He brands himself as “anti-covidism”, along with anti-wokism, anti-climatism, and anti-anything that the left is concerned about. So working on Covid would piss off the Right.
The Soros thing is unrelated to anything, but the name Soros drives Republicans insane, so it would also piss of the right.
Obviously same with Hindu.
The Soros thing is a bit like Q-Anon or evil Hillary Clinton, where a lot of Republicans are quite sure that George Soros is somehow using his money to manipulate and ruin the world.
It is probably the most popular conspiracy theory that has no details to it.
Uh-oh. Waiting for conservatives to buy more vegetables so they can shoot them with AR-15s because veggies are woke.
DeWine said he would follow the science which he did initially making some big moves such as shutting down The Arnold, putting in curfews and mask requirements. The Ohio GOP fought him every step of the way. Do not give the Ohio GOP any credit for anything other than the extra deaths that occurred due to their campaign against science with their voters and the weakening of and flipping DeWine’s position back to a business first damn the people GOP stance.
Fair enough. I could well be giving DeWine too little credit.
In the wtf category: RFK Jr tweeted the following:
Since the assassination of my father in 1968, candidates for president are provided Secret Service protection. But not me.
Typical turnaround time for pro forma protection requests from presidential candidates is 14-days. After 88-days of no response and after several follow-ups by our campaign, the Biden Administration just denied our request. Secretary Mayorkas: “I have determined that Secret Service protection for Robert F Kennedy Jr is not warranted at this time.”
Our campaign’s request included a 67-page report from the world’s leading protection firm, detailing unique and well established security and safety risks aside from commonplace death threats.
Now why is this such a fucked up tweet:
So he is literally using neo-Nazi numerology in a factually incorrect statement.
And yet, Trump was president for a whole 4 years. He’s pretty shitty at it if it were true.
Unless,… he WANTED Trump to be president in order to ruin the GOP! Five-D Chess, right there.
I’m sharing that because the following graphic caught my eye, after past speculation of just what proportion of the GOP’s voters might be members of the Trump cult:
Lean Trump. Is that with the fat cut out?
I think it’s the superhero version of Trump images that the cultists like to use in memes.
I continue to believe that RFK Jr. is mentally unsound and is being propped up by somebody with money, for what purpose I couldn’t say.
1/2 of Republicans or about 1/6 of Americans…which previously resulted in nearly 50% of the vote.
I wonder how many of those “Not open to Trump” are new to that group since the 2020 election. A 6% swing that even if they simply stay home or vote 3rd party would be a true landslide.
I am not sure where the enthusiasm for Trump will come from in 2024. How much overlap is the “Never Biden” group with the MAGA base? How much “Never Trump” is out there after Jan 6 and his ongoing legal issues.
I think my dad was probably in the Lean Trump group last time, but he has recently seem to come around a bit and I think is done with Trump.
I parsed the survey as targeting “voters who would likely vote Republican before adjusting for who exacly will be running on the D and R tickets”.
So that would be ~1/2 of R voters, or ~1/4 of all voters, assuming that we’re still essentially 50/50 split (or 48/48/4, if you factor in third parties).
AKA, “Deplorables.” Still rings true.
Cannot say she didn’t warn us.
but her e-mails…
Never forget…
I would be pretty happy to see Trump with a 38% ceiling in the general election.
That’s potentially a 42% ceiling, if the 25% “never Trump” Republicans opt to sit out the election. I suspect that some of them would actually end up voting for him anyway.
Thanks to the way the electoral college mechanic works with demographics…in the 2020 election, it was said the Dems had to win the popular vote by 5 points to win the E.C. I don’t know what that number is after reallocation of the electoral votes, or how a bunch of Republicans sitting out the election would distort that math.
I said previously, before DeSantis started having problems, that I preferred Trump to run because I thought he was less likely to win. I still think that…but I wouldn’t get my heart set on attending a Biden inauguration celebration yet.
