Is it me, or is there less vigor from the right when it comes to this election?

2020 seemed like it was a truck or boat parade, or "I love my big orange gorilla and want to wear all my MAGA poo poo"/MAGA pride rally every week, whereas this feels more :effort:.

I do wonder how many super gung ho trump supporters died of covid as a result of all their performative rejecting of any safety measure or very real rejection of vaccines. Lotta 60 year old guys who looked like a laundry list of risk factors who were showing up at those events

Most of that stuff is still out there, but they're not doing anything new, so no new content. Donnie isn't making as many appearances, so very little new content there. And when Donnie creates the new content, it's dumb poo poo (eating cats / dogs / pets / in / springfield) that even the chuddiest of chuds know not to repeat in polite-ish company.

Also, twitter becoming a fart-huffing tent drove a lot of media-types off it, or they're less credulous of the chuddy stunts. Like how they generally found out the facts on the Springfield thing in about 12 hours, mostly because NYT et al had done human interest stories on it a week back. Donnie and his band of chud fans have lost the ability to shock except for very small windows.

Also helps that Donnie lost his juice, so he can't come up with "my beautiful, beautiful boaters" again.

Mmmmm

I have a coworker who insists that the eating the pets thing is real and there’s “enough videos proving it” and did not like when I pointed out that it’s a racist bait against Haitians. He’s an older “don’t trust the media,
/ do your own research” type and I’m mildly disappointed to have to work with him.

Maybe? Hopefully? Such an unpredictable election risky to jump to conclusions but yeah they do seem more adrift. Seems like it did really mess up trump that Biden left the race & his campaign is having trouble pivoting & guessing he barely cared about Harris beforehand so has trouble retaining interest.

Also their institutional rot may be catching up with them as state parties starved for funds & overrun by lovely trump wannabes who have his abrasiveness but not speaking skill or resources so just leads to infighting.

The antivaxxer garbage caused the reactionary upper middle class to get culled in a highly targeted way I don't think has any historical equivalent. All the surviving trumpers are now 4 years older, and young ones that would replace the older ones are incoherent 4/8/wizard channer nazis, as likely to take a shot at them as vote for them. Enough of them have also been arrested by feds that they no longer think they're invulnerable (Fash are cowards but thinking you are immune to consequences is a powerful substitute for bravery). People like JD Vance are the future of the party, lol.

Secondly, and even the right complained about this among themselves, Trump is an exhausting dude. He's an evil genie that takes and takes even if you're nominally on his 'side', especially when one's only wish is for the libs to get owned in a funny way that turns them into triggered crying soyjaks. The american right has, thankfully, shot enough of its energy that its no longer 'inevitable', especially when the DNC finally got the brainwave to stop running a half-corpse against him.

Also Republicans:

quote:

While speaking to reporters in Los Angeles on Friday, the former president and current Republican nominee threatened to deport the Haitians in Springfield, despite the majority of them being in the U.S. legally.
“We will do large deportations from Springfield, Ohio, large deportations. We’re going to get these people out. We’re bringing them back to Venezuela,” he said. It’s unclear if he meant to say Venezuela.

We recently had 30+% vote for actual Neonazis in two state elections in Deutschbagistan, I'm not sure we can call it an Overton window anymore.

Yep, part of Donnie's plan is internment/processing camps run by the military in random locations. Stephen Miller was also talking about accelerating denaturalization programs as well.

They're not being shy about any of it.
