Which puts an insane amount of undo pressure on her. She never asked to be their poster child female athlete. But she's so big now that trying to distance herself from them would cause backlash.

Your algorithm may be telling you that and maybe the Clay Travis douchebag's of the world post her clips, but I seriously doubt a bunch of "MAGA" are attending and/or watching a lot of women's basketball LOL.

I know it is a different party and different time and I think MJ backs Harris (although he could do more even Chuck could) but the whole "Republicans buy sneakers too" remark really really gave them orgasms. Pure insecurity squared. They wanted the same from the female Jordan.

Well, of course they aren't actually watching or giving money to the league. But they're HUGE fans nonetheless. linux's post should have read "the only reason they acknowledge the WNBA's existence other than to make the same tired jokes is..."

Nah. They only want you to be apolitical if you're a liberal. They want conservative athletes and entertainers to be God, guns, and anti-woke every time they open their mouths.

It's something I see from every Trumper. "Well Hillary/Biden/Harris whoever once got a parking ticket or something in 1988 so I have no choice but to vote for Trump."

It's fucking insane, obviously. 

And from the mainstream media: "Trump only has the concept of a plan after 8 years of empty promises, but Harris failed to cover how left-handed dentists in Muskogee will use exclusively right-handed drill bits in subsection B, paragraph 3 of her health care plan!"

Young women will save us: https://news.gallup.com/poll/649826/exploring-young-women-leftward-expansion.aspx

Record 40% of 18-29 year old women identity as Liberal politically.

Among 18-29 year old women:

74% say that we need stronger restrictions on guns

60% say that abortion should be legal in MOST or ALL circumstances 

80% believe that the US needs to be stronger on the environment.

78% say that the environment is more important then the economy

86% say that climate change is human made.

I would've thought that line would be higher.

The beautiful part of this Loomer situation is: 

1. If Trump keeps her around, it will be very bad for his campaign. Her rhetoric is horrific even by MAGA standards and I'm sure there is plenty of oppo if journalists are willing to dig. She is the ultimate flying monkey for a narcissist like Trump, so I can see him sticking with her. 

2. If Trump dumps Loomer, that is very risky as well. She is clearly a psychopath and a total wild card. She could air all his dirty laundry if she feels like she got fucked over. 

[Red Five 40455]

Gee, I wonder if/when it comes out that Trump is banging her, if he'll have to drop out a la Gary Hart. Probably. His base wouldn't stand for something like that.

You “seriously doubt it” because you yourself aren’t watching and paying attention. It was 100% clear maga hopped on the Clark train because “someone who looks and acts like us” was playing and it was the direct opposite of Angel Reese, who they hate because of certain things about her. You even had posters here saying “finally, someone I can relate to” and those posters were overwhelmingly far right/maga Surly posters. 

They aren’t watching a lot of basketball in general—they are just watching (and supporting) Clark.

I have a neighbor a couple of blocks over with a rock/cactus garden that comes right up to the sidewalk.  A few weeks ago they put up a big Trump flag a few feet from the sidewalk.

Every morning as I'm walking my dogs past their house I hock a loogie on the flag.  It's a good way to start the day.

No, they're not watching. But they're the ones saying it's bullshit that she wasn't on the Olympic team or that the woke LGBTQ community in the WNBA would never accept her or cut her any slack because she's white and (presumably) heterosexual.

I joined a bunch of Reddit conservative and Republican forums under a new user name. I wanted to see how these people are thinking now that the evidence is becoming overwhelming that Trump is unfit to be President. 

I’m happy to report that they are not as dumb as before. Unfortunately, they are dumber. For every single crazy thing he said, they’ve posted crazy news stories from propaganda websites that double down on the crazy. I’m sure many of those sources are North Korean, Russian and China sites. 

It depressing as hell that there are so many dumb people.

Nobody is going to believe anything Loomer says, even if it's about Trump.

Living in Tennessee I’ve obviously been living in Trump country. Last election people gave me shit for voting for Biden but this time is different. I’ve been shocked in the last few days how many of the people I would assume would vote Trump have told me fuck no. I was talking to a good friend and she said  her husband isn’t voting for Trump. I said I was kind of shocked since he owns a business and she replied that he also has a wife and a daughter. I thought that was an incredibly powerful response from her. Trump was bad enough but the cringe of Vance has really done it. 
 

This group has always gotten along and it’s been me and one other person that has went to the left the last 6 years against the other 8. We would always light heartedly give each other shit but we always knew to just not really talk about and have fun. Here lately, it’s almost like they are making a point to let me know what they are doing vote wise. Kind of cool to see honestly. It probably helps these are educated people.

For you and me, it's catnip. But Harris's restraint was INCREDIBLE.

She had the choice of chasing him down rabbit holes and firing up her converted, or staying focused on the topics she knew would appeal to the voters who she needs to drive to the polls (economy, reproductive rights, etc). It's so hard to maintain disciple but also seem fresh and unscripted. Masterclass.

My town has a city ordinance that states no campaign signs can be posted until 60 days prior to an election.  Back in 2020 on the first day signs could go up there were at least 15 dotard yard signs in my neighborhood.

Today?  Zero.  There is one house with a big ass Harris-Walz flag and that's it.
