The Trumpers also see the lawfare taking place for what it is-a government persecution of one person organized by the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party. If Trump gets convicted, they know it is phony. A bought judge, and a bought judicial system. They know what will happen to them if they have to face it
Tea party were the middle class objecting to the government take over of health care. They were polite . They were demonized. So the Tea Party learned and they are the kernel of Trump voters. It is not that they love Trump as cult. They like that Trump fights for their values.
If you want to beat Biden, you have to force him to pledge allegiance with the most vociferous, progressive elements in the Democratic party. Biden (or, better yet, I should say his handlers) are so desperate to hold onto power that they will make any promise, shake any hand no matter how bloody it is if it means more votes for their side. The mistake they will make is when they shake the hands of people and ideas that most people in America find abhorrent.
Joel Ross, writer of the (notorious?,Infamous?) The Ross Rant, was involved with No Labels. Ross generally has a pretty good sense of current events and politics, but his revulsion to anything Trump stood out as a notable weakness in his opining. This refusal to accept that we have 2 flawed candidates, one of which is so near-death that he has to be hopped up on speed to get ready for any scheduled public appearance, generally hates the country and is a career transactional politician, is baffling to put it mildly.
If nothing else, heeding the maxim that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", every lucid voter should be siding with Trump, as he has stood up to mainstream media who got nearly everything wrong over the last 4 years, the U.N. who has gotten everything wrong for the last 4 decades, and Big Tech who is trying to push A.I. into our skulls while IT gets a whole helluva lot wrong thanks to its biased programmers.
Excellent analysis. No labels is a bit of a punchline. Disaffected liberals that sort of recognize their party, the Democrat
party, is utterly corrupt, but they don’t want to throw in with what they perceive as the “racist Republicans”. When the hot civil war starts, with whom will they side? Or will they sit on the sidelines and whine about it?
I've said before I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump, a man I do not like. It's because I am sick of being pissed on and told it's raining by DC. No Labels is more of the same. The nation is doomed either way but at least Trump might spread the doom around. You are right, if he loses a lot of people will go to ground and wait for the government to come and try to impose their mandate, and it won't be pretty.
Addendum: I kind of screwed up this post with two alike paragraphs. A reader pointed it out and he is correct but since it's been up and it has been linked. I won't change it. I make mistakes for sure and proof read/edit these myself. Hence I don't catch them all. I apologize for the lack of editing if it gets in the way of you reading it.
Historians dozens of years from now will appreciate the force of nature that Trump is/was on the political scene. He took over the Republican Party. Last pol to do that? Reagan? Teddy Roosevelt?
There's only two choices in the Presidential election and anybody who could possibly think Joe Biden is a better leader in today's world than Donald Trump does not deserve to vote.
The ridiculous strategy of the Democrats keeping an open border and then pushing for non-citizens' "rights to vote"🤨🙄 is one of the most scummy, sleazy political strategies in history, not to mention illegal.
There are already too damn many politicians with law degrees who've been elected and we need Business Leaders who understand money management and people management and attorneys are notoriously poor at both of those.
I see RFKJr's brother Chirs in Wilmette from time to time. Pleasant guy, and an Illini fan. Had a good chat with him after the Northwestern vs. Illinois bball game. He yelled I-L-L- at me when I saw him at Jewel a week or so later.
Israel is the wedge issue for the Democrats, while abortion is the wedge issue for Republicans. Socialism has always been a profoundly antisemitic movement, and as the Democrats drift further and further into to the DSA grip, they will lose their educated professional leaders. While not numerous, the loss of Jews and non Jew professionals will seriously damage the Democrat brand, particular since the working class left them long ago. Extreme abortion measures are similarly damaging to the Republicans, as they risk losing their anti-government bona fides and will have no chance at maintaining any unmarried women voters (a not insignificant percent of the population). The best part about Trump 2.0 is he no longer has to kow tow to the Pence crowd.
"She will sell herself to the highest bidder." Who else does that describe? The big orange guy who can't figure out if TikTok should be sold off/banned or not. The guy who clearly admires strongmen like Xi and Putin (note I didn't say anything more). There is a lot that needs blowing up. Whoever blows it up needs to have a plan for afterwards. Which the populist right has none of. Neither party has any plan for addressing the debt - it will require spending cuts (including entitlements) and tax increases. The mass middle, left and right, believe in free lunches and can't be talked out of that position. The world looks like it going to hell. Neither Trump nor Biden have much of a clue.

Thank you...very well said.
