The Party that wins will go out and wreck shit? Sounds logical, and not at all like it came from a dementia-riddled brain.

Hes running out of tactics, so leaning into fearmongering should work on his constantly terrified base

I'm not even sure what he was trying to say. He says that democrats will overturn everything they did (which is very little honestly) and then segues into antifa being violent. Like I can agree with antifa doing something stupid but they'll do something violent regardless of the outcome. It was just like a weird stream of consciousness thing.

Telling like it is only works if what you say is coherent.

To his audience, his line of thinking doesn't need to be incoherent. He just needs to mention words strung together and the impression that his audience will get is that these things are irrevocably linked i.e. "democrats, win, violence, antifa".

Exactly, Trump's target audience communicates in grunts and often has parents related by both blood and marriage.

Fair point. Remember, these are the people who still believe Obama was a Muslim, Joe Arpaio was railroaded, and Trump is the only one who's telling them the truth.

I mean, the mental gymnastics they do to continue with their pro-Trump worldview are, quite frankly, astonishing. One of my mom's favorite lines is that "no matter what Trump does, it's never right". Which I agree with, but suffice to say our interpretation of that line is 180 degrees different. She's also fond of claiming that no President has ever made sacrifices like Trump has.

Well the Democrats lost pretty hard in 2016 and *didn't* wreck things, so it only stands to reason that if they won in 2018 that they *would* wreck things.

I mean, that's just math.

They threw batteries at a guy who was drafted for the phillies but chose not to play for them and go free agent instead. They DID boo Santa, but only because he was drunk. They're also famous for tipping busses both as a result of losses... and of wins.

Basically Philadelphia sports fans are the Irish soccer hooligans of US sports.

Lol. Sad thing is the people he's telling this to already believe it. He's saying it to evangelical christians who already believe that soon liberal atheist Satanists will be coming for them.

Trump is the president they have asked for an opportunist who would take advantage of their persecution complex to gain power.

Yes but it's because they are losing. And other reasons like the Anarchists that give antifa as a whole a bad name. To say they will be more violent if the democrats take both the house and Senate in November? Yeah that's not likely. They will probably calm down a bit.

Trump is using the fear of Antifa to keep the republicans in power as he knows a democrat controlled house and Senate will be bad for him personally.

Yes, Trump's logic doesn't really add up here. But Antifa are domestic terrorists.

Agreed.
