LET’S MAKE IT INTO A MUSIC

@nichni Oh, indeed. He and Vance wouldn't be engaging in this orgy of hate speech directed against immigrants (and implicitly, against racial minorities) if they did not know that this plays very well in Peoria. The problem is far larger than Trump/Vance. It's a large swathe of Americans for whom fascism is the desired, dreamed of future. Trump/Vance are simply their faces in the mirror.

@RonSupportsYou Biden's verbal gaffes have long been a secret in Beltway journalistic and political circles. There's a world of difference between misspeaking and pouring out torrents of demented nonsense.

@wdlindsy watch what happens if Trump wins. His age and mental stability which the MSM has been ignoring, will come into focus now that there is a young and sufficiently evil VP (Vance) who can take the helm and deliver the fascism that the billionaires so badly want.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Runyan50 Absolutely. I spent over a decade watching my mother descend into dementia, with a good portion of those years involving my providing care for her at home 24-7. I see in Trump exactly the process I saw as my mother reached the point of no longer being able to distinguish night from day and truth from fiction — the point at which I had to intervene and take her to live with me so that I could take care of her.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@PhoenixGee Yes, those are very good points. They make eminent sense to me. Apropos Trump's being a figurehead: I live a block from a very wealthy Republican woman whose deceased husband was from an extremely rich and prominent New York Republican family with branches in a number of places. The last two elections, she had Trump signs in front of her house. This year, I see none. I think she is ashamed to tell the world she will vote for Trump. But for people like her, the figurehead is needed.

@GreenFire What a piece of work that woman is. She's so hungry for preferment she's practically wearing a big bibb to catch the drool.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@FrankNation Indeed.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Burnt_Veggies Yes, and then standing to watch their reaction!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Runyan50 I agree.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Runyan50 Let's hope.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Runyan50 So it seems.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@AbramKedge Touché. What a great wry suggestion.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Tharpa I'd be afraid to be near her, for sure. Who knows when she might be packing and suddenlly spot a dog?

[ronsupportsyou@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy Among the many millions of people who were shocked by Biden's bizarre comments and dazed appearance during his debate was Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. Biden had one week of debate prep, and he made so many people who hoped for his success ashamed of him. If Biden was the candidate today, Trump would be the president next year. When Biden stepped aside, money and volunteers for Kamala Harris poured into her campaign. Now we have a good chance of winning the presidential election.

[tharpa@hear-me.social]

@wdlindsy I thought she was going to whip out a gun and shoot Trump in the face last night, and wouldn't blame her if she did, she was mortified at Trump's demented shenanigans.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@callisto Yes, as if we don't have eyes to see who and what he is!

[phoenixgee@soc.k512.studio]

@wdlindsy I've noticed similar here in rural GA. The number of openly displayed T3p signs has decreased quite a bit, sadly. Those signs -and unfortunately the American Flag - are the new indicator for 'bad neighborhood'.

I don't think they vote less for Shitler, but they know full well that showing this openly is not a good thing. That tells volumes about their character...

[burnt_veggies@mstdn.social]

@wdlindsy Obviously, neither he nor anyone in his audience understands what that song is actually about.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@geonz Indeed.
