    Ok, but for real, do you genuinely believe there’s anyone out there who forgot what Trump is about? He was in power for 4 years and he’s been in the news every day since he left office.

    I just don’t get why people believe there’s this elusive “undecided” vote that will be flipped if Trump just says one more crazy racist statement or something.

      My aunt made a point of tuning into these sort of things when she was with my Trump voting grandmother. Listening and watching what a train wreck he is without the right-wing media filter I think was what ended up turning her into a Biden voter in 2020. I don’t know if my aunt would have gotten through to her if she didn’t have the debates and pressers to work with.

      There are a lot of people who don’t consume any news whatsoever. They’re too busy trying to survive to remember shit from 4 years ago and just want their lives improved. If you aren’t following this stuff day to day it’s easy to forget just how cartoonishly insane that fucker is.

      I just don’t get why people believe there’s this elusive “undecided” vote that will be flipped if Trump just says one more crazy racist statement or something.

      I think there is a small segment of voters that could be swayed by reminding them just how chaotic Trump was/is. We’re playing with margins of 10s of thousands of votes in a couple states so every little bit is going to matter.
