    Unless you’ve actually engaged a Trump cultist in an attempt to reason with them, you have no idea just how beyond redemption most of them are. It is one of the most befuddling experiences in my life.

    The reason I still do it is not for the person I'm speaking to necessarily, but the other people around that may be listening in silence to the conversation.  I'm desensitized enough to their drone like responses and stupidity so I'm able to keep an even keel emotionally (something I struggled with in the past) so I hope in some way I can influence someone who's around.

    I will never have a one on one conversation with a Trump voter again.  That's futile and infuriating.

  2. In a macro sense, does it even matter that Trump will produce more evidence for the prosecution at his press conference?  As I see it Smith and Willis already have him dead to rights and he and the coup plotters are more focused on a post-conviction strategy that is based primarily on winning or a stollen election.  As well as a hail mary play to get some MAGAts on the juries somehow such that the actual lawyering and evidence don't matter.

    In Trump's calculus, more media spotlight, lathering up the base electorally and insurrectionally, and assaulting confidence in our institutions is significantly more valuable than the downside of adding to Jack Smith's mountain of evidence.

    His attorneys are just whining because it makes an already impossible job harder but they have no ability to change the course that has long been charted.  They are there just to bill and try not go to jail...and place their early bets to become the next Prigozhin in emperor Trump's America.

  3. There's not any evidence, whether real or fabricated.  Him announcing he's going to have some great reveal on Newsmax a week from now is just so MAGA has talking points amongst their silo and so they feel good about dropping $2-10 into the grift bucket. Because for them the only words from that tweet that have any meaning are "evidence" and "stollen".

    They are too dumb for nuance or full sentences.

  4. This is obviously a good day, but part of my mind can't reconcile how many 2020 Trump/2023 No voters there are and that a whole lot of them, if not the overwhelming majority of them, are going to pull the lever for Trump in 2024.

    I guess if the GQP continues its assault on women's rights (of course they will) maybe there's a chance to flip some of them.

    Because they hate America 

    Someone should start a social media trend to call these people what they have become: foreigners

    I know that you have to hit the low benchmark of being born in this country to be an American but there is no American blood left in any of these people anymore.

    Where does trump find these lawyers ?

    As long as it's just saying dumb stuff on TV but can't put them in jail it's a pretty good bet on their part.  Look what a low level idiot caterer became in Putin's Russia.  Today's Russia is clearly Trump's vision for America.

  7. Why would the GQP let Trump pick MTG for VP?  She won't deliver Georgia nor increase turnout or excitement for any 2024 voter that Trump doesn't already have in the bag.

    Pence definitely helped win the 2016 election, probably by a understated factor.

    Of course a lot of people have now seen how toxic he is (or doubled down on how great he is) so it might not matter at all so it it's a vanity thing with no impact on voters.  That might be why she's gunning for it.

  8. I say this with conviction and not hyperbole.  I think the GQP would be happier with 8 hrs of gun "safety" and shooting training for school-aged kids instead of academic coursework.

    Furthing their assault on education and critical thinking which given their preference for minority rule is necessary.  Combined with their fetishization of guns.

    Their motto should be "Why think, just shoot"

  9. The gun freaks look like they are getting what they want.  The normalization of mass shootings.  The NRA PR machine doesn't even spin up after these shootings anymore.  They know they've won and they don't need damage control.  Sick.
