No need for personal attacks here, thanks.

Just kind of… lazy, actually.

That’s like saying the person ranting incoherently on a street corner wins the point because you walked away instead of addressing the accusation that you put radio tranceivers in their teeth.
It’s not a dialogue worth continuing, because the accuser is not a rational human being arguing in good faith and nobody else believes them anyway.

The problem with Trump and these selectively edited soundbites is that people do believe him. Enough people to propel his ass into the big chair in the most powerful country on the planet. He may have a lot in common with your conspiracy addled bum on the street corner rhetoric (and hygiene) wise, but that’s about it.
Bullshit; he can not win with just his base alone.
Yes, the GQP will try to cheat for him in any way they can. Hence the need to fight like hell, on multiple fronts.
You seem to have embraced defeatism; not here for it.

His cultists might, but no one who is persuadable believes Trump when he says ridiculous things like this. Trying to argue the point is a waste of time and effort.

Who are not the majority of Americans, or even of the electorate who actively vote.
Harris/Walz are taking that as the case, too. They are appealing to everyone who aren’t MAGA cultists. It’s still wild to me that so many people are worried about convincing a minority of the voting population, when that’s not how we win. We win by getting out the vote and listening to people’s actual struggles in the real world, not whatever weird white grievances that aren’t real coming out a MAGAland…

Yes, though I think mostly because slowly people are holding them accountable.
It really is outrageous and revolting how greedy and lazy handing of Trump’s, shall we say, “rhetorical theatrics,” is just sloppily edited for reality TV by people who really don’t care if it kills some of the viewers.

Very important, me thinks. Our news media has fucked up in the Trump years, and let’s hope that they are learning some important lessons from what they’ve helped unleash (and that we can turn back this tide of fascism). People need some actual reality on what’s happening with Trump and his movement. If this is to be the dying gasp of white supremacism and authoritarianism in America, the media has a role to play as that’s how we understand the world outside of our direct experiences…

No. This is patently false. If it were true, they would not be investing so much time, money and effort into voter suppression and election denying bullshit. They cannot win in a fair fight. They have already said they do not accept democracy. That’s really all we need to know. We can, and must utterly overwhelm them and chase them back into their slimy little holes.

Just the comparsion IS, in fact, a personal attack. Do better.

No, because that’s NOT the topic at hand.
Go start your own post if that’s what you wish to discuss.
Coming at members of the community with needless vitriol doesn’t make any point you may be attempting to make any more valid.
