2024 GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump openly advocated police brutality when, during a campaign speech in Erie, Pennsylvania on Sunday, September 29, he called for "one really violent day" of policing. This "extraordinarily rough" approach, Trump promised, would dramatically reduce crime in maj...
Because Trump is firehosing. There’s too much bullshit and fascism, and it would consume any media outlet that reports on it, making the news media appear to be biased.
Look at the complaints from the debate, “Oh wahh, they fact-checked me but didn’t fact-check Harris!” and now CBS is saying they won’t fact-check the VP debate. They keep doing it because it works.
Trump is floundering. His poll numbers aren’t looking great, and his VP keeps fucking up campaign events, people are leaving his rallys on camera behind him, so Trump is just going to shout whatever bombastic bullshit comes to mind in the hopes that it will drown out the other stories. And it fucking works.
And if there weren’t already enough examples that our media are complicit in this clownshow, this puts it over the top for sure.
They’re not looking anywhere near as bad as they should. 44% for Trump and 48% for Harris doesn’t mean much when the states’ election infrastructure has been systematically compromised by Republicans and the election all depends on a few swing states. There’s still a good chance of Trump being the next President.
I agree with that. People need to vote like democracy is at stake.
Of note, those people who sit right behind the speaker and get to be on camera - those people are specifically selected to be there.
Even the people who have been chosen to be Trump’s backdrop are leaving early.
Wouldn’t say it totally works. Yeah some people vote for him but he’s literally only losing ground, Trump hasn’t actually made any political gain since his initial election, maybe Jan 6th and maybe getting shot at.
But other than that, he really only loses support at least from what I see in my swing state.
I hope you’re right.
