Self fulfilling prophecy, kind of, since he pretty much discouraged his whole base from participating in mail-in voting. Suppressing your own vote? Genius.
    He's so smart, he outsmarted himself!

      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Etc etc etc. They need to keep their grift going beyond this election cycle and this is their attempt to do so.
        Here you go...

        MAGA world is really lost right now in this paranoid negative reality. It's hard for me to imagine it's a winning strategy.



        “There’s something striking about watching the far-right tying itself in knots and attacking Swift and [her boyfriend Travis] Kelce that demonstrates how badly the far-right media has alienated itself from most of society,” Charlie Warzel, a staff writer at The Atlantic who covers the intersection of politics, technology, and culture, told me Tuesday. “They’ve built out this alternate universe and reality of grievance and it feels like instead of using it to wage an effective culture war, they’re fully lost in it and can’t see that they’ve chosen as their primary enemy the person with the literal highest approval rating in American life right now.”


        This isn’t the first time it’s happened,” Warzel added. “The far-right is systematically alienating itself from many of the institutions and people that normal Americans frequent, like, and associate themselves with. And I don’t think they can see how exhausting and off-putting that is to people who don’t spend their days mainlining Fox News or on X.”

          This MAGA obsession with Taylor Swift is wild. I did not see that coming. These people are idiots.

            Is this really a thing or just a hot angle of the moment for news outlets?

              It's a thing among extreme right media right now. More mainstream news outlets are talking about it because it's bizarre and makes no sense to normal people.

                      It would be funny if, after Trump losing the election again, we can look back and point at this episode as the beginning of the end for this election cycle.

                          lol... there are a lot of beginnings of the end as far as Trump is concerned. He steps in a cow pie on the daily it seems, lately...

                            Yup. Probably hoping to draw some nutjob responses to draw attention to the craziness of the maga universe.

                              As predicted by everyone but fusnik, Biden starting to open a lead on Trump.

                              https://thehill.com/homenews/campaig...innipiac-poll/

                              President Biden has opened up a 6 point lead in a hypothetical head-to-head match-up with former President Trump, new polling shows, amid signs of a growing gender gap in support for the two party front-runners.

                              A new Quinnipiac University national poll found Biden with 50 percent support among registered voters, ahead of Trump’s 44 percent.

                              That’s a shift in the incumbent’s favor from December, when Quinnipiac found the same Biden-Trump hypothetical “too close to call,” with Biden at 47 percent support and Trump at 46 percent.

                              Biden also scored majority support among independents in the latest findings, with 52 percent support to Trump’s 40 percent.

                                A 40% among Independents seems unrealistic, never mind sustainable...
