but that piece is normalising Trump's insane behaviour far too much for me. Giving him credit for working hard and having great energy for a 78-year-old rather misses the point.
Hearing a lot of "yeah Trump's horrible but..." comments lately.
He's a nut job serial criminal whose former subordinates have either been sent to prison or stated that he's unfit for office.
"Own the libs".
He's a senile, narcissistic orange-faced clown with the logical reasoning and communication skills of a particularly stupid and petulant toddler.
Deep state.
He's stated he wants to end the constitution and tried to overthrow democracy by whipping up a mob of crazed cultists who only failed because they were too stupid to properly organise themselves. He would have extra powers next time.
Yebbut, Kamala is not a great public speaker.
I'll concede one thing, he is great at conning people. Why some of them keep going back for more, you'd have to ask them.
Honestly, I am staggered at the false equivalence.
Here's a nice example of one particular yebbut's incoherence being exposed. Ignore the rather hyperbolic headline.

play the games / hold the election as they say.
But I've noticed that there's more and more concern about what Trump will do if he loses. Is this just anxiety, or am I missing something? He's a dotard with a few armed nutjobs, not a general with the backing of the army and air force. There might be some low-level violence, especially if the count drags on for a few days, but I don't see any risk of general social unrest / 18 Brumaire 1799 / Santiago 1973. Or am I wrong? (And to be clear: *any* violence around an election is a disaster for a country that until 2020 had managed the peaceful transfer of power in every election since 1796.)
