I starting to think this might finally be his Katrina moment

[tinrobot]

It should have been the day he was elected, but I'm finally starting to sense a real shift.

We'll see...

1. Nope

I don't believe it for a second. Still much lower to go yet.

[hibbing]

11. Agree

Just another day and waiting for the next disgusting thing while his party remains silent.

Peace

2. Don't hold your breath.

I don't mean to be a party-pooper, but he will never change and his devoted cult members won't either.

3. I just saw a headline..where the Federalist doesn't want us to blame the pos....

The disgusting backers - at a disgusting organization that wants all the power - we must vote OUT everyone one of these bastards -

4. If "Katrina Moment" means "something that will get more non-Deplorables riled up,

yes. As other posters point out, nothing will dissuade the Deplorables -- except Trump acting like a Democrat or reversing course on white supremacy.

The net positive could be that more casual/occasional voters and Dem-leaning non-voters may get committed to dumping Trump. We shall see.

5. I have to say that since the Democrats in the House

put his racism on the record, the media in general has been calling him racist more often and the white supremacy discussion is now on in earnest.

That said you still have the Kelly O'Donnells with her pro-ReTHUG BS saying that the Democrats call him racist.

6. The deplorables are drinking beer and cleaning their guns.

The "War on Libruls" is just around the corner. They will drive their flag-adorned pickups around the town square, then go home to watch the action (FOX NEWS) on their 84" TV as deluded kids continue their fantasy carnage.


They love the imagery. They thrive on the hate. They live for grievance.

7. George W was re-elected after Katrina

It is historically difficult to defeat a sitting president. Trump may prove the exception. By a landslide. If there is no cheating. If no votes suppressed. No dirty tricks. Smears. Ugly accusations. Soundbites.

We need to always remember Trump as the most dangerous enemy the US has ever faced. We need to keep hammering home the dire threat to democracy. To decency. To the future of humankind.

8. No, he wasn't

Katrina happened in 2005. The election was in 2004.

9. Oops my bad

That whole time was a swirl of bad memories for me.

[BannonsLiver]

10. Same here!

For the record the election and Katrina were only about 9 months apart. I had sort of forgotten the two were that close.

13. It will be the same bullshit, week after week, until the day he leaves office. Nothing will change.

It's all part of the banality of evil- this expectation of some grand "comeuppance" for or reformation of the shameless asshole is just self-delusion.

14. I hope not. Bush was reelected after his Katrina moment. nt

[coti]

15. Katrina was Aug 2005 nt

[Autumn]

16. You are right. I was thinking Katrina was in 2004 but that was Ivan.

[cwydro]

17. Sorry, but I doubt it.

No way.

18. Pueto Rico was his Katrina

and his followers didn't care.
