“So after saying that Joe Biden was perfectly fine and his age didn’t matter at all, and he runs circles around them at the White House. Now, all of a sudden, this memo basically goes out that says ‘Trump is now the oldest nominee in history.’ And it’s so incredibly ridiculous because they actually seem to believe that cutesy ridiculousness like that might work. I don’t think it’s going to work.”
But he is the oldest nominee.

So now that they are STUCK with their eggs all in one basket, they are attempting to gaslight us?
No matter what Republicans think, the FACTS are FACTS — Biden has had the most progressive, most worker friendly, most climate friendly most business friendly term in history. Everyone, everyone, has benefited. Are their problems? Sure. Nothing has ever been perfect (nor will be as long as people exist).
But compared to Trump and other Presidents, Biden has been incredible.

To Trump, all gay people are alike. All brown people are alike. Only whites are allowed to be different, to be unique.
And this translates to the news media as well. What Republicans say is fact driven, what Democrats say must be emotion driven. You see it with the media rarely saying Trump is a criminal. He is. You rarely see MSM say he was convicted of sexual assault. He was.
Instead you see attempts to argue both sides are the same.
They are not the same.

I’m disgusted with MSM because when they actually get facts correct they then toss in a Republican talking point as if it has equal weight. As if a fact and a lie balance. They do not.
We are bombarded with propaganda. The news has ceased to be the news and more stenographers for whatever the wackos say.
There is little to no fact checking. Americans are fed a stream of fiction that the “services” provide for free to the Republican Party.

As a result there are many Americans who actually believe there is carnage in Texas (there is not), that crime is rampant (it’s down from Trump), or that inflation is a nightmare (more nope).
This emotional, “news” has permeated everyone — it’s not just Republicans, it’s everyone (I’ve read the polls and it’s depressing).
Propaganda has the ability to change minds even when the facts say it is untrue. A lie can go around the world while the facts are still putting on shoes.

So now Trump and the Republicans are attempting to argue that Trump is just as energetic, just as smart and just as kind as Harris.
That we need to stop believing our eyes and start believing their lies.
What kind of insanity is this?
@feloneouscat
The only person tfg cares about is himself and whoever he can use.
@CinnamonGirlE @feloneouscat: That includes his kids.
@thedisasterautist @feloneouscat
Very sadly yes.
@feloneouscat it cult mentality at its worst.
@tgraph52 @feloneouscat Would like to see a speech baloon quote things they have said about TFG like "He is a Moron" - Kelly
@tgraph52 @feloneouscat
Prison, perhaps?

And this is from someone who thought Biden, at best, would be mediocre.
I was soooo wrong.
He assembled an incredible team. I expect that from Harris as well.
Trump has always had an old, backwards way of thinking about the US. To him, blacks are in ghettos in the inner cities, others are “Mexican” even if they’ve never been to Mexico. Others are Muslim even if they are agnostic. To him, we are just labels. Appearances. Cutouts.
We aren’t people.
