Yes, Trump really has built up specific powers that genuinely no other politician has.

He spouts so much drivel that a lot of voters will hear him say "Im going to crush the poor beneath my boot" and think hes a hilarious prankster

If you think that real issue like that move people more than 8 trans athletes in the entire country somehow going after your daughter (i.e hyperbolic bullshit), then I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn, cheap.

It's somewhat pointless to keep having to debate this point with centrist.

They know it's a lie. The better question is,

"what purpose, who's interest does the lie serve?"

Then we can shift the plane of the discussion.

Increasingly convinced the easy wedge into the center of this contradiction is running against the press. Call out NYT headlines for their bad framing. Rail against the vast MAGA media industrial complex.
Basically do what Trump did

There is the real Dem agenda, and then there is what the GOP claims to be the Dem agenda. IMHO a lot of 2024 voters backed Trump because they believed propaganda about Harris wanting to transgender your kids.

Not only that, Dems told us all what Trump would do. They voted for him anyway. Now he’s doing those things. And yet, we’re still not trusted.

They've been effective in it because mainstream media has been eager to accommodate them even above their regular eagerness to prove that they aren't biased by both-sidsing.

The central problem is that Democratic issue positions get conveyed to voters through the filter of an info environment that is increasingly hostile and controlled by its political enemies. Aiming for median voters is fine but you’ll get no credit when vibes rule and you don’t control the vibes

The GOP has been extremely effective at shaping perceptions of the Democrats, claiming they support policy positions they don't actually support

If your strategy, as a Dem, for winning in 2028 *STARTS* by buying their spin and lies, then you've already lost

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

A $7,000 health care bill could soon soar to $24,000. Notices are coming. Democrats are fighting to stop this disaster. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs explode. Let’s be clear: Republicans OWN this crisis.

Among possibility the the future of the filibuster is the Senate going nuclear on specific issues, bit by bit as needed, until the practice finally dies

To give all of that up to keep the GOP from doing just a handful of things that they'd like to do but don't HAVE to do is the prevent defense of legislation. Of COURSE the party that is almost never going to get more than 51 Senate seats should want the filibuster gone.

You get the tattoo covered up 5 years ago, volunteer for some sort of Jewish organization 2 years ago, then run for Senate now.

I am sick of assholes who expect to be forgiven without even apologizing let alone making amends. His issue is not a mistake 20 years ago, but refusing to change.

Susan Collins is probably just glad he ran as a Democrat, if he ran as a Republican there is no way she beats him in the primary.
