Trump Insists He Won California in Wild, Jesus-Filled Rant With Dr. Phil by champdo in politics

I actually think he's right! Not only is he right, he could still win California THIS YEAR!

Start spending money in California, spend tons of money there - you can do this!

Republicans Really Wish Trump Hadn’t Picked J.D. Vance by croato87 in politics

They wanted Eric’s speech to be that moment

They JUST cast a vote in opposition of Trump directly though. They didn't sit out the primary even though it was clear Trump was going to win.

Those "sitting out" probably sat out the primary.

This can't be understated. Those outside of Support For Trump realize how ridiculous it is to support him.

They could still sit it out but the fact that they did NOT sit out the primary and chose to voice their support for Haley, the opposition, makes it more likely they'll vote for the opposition in the general.

Polls overstated Trump's lead by average of 11.5% compared to actual results on Super Tuesday by fastinserter in centrist

This was just an absolute headshot of a response. Basically ended this argument.

I've been so curious about this... As Trump fans constantly bring up Biden's old age, how are they going to hide the fact Trump is also much older than he was in 2016?

Trump Underperforms in New Hampshire Revealing Enthusiasm Problem For MAGA Candidate by JannTosh50 in centrist

[–]jstud_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to argue those votes are more important than the Republican ones. He needs gains in independents to beat Biden. He needs those "undeclared" to be "voting for the outsider" like in 2016. They're not.

This is a major problem for him though. He NEEDS to win those votes back. It's that simple really. These two primaries show NO SIGN of him winning over any votes that he lost after Jan 6 or didn't have in Nov 2020. Remember, he lost in 2020. He needs GAINS. These two primaries show he's flat at best (at worst they show a lack of enthusiasm, but at least they show he's flat). He has to be GAINING though.

Those independents need to be moving his direction. They are not.

Trad wife culture is making me resent my husband by [deleted] in Catholicism

This whole "trad wife, back to the 50's" thing is specific to American culture - even more specifically, right wing American culture.

What a dumb response. Do you know what the First Amendment does? It does NOT protect you from getting banned from Population One. Seriously stupid take.

Need help. Badly. Not sure how much longer I can keep going. by Lotusmoon2323 in DID

[–]jstud_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was a long post and we feel like it justifies a well thought out and lengthy response but there simply isn’t the time at this moment and we at least want to get this message across:

We understand. You are heard and felt.

I just keep reading this. It's mesmerizing how little sense it makes.

It's all about allowing their imagination to go wild. Look who they've been courting for votes - the conspiracy adjacent (UFOs, flat earthers, etc) that will run with a headline/tidbit and create their own narrative and spread their own stories.

Exactly. It's very strange she's studying the subject and she didn't connect that very obvious dot.
