We’ll never be able to reach the MAGA supporters at this point. From what I saw of them here in North Carolina — wearing shirts that say they love Mark Robinson — I don’t think any words we could say would help.
The ones on the fence, who I find strange anyway, are still reachable. They may be the salvation.
Gen. Kelly....as he expressed himself in his book, is quite mealy mouthed about Trump & fascism. 'Trump generally fits definition of fascism'....is weak.
It's now been year-after-year, month-after-month, week-after-week, and now day-after-day, the name of this subscription, THE WARNING, justifies itself. I wish with all my might for Fungus 45 to be irrelevant.
Sadly, it is the ONLY thing that drives them today. So, however, wherever, whenever they can get clicks, and thus revenue, is their true objective. For most, truth and honesty in reporting and actual journalism went out the window years ago. For the rest, the audience isn't big enough or have enough of a reach or algorithm amplification.
I keep posting this quote, but it's appropriate in these times:
"Outrage is the engine of our modern media economy"
Is anyone else bored by all the “shocking” trump news? It is a special combo of summer reruns and groundhogs day with extra bits of prurient scum added for the game of thrones crowd and non combat ai warriors. But our hands are tied, there is nothing we can do but listen until 11/5, entirely reasonable especially if you’ve lived as an American woman these last 40 years or so. I am so sick of all the nasty pricks in this country and the sisterhood that follows them. Present company excluded-
Yes, the man who sexually assaulted E Jean Carroll says "I will protect the women" and during the Arnold Palmer talk "....you know, I just love women!"....and talks about what makes a strong man (penis size). I'm hoping the silent majority of women (and men) rise up for a landslide victory. Trump is a global threat, a domestic threat, and a national embarrassment. Go Harris!
In addition to saving the country and probably the world, from fascist chaos and destruction, a great benefit of his defeat will be to see no more of the repulsive puke bag on television, read no more about him in newspapers and magazines, and above all, not hear his whiny, sing-song, voice attacking the brave, honest, and innocent, while praising the unworthy.
Another thought: whatever happened to the polling that suggested voters did not want either Biden or Chump? So Biden drops out and half of those so-called unhappy people are now okay with Chump? This is Bizarro World Crap because for months all of us heard about the unhappiness with both men.
From what I have read, there is a very large slice of men in the electorate who will never vote for a woman for President. It appears this voting bloc may be one reason Harris is not polling considerably higher.
It doesn't bode well for the future. Once it goes violent, it won't be okay for a good while, and there'll be so many sorry people. I wonder how we should have educated for that?
Sadly, perhaps tragically and maybe even fatally, it is slowly beginning to appear that many Americans feel more threatened and victimized by what they perceive as the cost of living than Trumps fascist and psychotic tendencies. For many it seems to boils down to , what does Trumps pathologies really have anything to do with me if I can’t afford ground beef, gas and whole milk. And this thinking is a crisis for the future of our country
Kelly was responsible for the child separation policy, that was cruel and has been widely criticized. His revelation of trump’s love for fascists is no surprise. Add it to the long list of disqualifications for observer anything more than a prison sentence. The MAGATs either do not know what fascism is, or worse , do not care.
The Right Wing and Maga media and Republican enablers of this traitorous man will sell their soul for him. Why? Because simply they want to keep the power and money flowing to them. Example: Elon Musk
Many times I have heard a very savvy experienced political operative posit that whoever the election is about looses. As far as I can tell, this election is about Donald Trump, and his manifest unfitness for the job of President of The United States. The belief in this appears to be coming from many quarters. Steve, would you care to comment?

Is money so important to the media that they have no journalistic responsibility? I guess so.

He called someone he’s supporting “fantastically attractive!” Imagine Harris saying that about (fill in blank) male candidate?
Yes, the double standards for these candidates is disgusting. Go Harris!!!

We don't hear enough about what the insane Trump rhetoric does to children :-(

Yes, the sexism and racism embedded in our culture, even unconsciously, are at play now :-(
Perhaps even more sadly the age range of men who will not vote for a woman found its highest level between 25-35.
Yes, I find the male youth vote, anti-women, to be shocking and discouraging.

Cannot believe she asked about a pardon but of course - clickbait.
