This has always boggled my mind. When working class whites say they support Trump because they feel like he'll blow up the system, I can at least see a certain kind of logic there. But for the reason you outline, I can't for the life of me understand wealthy conservatives backing Trump. My in-laws fall squarely into this category. There is no way that anyone could argue that life in America hasn't been very, very good to them for their entire adult lives. They have it better than probably 98% of people in the country, which means they have it better than probably 99.8% of people on Earth. They should want stability and status quo above all else. Yet not only do they support Trump, they're fucking PISSED at everyone and everything basically 24/7. I. Do. Not. Get it.

Brother?

I think they convince themselves that they worked hard for every penny they have and they didn't benefit from the system in any way.

The smart move would probably be Tim Scott or Byron Donalds. I wouldn't be totally shocked if his advisers convince him to go that route, but with Cheeto the smart money is always on the stupidest move possible. That's why I'm sticking with my prediction of MTG for Veep. 

He knows his audience, it won’t be a black or brown person.

Noem sending more SD National Guard troops to the border is another sign she knows that she’s potentially on the ticket.

I'm genuinely shocked that the uncharismatic loser DeSantis whom Trump was mocking for months is on his shortlist

It was pretty apparent to me that he just didn't care to get into his real feelings on the people horseface mentioned so he was like yeah, sure, they're all on the list, whatever. No reason to cause a fuss about it until he announces who it'll be. 

[Chuckie Finster 22,342]

To be clear, Trump didn’t reveal any VP shortlist. Laura Ingraham listed like ten names and then asked if they were all on Trump’s potential list, and he replied “they are.”

That Malaysian doofus Ian Cheong shockingly wrote a misleading tweet.

Yeah I get that, but the Rs sure do love wheeling out their handful of token "ethnic" members to show how diverse and inclusive they are. They may accurately reason that the base, while racist as fuck, are so loyal to Cheeto that they won't lose a single vote if they go with a black VP. I think they'd perceive the inroads with blacks would more than make it worth it. Though they'd definitely be scared shitless about being responsible for a second black president if Dotard dies in office.

Physical fitness?  I get all the other bullet points.  I don’t agree but I get it.  But the physical fitness?  Trump?  Him?  I mean yeah, I guess he invented a new dance I’ve never seen before but otherwise the doesn’t have a physical bone in his body.  

Which makes it even more awesome for him to put out a high top sneaker.  Pretty sure this fat fuck even plays tennis in cheap oxfords.  The sim is crashing hard.  I'm kind of a fan.

hate to tell you . . . and I really do hate to say this, because I abhor this type of cynicism in politics . . . but this is not going to be a positive election

I don't hate it. You can fret about it Frodo, but the Shire has to be scoured. Hit them where it hurts. People have been calling Democrats pussies for not hitting back and NOW you're upset?

What if they started hitting back when it was Reagan making deals with Iran to not release the hostages? Atwater might have regretted it on his deathbed, but he knew how politics worked.

You aren't voting for someone you're voting against that other person. It's not going to get better. Wimpy indies wring hands and wonder why we can't get along.

Here's what the Republicans are FOR

AND letting Russia do whatever they want 

You expect them to sell that or any of the other laundry list from hell of what they do want?

They haven't run FOR anything in years. Oh I suppose you can point to the amorphous Support the Troops/Police/arbitrary authority figure here trope but it's as empty as any of the other appeals to the working class. So, because they can't run on the wildly unpopular shit that they do want their only other option is to gin up anger and campaign negatively. The Democrats tried taking the high road and pointing out all the good stuff. That's nice but Newt is over there slinging shit at you. You might want to return fire. 

You're pining for a world that doesn't exist.

I don't understand how anyone, especially a woman could vote for the GOP. The GOP is getting closer to turning back the rights of women. Birth control, no fault divorces, even potentially the right for women to vote is or will be on the table.

The GOP officials have learned that some of their base often vote against their personal beliefs.

The last 3 have been infinitely better than the 4 that preceded them.  And the only time the U.S. has been a "laughing stock" was when dotard was POTUS.

Quote

 This is similar to the pattern found in Pew Research Center surveys over the past several years, which documented a decline in America’s global image during Donald Trump’s presidency and a rebound in ratings for the U.S. following the election of Joe Biden.

Quote

In middle-income nations in Latin America, Africa and Asia, Biden receives significantly higher marks than his predecessor. For instance, 44% of Brazilians have confidence in Biden, compared with 28% for Trump in 2019. And in some countries where Trump was relatively popular, ratings for Biden are higher. For example, 71% of Nigerians say they have confidence in Biden, up from 58% for Trump four years ago. And 64% of Indians give Biden positive marks, compared with the 56% voicing confidence for Trump in 2019.

I understand we all have our own thoughts on the direction of this country. I don’t think there’s much I can say to make you see my side of things. But the polls do suggest that I’m not alone in how I feel. That’s all I’m trying to say. I spent the majority of my young adulthood in the military, so I tend to look at things from that perspective. I think our country is less safe and less secure than it has been in a long time.
