Team Trump's strategy in the final stretch is to *checks notes* attack Dr. Fauci and get Giuliani arrested for downloading child porn in his pitiful attempt at framing Hunter Biden.

Sounds about right.

One thing I like about the USA is how trump is constantly trending upwards at any given time unless a scandal happens, then it gets reset a few points and starts climbing again. The American public seems to have the memory of a golden retriever, except if it's about bengazi, never forget.

Golden retriever is too generous. More like a goldfish.

What's the deal with his supporters?

Like if trump was my coworker or boss and I listened to him speak I'd be extremely skeptical of his ability to do a good job. He doesn't seem competent. At all. Who is it that looks at him and hears him speak and thinks "wow that guy sure knows his poo poo"?
It it some like mass hysteria dunning kruger kind of interaction?

I'm not trying to circlejerk and sniff our own farts here believe me I'm a loving moron but I at least have a baseline of competency when I get to know people.

This is a shitpost thread so shame on me for real posting but the answer is way more complex and insidious than "they're stupid racists". Which they are, but there's are deeper reasons that they are. They intuitively know that they're getting screwed over by life and the society they live in but they haven't been given the tools (and there's has been a terrifying amount wealth and power put it into denying them the tools) to accurately assess who's been loving them and why.

Ah gently caress it I can't be bothered writing all this out. Plenty of smarter people than me have already put up way better explanations for why we get demagogues.

I try to feel compassion for them whenever I can because when you see a bunch of Trump supporters you see a bunch of fat, old, ugly, miserable people, and I guarantee you they see exactly the same thing when they look in a mirror. The whole point of a two party system is to get you to focus your blame and anger at the other victims of the people who actually cause all of the damage.

It's even simpler than that: a lot of people will put up with suffering if you can convince them that the people they consider to be beneath them are suffering even harder. A lot of Trump's supporters are perfectly fine with loving THOSE (i.e., whatever persecuted minority class they despise) people over, and never stop to think for a moment that the same tools used to gently caress THOSE people over will eventually also be used against them (see also: the number of news stories of farmers/factory workers/people married to immigrants/people who believed coronavirus was a hoax/etc. who were all "I never thought THIS would happen to me under Trump"...many of whom have said they'd still vote for him again).

This is what happens when A) you're racist and you just play along because there's a figurehead that enables you, B) you think entirely based on emotion and pretense rather use any critical thinking skills whatsoever, and/or C) you're a certifiably insane, lead-poisoned, mush-brained homunculus of a person. The presidency is a pyramid scheme filled with grifters, klansmen, and absolute loving imbeciles in descending order.

Here's what a former president had to say on the matter:

LBJ posted:

If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

The rich are absolutely invested in making sure that people of different backgrounds and poorer economic circumstances stay at each other's throats as much as possible, so they don't realize just how badly they're getting hosed over.

Like imagine if Rudi actually had some child porn in his possession for more than the time it takes to call the police, instead going to the media and making a political affair out of it.

That has to be supremely illegal.

In Snow Crash the protagonist discovers that the ancient Sumerian language was a way to reprogram people's brains using an audible input stream.

I don't know how Trump got hold of this, but it's the only explanation I have for why his acolytes hear this slurred collection of random mouth sounds and interpret them as the words of the wisest, most eloquent, towering intellectual of our time.

I've always assumed we have two realities that are slightly seeping into one another. In ours, Trump is what we see, but in theirs, he's what they claim he is.
