It seems to me the Trump-Vance strategy is to get massive turnout of "the five Cs"

Cultists, Crazies, Conspiracists, Creeps, and Christofascists.

But I’m not convinced that’ll be enough for them to win. They’re a bunch of WEIRD, sick fucks and most Americans—most voters, and most people in general—are repulsed by this “very online” Nazi or Nazi-adjacent shit.

They don’t even realize how weird, creepy, and off-putting they are, because they only talk to each other. Guys like Vance, Musk, Don Jr., and the mush-brained 78-year old asshole himself are so up their own asses, high on their own supply of fascist memes and far-right conspiracy theories…they’ve all but completely lost touch with reality.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re every bit as dangerous as they’ve always been, and we should never underestimate the threat they pose, but man…they just seem increasingly pathetic on a number of levels, especially since Democrats have been reenergized and got on the counter-attack w/Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. The GOP really don’t know how to deal with them, so they’re just doubling down on being gross, creepy, and WEIRD far-right extremist bigots—how unoriginal.

We really can beat them.

I can't see how he's gained a single voter in recent weeks.
