Like that non-cult members are responsible because of their "rhetoric". It was the CIA, it was Antifa, it was a false flag, it was lizard people... Gaslight harder, MAGAts. Fact is you reap what you sow.

Let's ask Gabby Giffords about "rhetoric." FOH with that noise.

Supposedly, Trump is rewriting his speech to call for unity within the country. He had a chance to take a step toward that goal by nominating a more distinguished VP choice, such as Doug Burgum. Instead, he nominates the millennial version of himself, only without all of the legal turmoil. This is going to be interesting. Trump likes to be the center of attention. JD Vance is no shrinking violet. I wonder what will happen the first time Vance overshadows him in some way. For the record, a hobby of mine is collecting and reading books about Ohio and Ohio authors. I didn’t even bother with “Hillbilly Elegy”.

I have a strong hunch Vance has skeletons in his closet beyond some choice quotes about Diaper Donnie. They're so used to MAGA making excuses for any and all of Trump's behavior I think they assumed it would extend to his VP. Cults generally don't do well with power sharing.

My sister and brother in law live in Middletown where Vance is from. Expect that mid-west poverty and the opioid crisis to be talked about. As to Vance himself, he's pretty much a suckup who said he would have done what Pence didn't on Jan 6. My suspicion is Trump chose him because he strokes Trump's ego.

Expect the opioid epidemic to be blamed on immigration & not doctors getting paid to hand them out like candy. Hell if you listen to Trump lately everything is about "immigration" which for Republicans is just a dog whistle for non-whites.

There are quite a few strong voices in the party, but like the Republicans they are hostage to corporate donors that control the party leadership & unlike them, no one is blindly dedicated to a single egomaniac. Fuck's sake, Moscow Mitch stacked the Supreme Court & kept Trump out of prison on multiple occasions yet the entire convention booed the guy off stage. Talk about eating their own. On the plus side, none of the Dems visited Epstein's island 70 (!) times, so that's nice.

I'm not interested in appealing to the extreme right. Fascism and Christian White Nationalism are ideologies to be defeated entirely. There's no negotiating to be done there. That sort of thing needs to be chased back under the rock it crawled out from, period. That aside, I think Newsome or Buttigieg would both be stronger candidates than Biden. Neither are perfect by any stretch, but they are both well spoken, mentally sound individuals with strong track records. More importantly, both have shown they have the balls to call Trump out on his nonstop torrent of spiteful bullshit. You may hate it but with someone like AOC as VP to energize the extremely disillusioned 18-30 voters, they'd very likely kick the shit out of Trump/Vance (assuming they don't implode on their own in the next few months, which seems entirely possible.)

The process of allowing for varrying view points in a primary then coming together to support the nominee in the general while pushing the nominee to allow concessions on issues important to you is FAR more healthy to a republic than kicking out anyone who may publicly disagree with the party leader Ask Adam Kinsinger and Liz Cheney. The #1 thing that worries me about Trump and the Project 2025 thing is having a government full of yes men instead of qualified experts that might publicly disagree with him. You and I both know damed well he doesn't accept anyone disagreeing with him. Imagine if during the pandemic he was allowed to fire Fauchi because Fauchi said using bleach isn't effective against covid. That's the future if Trump gets in and puts in Schedule F

Anyone not goose-stepping high enough is a liberal. They'll say it's overreacting and then double down & endorse it with the same breath. These are not fundamentally honest people. Once someone starts lying to themselves, lying to everyone else becomes routine. It's addict behavior only they're addicted, remarkably, to Donald Trump of all things. A delusional cult.
