The Possible Fallout To The Trump Base From The NY Fraud Settlement A Human is smart, but people are stupid. 500 years ago you knew that the world was flat. 50 years ago you knew that we were alone in the universe. Just imagine what you'll know tomorrow Agent K Men In Black As I was writing the previous article, out of nowhere I was reminded of one of my favorite old time adages, You can't rape the willing. Which almost innediately triggered another old favorite, Just how stupid can a person be?! Tjhose two thoughts planted the fertile seeds of an article in the barren ground of my fevered mind, and here we are.
From the time that he farted his way down that rattletrap escalator in Trump Tower to excoriate immigrants while he proudly announced his 2016 candidacy in front of a paid crowd of wanna be actors, Trump has treated his base supporters like f*cking morons. His claptrap racist populism was carefully designed to sing to the undereducated masses who had fallen out of the political system. And they responded like performing seals.
Trump was their Messiah. He said out loud into the microphones what they all wanted to say at work, or in the bar on Friday night. And while Traitor Tot touted his incredible wealthy, claiming that he didn't need big money donors to ru, because he was rich, the sheeple nevertheless donated money at a pace that kept his fortune intact. Trump rode that groundswell of undereducated, lower income, disgruntled voters to the White House in 2016.
But almost immediately, the wheels started falling off of the bus. In modern America, nobody believes politicians. They fall for the lines, but once elected they expect the politician to sutn into just another selfish, self centered politician.
But Traitor Tot turned out to be a horse of a different color. The silly sh*t actually tried to carry out the insane policies that the base thought was just rhetorical political bullsh*t. The first law that His Lowness signed gave congenital mental defectives the right to purchase semi automatic weapons. Then he tried to ban Muslims from entering the country. Then he started separating migrant parents from their children, and even toddlers and infants at the southern border. But don't blame Trump, he was only doing what he promised to do.
The backlash was immediate. In 2018 the Democrats flipped 40 seats in the House, and retook the chamber. But here's the critical thing to remember. It wasn't just disgruntled Democrats, Bernie Bros, and independents who showed up to slap his d*ck down, there were millions of non Trombie base Trump supporters who saw the writing on the wall. Trump wasn't just another politician, he was a nihilist. And they quickly tired of Trump's insane, perverse habit of governing by tweet.
Sponsored But that didn't deter El Pendejo Presidente. He declared a disastrous trade war with China, demolishing the coastal seafood industry, and started rolling back civil rights by violating the rights of peaceful protesters. The backlash returned, and he lost the 2020 election by some 8 million votes.
Here's my point. If you want to get a grip on the 2024 election, and Trump's chances, you have to learn the difference between Trump's hard core Trombie base, and the larger, softer base of Trump supporters who put him over the top in 2016. because that larger, softer base of Trump supporters have shown time and time again that they have lines in the sand that will turn them away.
Which brings us to now. Because while current polling shows that Trump's die hard base is loyal, that soft core is turning against him. Easy proof is the $50 million ad buy from Republicans Against Trump that ran an add of some 100 loyal 2016 and 2020 Trump supporters who will not vote for him again, and taped snippets saying why. After 72 hours, they were up to 120 videos. But the important thing is that the more Trump degenerates, the more soft core supporters will turn away from him. For the simple reason that because they may be rather silly, or vulnerable, and while they may fall for bullsh*t, they're not morons! And they've been proving that for six long years now, as they steadily jump ship from the SS Trumptanic.
From 2015 Trump has been marketing himself as a self made multibillionaire. So the simple question begs why should he be almost constantly mooching for supporters for funding for the campaign, and more recently for his legal defense fund against the deep state lawsuits and indictments? On a long, disjointed, rambling speech in Ohio on Saturday, Trautor Tot in two sentences proclaimed that the legal actions against him were first a communist conspiracy, and then a fascist conspiracy. Which is it, since the two ideologies are polar opposite? Remember the difference between rock solid Trombie supporters and soft core Trump supporters. Trump supporters are not locked into OAN, NewsMax and FUX News, they get news from other sources as well. And that gegs the question.
Trump's lawyers argued in court today, as was widely reported that Traitor Tot doesn't have the coin to come up with $455 million bond to appeal the NY civil fraud suit. The question is, Why not? Hell, the guys is worth $8 billion, with a self professed $450 million slush fund for emergencies. And if this isn't an emergency, then what the hell is? Non Trombie Trump supporters may be slow, but they've shown over and over again for three straight election cycles that they're not bone stupid. And even bone stupid voters with access to outside information can realize when they're getting their crank yanked. My prediction? As this NY civil fraud case winds its way to its inevitable conclusion, more soft Trump supporters are going to have that moment of clarity, and have a Come to Jesus moment.
