Negotiating with the Republican Party is like asking Lucy not to remove the football just when Charlie Brown is about to kick it.

[@hauntedshadowslegacy2826]

Interesting thing about that... In just *one* issue, Lucy didn't remove the football. Charlie accidentally missed, kicking and breaking her hand. All the times before that, she was just being a troll. All the times after that, she was a troll who'd learned her lesson.

I think a lot of it also has to do with how the GOP is in a state where they'll nominate anybody who can properly parrot Trump's bullshit, and the only people who can do that are either scam artists or lunatics, if not both at the same time. And given how profitable it is to be a politician and how easy it is to get a nomination from the GOP, every huckster willing lick Trump's ass on national TV is applying for nominations. And those who are parroting Trump sincerely rather than running a scam are typically deluded, bigoted, and often megalomaniacs.

Charges are recommended by a jury not by a DA. Trump was indicted because of randomly selected jurors not a politician or a party. Why don't Republicans understand their own legal system?

[@susanfanning9480]

As well as rump and his attorneys.

[@merlinoddog2197]

Oh most of them do, but they know their constituents do NOT.

[@paolovantassel1989]

Because their rhetoric and/or grift doesn't work if they say that Trump was indicted by a jury of total randos who were largely anonymous. And while the DA did in fact have a major hand in getting Trump indicted, the fact that a jury found Trump too suspicious makes it harder to the Republican thing where they sell their supporters a story as opposed to promising policies, in this case being that the legal system is aligned against Republicans, the same thing they did to "the mainstream media" that allowed Fox News to become as powerful as it is. It stokes their base's persecution complex, as well as allowing them to turn a complicated legal analysis into a short soundbite phrased like an action adventure story. The DA is a singular villain for them to fight, no matter how pointless it would be, and more important, hate with enough passion to vote in favor of Republicans, for the DA's job or others. And even if they have to admit later that a situation like this was more complicated than their ten second soundbite, the emotions and feelings they riled up in their voters will persist even if they have to consciously acknowledge reality. tl;dr: The GOP's strategy is to make their base emotional with bullshit, and those feelings will endure and cause people to vote for them, even if those feelings are later contradicted by facts.

[@greebj]

Yup. I studied EDRM back in the day (emotional direct response marketing) and so much of what Trump does in his donation emails is out of the emotion activation checklist

All you need to do is to realize what a fantastic Joe Biden has done in his first term to realize he needs a second term for the good of the country. Also, the fact that our allies trust him and respect him is HUGE!!!!

[@latha9002]

Agree 100%

[@thatjillgirl]

He has actually had a very successful term. It's ridiculous how many people--even Democrats--apparently struggle to call to mind any of his wins. His PR team needs some serious work.

[@rhondah1587]

@@thatjillgirl where the public usually hears about such things is from the media. That’s the problem. They aren’t covering the successes of President Biden, just the stupid age bs.

[@latha9002]

@@thatjillgirl so true. It’s frustrating that the media keeps up the bs about old age- Whe Biden has literally created a miracle! Just think where we were in early- mid 2020, a broken economy, a country at war with itself, being told to drink bleach and UV-irradiate ourselves…after months of COVID denial. Now, thanks to Biden- an awesome GDP, GREAT economy, hope 🙏🙏🙏

Temu's "Shop like a billionaire!" slogan is the exact message this society does not need to hear.

[@lynkissa]

It's also flat out untrue. Billionaires do not buy cheap low-quality crap from China. I have a co-worker who got a blouse from Temu and it suffered from the same quality issues as most online fast fashion shopping: looked all right but flimsy low-quality fabric that no one would give the time of day in a dressing room.
