The most amazing thing is that they are still rolling with the same inane tactics after getting destroyed in the election. Do they honestly think it is going with this nonsense is suddenly going to work after failing miserably and leading the vast majority of independents getting red pilled because of it?
What does "after getting destroyed in the election" mean?
Trump won by basically the same EC margin as Biden did in 2020. Biden won by 7 million more votes. Trump won by 2 million more votes.
The election was swung by about 500,000 (100k in Michigan, Penn, Georgia) votes in swing states.
Obama beat McCain 365-173 and by 10 million popular votes in 2008. Obama won Michigan by 17 points, Wisconsin by 14 points, Penn by 10 points.
That's getting "destroyed." Trump won those states by 1-1.5 points each...
That didn't change Republican messaging... neither did 2012... it just made the messaging louder, more racist, more hateful, and they put Orange boy on the ticket to be their megaphone. A small section of people in swing states bought into that messaging and it swung the elections in both 2016 and 2024.
You're acting like Trump won crucial swing states by 10 point margins and had an Obama-level popular vote win. It was nothing of the sort... probably just a slightly better Republican win than normal which isn't saying a whole lot.
