And he’s going to make it worse.
Doubling down on the lie. Fuck sake.
Isn’t it at least quadrupling down on the lie at this point?
A rally at a place everybody hates him. Great plan!
I’m fascinated that he actually admitted the lie. I bet he got in trouble with the big boss man for NOT quadrupling down, because I feel like admitting you made it up takes one -uple off.
He might emulate the smartest guy around, and have a concept for a plan…
Probably imposing tariffs on countries that send immigrants to US.
Primarily, he knows he’s the on wrong side of every issue from most Americans.
Does he even know that? The dude doesn’t even know how to order donuts. He’s quickly moved into Ben Carson-levels of “I don’t know where I am or what’s happening.”
I think they do know that. They certainly believe that they have a hardcore of followers who agree with them (and they do), but they know lots of us oppose their vision. They just don’t think we should get a say.
We really should stop assuming these are just stupid people and see them for the threat that they are, which are fascists with an agenda to impose their views on the rest of us. If they get into power again, lots of people will be fucked. We dismiss that at our peril.
I completely agree, with the caveat that “stupid” and “threatening” aren’t mutually exclusive, and it’s anyone’s guess as to whether stupid or brilliant is worse. “Stupid” can work just fine if your candidates are both useful idiots.
This should be just great for the local economy that Vance, et al are ostensibly so concerned about.
I’ve read comments on another blog (Joe.My.God) that speculate Ohio swinging to Harris based on these abhorrent comments. I can only hope.
I hate this weird split optimism where I’m excited about Harris’ campaign, but am tense because nothing is assured.
I’m sure immigrants will still be blamed.
“But there wouldn’t be any bomb threats if it wasn’t for the immigrants making everyone so goshdarn mad all the time!!!”
A popular theme in American history… blame the new guys…
Especially if they’re not western Europeans.
