It really kinda is.

"Here's why we should be sympathetic to the ignorant people who choose to believe a serial liar that the sky is purple. Extend the olive branch to the violent militants!"

Hmmmm, no. After Jan 6th chuds don't get the benefit of the doubt any more. If you still support Trump after Jan 6th, you are a traitor to America, or at the very least indifferent to traitors of America, period fucking dot.

Think back to the pandemic. GOP voters would sooner give their lives to a virus, than live in a country that is not fascist.

The big thing is that the whole rust belt revolution of working class americans was shown to be incorrect very shortly after the election once all the election data came in. But it didn't stop every fucking leftist and center left publication from writing piece after piece breathlessly relaying it as truth.

So are we just assuming all the polls and betting markets and whatever are fake and he really doesn't have a chance? Because you guys are greatly overestimating the rationality of voters. The facts don't matter, the obviousness of how awful Trump is doesn't matter, all that matters is how some low information voters feel.

Lol. He lost once to Joe fucking Biden because enough people with brain cells to rub together realized hes a snake oil salesman. And most people were just voting for not Donald Trump.

You think the clowns from these ~1000 person polls are representative of the true voter base and not some dumb shit media campaign to prop up their lord and savior of media ratings?

What do you think his legions of gun-humping chuds are going to do if that happens? Say "aw shucks" and head home?

Oh they'll retaliate. But they'll lose.

So you want me to believe the American electorate is actually pretty rational or even intelligent but you yourself don't know how sample sizes work and think all the polling companies are in on a conspiracy. Alright then.

Reputable polls are accurate within the margin of error but theyre also only reflective of the time they were taken at. We wont know what that will look like until next year during the general election

He has a really strong chance of winning and anyone who says otherwise doesnt get how insane his base his. The "moderate" republicans have shown very little in the way of stopping him. Even if some are angry at him, they still bow to his feet.

Our biggest problem is getting enough people to vote. With people saying he doesnt have a chance, that just makes people not want to go out to vote cause they dont think he can win. That is fucking stupid. You are going to let that orange fuck win.

Not to mention these aren't really people who were just tired of being kicked and finally fought back, not when they were losing their damn minds over Obama being President. He absolutely tried to reach out to them.

If Trump was the brick that said "Are you listening now?", then what is Biden and the historical number of votes he got purely out of spite?

Charlottesville was when my sympathy died. That was when they declared themselves enemies of goodness and decency.

1/6? Those weren't Americans. Those were traitors. No different than any foreign nation who attacks us.

Anyone who makes it to the general can potentially win due to the Electiral College.

If it were based on popular vote Trump's chances would be very low. You'd need millions of former Biden voters to stay home.

Yeah but thing youre talking about isnt losing its cheating.

And not the gerrymandering kind of cheating we dont do anything about. The RICO kind of cheating that gets a lot of people thrown into jail immediately afterward.

Donald Trump is the only one stupid enough to still run on this garbage and thats only because hes fucked if he doesnt get presidential immunity (which is not a thing).

Why not? It is not as if the popular vote means anything. He barely lost last time. His voting base is still strong. All it takes is for the rest of us to be complacent and not vote, which looking at all the people thinking he cant win, means he is going to win.

Do you mean to tell me that faithless electors isn't legal? Isn't that how he won in 2016?

Trump's win in 2016 was a perfect storm of an unpopular opponent, a rabid base, Russian interference, and winning in just the right places.

From what I understand legally, Trump could run/can run.

Biden vs anyone in a debate for a second term would be a slaughter for the Dems.

With as many blunders as hes made, cognitive impairments, etc. I wouldnt be surprised if he doesnt have his own Mitch McConnell moment on debate night.

This is why I believe Republicans are going to be in the white house in 2024 and its going to get bad. Dems have nobody but AOC that can capture the audiences attention on a mass scale and aware of social platforms, trends.

But Trump has just as many blunders with his words as Biden. It only effects Biden more because democrats actually care what their man says. Republicans will agree with Trump when he says Wind power kills whales, or that Biden will lead us into world war two. No stupid thing he says will ever get them to question his sanity.

It's fine to question the cognitive abilities of Biden, but to act like Trump doesn't say insane stuff every time he opens his mouth? That's selective at best purposely dishonest at worst.

They're not even both-siders. They're just deflectors who will defend their cult leader no matter what. And since they don't have any mental fortitude they have to go "yeah, but biden lulz" because they can't formulate an actual coherent thought.

That's what years of self inflicted stupidity does to a person.
