikachu shocked that the guy who talks about" poisoning the blood" nazi shit has unhinged following. There will be more "this is not who we are" shit
Ah, another picture of Kamala with an infuriatingly smug look on her face
If she loses, we're going to get another couple of decades with newscasters insisting women simply can't win a Presidential race because of the effects of estrogen on turnout. Meanwhile, any consideration of the quality of the candidates - from Hillary to Tulsi to Palin to Bachman - will signal that you're a He-man Woman Hater.
Kamala is too focused on the genes of people in a different region of the world
he is such an opportunist fascist, he cranks up his rhetoric because he thinks this will give far-right (the weirdo 
kind) support.
not saying he isn't a monster, opportunist fascists can be just as dangerous as the type who believe in all they have to say.
He's also enabled by the liberal establishment and the Democratic Party. One of the reasons Trump says so many ridiculous things on immigration is because Harris' immigration policy is a copy paste of Trump 2016. She even fear mongers about how immigrants are bringing fentanyl into the country. So Trump feels that he has to go further right to differentiate himself from Harris. It's an interesting and disturbing dynamic.
Damn, this is a really good point that I hadn't considered. It's the perfect example of how chasing "centrist" votes can only lead to further rightward shift. You can't fascism your way out of fascism.
The enabler-abuser dynamic is one of those things that once you see it for the first time, you'll start seeing it everywhere. From personal to the political. And yes, it's the perfect example of how politics shift further rightward in times of crisis.
This is actually one of his few core, consistent beliefs. He has to believe in generic hierarchy because his genes are the best, and he's made comments to that effect for decades. It's only now that he's in politics that he's taking that belief structure to its logical conclusion
Literally the color card joke from family guy 10 years ago and yet the dems still have a pretty good chance of fucking this up.

Either Democrats win in a landslide, proving their steady march to the right is what American voters want.
Or they lose by a thin margin in a few midwestern states, proving that they've been stabbed in the back by Muslim voters and shouldn't bother catering to these unreachable die-hard Islamist constituents anyway.
Then Harris and Walz can go back to their respective states, where the national guard under their command will be ordered to plow any protest movement under its treads while swarms of liberal nerds go online to denounce the authoritarian leftist tankies for getting ground up in our gears of war.
Gad damn I wish I could argue with anything in this.

The current polling has Harris ahead by 1.5% in Michigan, which is about 2.5% Muslim residents by some counts. I could imagine that they will still heavily vote for her, but they'll get blamed for any loss regardless. Just imagine what liberals will think of them if a narrow Michigan victory gives Trump the election. We'll be hearing about it for the next fourty years.

I remember Bernie voters being blamed for 2016, despite outpolling their generic Obama voters in Hillary's favor.

The real joke is that Michigan is a safer Senate seat for Dems, despite being a coinflip for President. We can only guess at why.
On the flip side, if Dems beat expectations and go +3 or +5, it would be hilarious to see Ted Cruz and Rick Scott lose their Senate seats.
I know this melted ice cream looking mf ain't going on about genes. Only thing he's predisposed to is being as useful as a screendoor on a submarine.
