      I think that’s the point. He never cared. He never worked for this and never wanted it. He has been made into an icon by others and has become aware that his actions are not attached to consequences. Imagine you were playing fortnite but your character was invincible. You’d just be running up to people and doing obnoxious dance moves after awhile. That’s what has happened here.

          I want to make some sort of Poopster’s Billions joke, but nah that’s too crass. Also that would imply he actually had that much money.

      Honest question, do you actually think anyone who is willing to vote for the Toupee is intelligent enough to care what he does?

        It’s also turnout game that matter at single digit percentages. If it dissuades 1% of trump supporters from turning out that matters. Or if it increases dem turnout by 1% that also matters

        You not be reading the news much, but the Bible Belt seems totally cool with Nazi behavior. Less cool with people stringing them along about being a Nazi. Fucked up, yes. This is what’s happening in this country right now though.

          Please elaborate, are you saying it’s okay to be a Nazi because some people are already being okay with being Nazis?

            He’s saying it’s not going to change anything for anyone. The folks voting for Harris are voting for Harris whether they know he’s a Nazi or not. And the folks voting for Trump are voting for Trump whether he’s a Nazi or not. (And some of them because he’s a Nazi.)

        This is just one of thousands of rage bait and ‘trump bad’, ‘trump stupid’ articles. There is nothing of real substance other than to get anti-trumpers to click on the link.

        If you went to a more pro-trump site you would see very similar articles about Kamala and Biden

          When I look at the “pro Trump side” I see made up nonsense and impossible conspiracy theories. When I look at the anti Trump side I see videos of Trump talking.

            A pro Trump acquaintance claimed that Trump had been acquitted this week of his 34 felonies. I told him he should start reading better news sources. (The clearest evidence that that didn’t happen is the fact that Trump hasn’t said anything about it, because if it did, you’d never hear the end of it. )
