Dems are going to have a panic attack the next time the gop runs someone who isn't an absolute human dumpster fire and embarrassment to even hesitatingly voice support for in public and a republican version of Kamala-replacing-Biden happens. On the other hand, lol republicans sure seem stuck with Trump until he finally keels over

Yeah but do they have any of those? The never-trumpers either got dumpstered or converted. "Trump but smart' ignores what makes trump successful. They don't want a cynical mastermind, they want a chutzpah driven evil circus ring master. Under 45 conservatives are probably exclusively grotesque channer nazis.

A bunch of people who aren't viable now will be viable without Trump taking up 90% of the air. Much like how the dem bench was ostensibly very shallow until suddenly Biden was gone and actually it turns out there are a number of people who are at least plausibly in the running.

idk how it will actually go because the republican deal for a while has been to trade centrists for the right fringe (which has been compounded by electoral dynamics in red states and gerrymandering leading to the bigger threat being getting primaried than actually losing the election), but my core point is that R enthusiasm is very suppressed because of Trump and that will almost inevitably rebound

For a while, I've thought that Donnie has forgotten what rallies are actually for. It's started and ended lately with "make my feefees better with my bigly crowds".

Rallies are a great place to recruit volunteers, so naturally he's outsourced that to SuperPACs. They're a great place to drive a message in a local media market, so naturally it's Hannibal Lecter and rants about flies and not getting owned. They're tangentially related to campaign fundraising, so naturally there are a gazillion vendors selling merch that doesn't go to the campaign.

They're a great place to raise awareness of downballot races, so naturally his openings acts are Roger The Creepy Podcaster instead of a local rep. And if it is a local pol, naturally he tries to give them the hook after they talk for too long (lol Kari Lake). And Roger The Creepy Podcaster isn't exactly breaking into normal people's social media feeds with GOTV messages, it's all race pseudoscience and selling their own podcast-branded calipers.

Like look at the fuckin background here: https://x.com/KamalaHQ/status/1840490038347386886?t=oviX2hXlxdniFiOmGsy5fA&s=19

Rally attendees already will vote for the person, as they're really just for the sickos. The people in the candidate background shot are the sickoest of the sickos. And these people are leaving early? Are they going to knock on doors, make calls, and do the blocking and tackling poo poo?

He just likes the attention and decided gently caress everything else, which isn't exactly great for pushing turnout!

Also a K-12 catholic school kid, and maybe my school/parish was more reformed, but people who cared about this kind of poo poo were considered a bit out there during my time (80s-90s). Like, we still went to church during school for the major saint holiday things, but nobody even brought up who the saint of the day was on a regular basis.

There was one family that was WAY into old school Catholicism who I'm sure are all into 2024 tradcath poo poo now, and back then we used to sneak their kids music and magazines. I'm fairly certain at least one of them stopped talking to mom and dad.

Having said that, I'm sure it's much more mainstream now, because pretty much all of my moderate/lefty genx peers are no longer observant, so the people left filling the pews are going to be the hard core fundamentalist types.

Yup. Ordinarily they're right, that poo poo's just for online political sickos. The catch is that Donnie is an online political sicko and these stupid KamalaHQ tweets basically led to Donnie melting down during the debate.

They're eating the cats/dogs in Springfield came after she told everyone to go to a trump rally and watch the people leave early!

I just saw a suggestion that, at this point, the rallies may just be an opportunity for him to show how far gone he is for when it comes to trial time.

Can't remember where I saw it but someone did a good explainer that rallies are normally used as a good way to fire up a base and get volunteers for gotv ops, as well as give a spotlight to down ticket candidates. The presidential/vp candidate is basically there to draw people in, and hopefully the campaign leaves the rally with new volunteers signed up for gotv ops, donations, and down ballot candidates getting a bump.

Donny isn't really doing that. He's basically just using the rallies to make himself feel better. GOTV ops have all basically been contracted to third parties like Charlie Kirk's grifting outfit, and down ballot candidates are barely there if at all. And if they do show up, they're usually rushed off the stage so Trump can spew verbal diarrhea for 90 minutes.

in what part of my question did I group the kink community in with the Catholic church being full of pedophiles? I'm asking if that's an imagery theme, not "is that an imagery theme and also the kink community is like the Catholic church".

edit: sorry if that comes off aggro, but as a fellow who spent the last few years telling people to stop using 'cuck' as a perjorative because if that's what a couple is in to and enjoy as consenting adults then that's rad and good for them...I don't know what my point is, but I wasn't grouping the kinksters with the Catholics. just wanted to know about imagery themes because I avoided religion my entire life
