This is propaganda to get Dems to stay home. Every election since trump’s been around has had the same bullshit
I just commented this elsewhere, but I'll hijack this comment to post it again:
Do NOT let this information let you get complacent. He may be unpopular, but the idiots who love him WILL GET OFF THEIR ASSES TO VOTE. The only way to beat him is if everyone who hates him ALSO GETS OUT TO VOTE. Saying "oh nobody likes him, I don't need to go vote, he won't win anyway" is exactly how we got him the first two times and (partly) how he keeps getting more power
Yup, it’s the exact same propaganda trap that Hillary’s campaign fell prey to. Leading up to the vote with her and Trump, a large part of her campaign messaging had basically been “we’ve got this, he’s an idiot, he has no chance, he’s such an awful candidate.”
And then about a month before the election, there was a hard pivot when they realized they had lulled their voters into a false sense of security. The messaging suddenly changed from “we’ve got this” to “oh for the love of god, please go vote.” But it was too little, too late.
I think they seriously underestimated and still do just how many people actually swapped from Bernie to Trump.
its a smokescreen so when they rig the election again with Elon its because the dems didnt show up and not because votes were purged
No, they were stolen from the post office, it doesn't count as a purge if you can't prove that I ordered it do- I mean that it wasn't just a freak accident that nobody could possibly have predicted would happen in an important swing district.
