They relate to Trumps fighting the biased legal system |

Agree. IMO, the left has gone too far left, and that's why the more socially conservative Dems are turning away, just as the right has gone extreme right, which lead to the #neverTrumpers and Lincoln project. Those who are socially conservative don't really think about foreign policy much. Dems have historically had weaker foreign policy, and focused more on internal issues. That's why Trump speaks so much to these Dems. He's an isolationist that wrapped in the MAGA flag. |

Not that complicated - we overspend. Lots of areas of bloat that I’d be fine with cutting. Our military for one has become a massive welfare program and full of contracting grift. But it’s politically toxic to do anything other than increase spending to them. On the left side, actual welfare programs have grown way too much. And now we’re also covering millions of destitute migrants. There is a saying that the more you subsidize something, the more you’ll get. To wit: increasing generational poverty and governmental dependence. |

I know, right? Lots of deplorables in this country who don't understand that actions have consequences. And mostly, we know what the problem is. Latinos and Blacks are very misogynist. They were ready to support a Black man for President, but not a non-white woman. |

Could you provide a citation for this? |

LOL. Trump doesn’t care about debt and how much do you think deporting millions will cost us? (Hint: The estimates are $1 TRILLION) “President Trump approved $8.4 trillion of new ten-year borrowing during his full term in office, or $4.8 trillion excluding the CARES Act and other COVID relief. President Biden, in his first three years and five months in office, approved $4.3 trillion of new ten-year borrowing, or $2.2 trillion excluding the American Rescue Plan.” |

MAGA doesn't care if the trillion in debt is used to help Americans. They just don't want the cause to be due to helping the others - foreigners and migrants. |

This response about the "patriarchy" is 100% why Dems are not going to win the election. Most Americans don't view everything as related to gender or race. Stop using language social justice warrior language, normal people don't talk like this. |

Do you have a link for that? |

This. People are pissed that they had no say and that the powers that be didn’t listen when we tried to tell them in 2020 that we don’t like her. Kamala didn’t win one vote when she ran for President in 2020 (dropped out before primaries and was polling at 1%. 1%!!! No one likes her.) Crowning her candidacy by backdoor behind-the-scenes elitist selection was really dumb. And then we’re supposed to swallow that the other party is the one that is a “threat to democracy?” Please. What is this if not an installed presidency? |

The issue is not among black females. It’s among black men who are realizing that there’s been no benefit to them in voting with a block that shames their masculinity as toxic. And they have a very difficult time with the fact that Kamala had no issue getting tough on crime when it involved locking up black men with harsh sentences for drug offenses but then publicly championed bailing out violent “protestors” who went around smashing up small businesses and burning down city blocks and looting. Where was her “look the other way” attitude then? And why is she also pro-immigrant when it comes to entering our country illegally. Yes there are exceptions for asylum seekers. But that would account for less than 15% of those crossing the border. They just can’t get behind her because she speaks out of both sides of her mouth. |

+1 She had to know and agree to cover. Even his cabinet is covering with little attempts to “gently remind him” of what’s next in a meeting. So awkward. And also it’s like watching the movie DAVE except for instead of having a body double play the role of President while the president is in a coma, they are just having Biden play himself and are “helping” him pretend to be all there. It would be very kind and sweet if he weren’t the president!!! Dementia is a general diagnosis that covers multiple different categories of cognitive decline. I voted for Biden, but he has telltale signs and he presents like a person living with Parkinson’s disease. They have him on some pretty good drugs, obviously. But you can’t hide it from those who see this daily in other people—it’s in his eyes and mouth. And even occasionally in his hand gestures. And in the way he slumps his head and shoulders inward. It’s not purposeful. It’s just symptoms. And if you notice, he doesn’t have a public evening schedule. I imagine the sundowning is extremely difficult to control. |

Dumb move. They can try to get out the vote, but all data shows that the older crowd are still the ones who make time to get to the polls. The young and woke are still too self absorbed for this. |

Don’t be silly. This was a huge leap and does not in any way account for “population growth.” 4 million additional people do not spontaneously show up to the polls due to population growth. They are inspired to action by a dynamic leader to get out the vote!! (What—do you not think this is a reasonable explanation for the huge Biden following that Obama lacked?) |
