You know, while some bent people want to use the ennui before the 2024 campaign is properly underway to suggest that the current actually extremely effective president isn't very well liked or is really fucking old or whatever, there's been some trepidation, I think, in acknowledging that the guy who lost the popular vote twice and was impeached twice in his ONE term of office is actually not that popular himself and is also facing 91 felony counts in four separate indictments, with possibly more to come might not be popular. (The above picture is from a minute ago in Iowa, but the same thing happened in 2019, as well. Whoops--folks do hate him! For a while now!)
That shit is so wild to me--how is it happening? People are marveling in column inches that they get paid to fill about how and why Biden is just not moving that applause meter needle, and they sort of fuck up the obvious thing where these polls aren't a measure of the important voices of the people--so much as feedback on what the media is telling them, and if the public gets basic shit like whether the direction inflation is going is wrong: well shit, motherfuckers, are you telling these people the truth or what?
Because who the fuck was supposed to inform them?
Right wingers get away with shit like pretending 1/6 folks weren't armed because people let them get away with it on the tv. People in the media let them get away with the horrific "post-birth abortion" lie for some idiotic reason as well. Why aren't they immediately slapped with, no, that's infanticide, and late term abortions are rare and mean something went horrifically wrong with the pregnancy?
This isn't a partisan thing--it's just telling the truth.
It's just telling the truth to note that most not especially Trump-pilled people would like to see Trump trials before the election to get the matter of his guilt properly sorted. The "speedy trial" argument for Trump makes the most sense if the man wants to clear his good name, after all.
But I think clear-minded people can see he wants anything but his day in court, and is also really pathetic while he's bemoaning the fate he got himself into. He's lost billions, people. Some of it other people's money he's sank into defending his ass. And of course, the amount the NY AG shaved off by realizing he's a huge fraud.
It makes me wonder how bad things will get if Jack Smith puts an end to his campaign fundraising frauds, and he can't pay for favorable polling anymore. (Nothing is ever new in TrumpWorld.)
It really feels like the media are the last people to understand the degree to which Trump is their creation, their Frankenstein monster. Why aren't we talking about how the thing they made has wrecked their village? The silence about that is so entirely damning.
