Globalist left-wing have treasonously imported millions and millions of third world migrants who are totally incompatible with the West, and they are incompatible with Western values. They despise everything about France, and they’re destroying that country, and we’re not going to let that happen to this country,” Trump said during his speech. Despite interruptions by protesters, the crowd broke into applause at Trump’s words.

Which is ridiculous mainly because:

  1. Rioting has always been France's national past time, even when they stormed the Bastille last weekend, that's tradition at this point.

  2. Republicans want everyone to forget they've spent the last 25 years shitting on France already. How is it burning down now if it's been burnt down for a generation? No one has talked more shit about France than American conservatives... Now they suddenly love France?

If enough Democrats win, they can push legislation through without him being able to block it.

"The browns are coming to rape your women, steal your hard-earned consumer goods, beat you to death, and burn everything down."

That's the message that resonates the most with Republican voters. It's galvanizing and makes them "circle the wagons" emotionally, so it's no wonder that they use it again and again and again. According to Fox, NYC, Chicago, and LA have all been burned to the ground at least three times each in the last decade. And they've been pointing to Europe as a racist's cautionary tale for at least as long.

Yeah, but they've spent literally 25 years shitting on France because they asked for evidence after 9/11...

It's been beat deep into Republican voters heads that France is bad and they don't like France. They fucking renamed French fries, "freedom fries" never caught on, but you still get looks/comments if you don't only say "fries" when ordering them.

It's not like one cognitive dissonance is enough to wake them up, but this is a complete 180 on a main talking point out of nowhere, I can't think of a single good thing trump has ever said about France.

Republican voters won't change their views over this stuff, but when faced with uncomfortable truths like this, their default is to check out of the conversation. This won't motivate them to vote to save the French, this will make them tune out to any future political messaging, and not vote.

They'll just pretend there isn't an election rather than have to use critical thinking to try and justify it

I think it's because he's going to try and burn everything down then he and his "donors" will buy everything up. Then Democrats will be blamed and 2028 comes around and the GOP gains power again. Rinse repeat.

What exactly are these "Western values", Donnie? Seems to me they largely involve rapacious cunts such as him stomping on the faces of the masses, taking all their wealth and running.

It's entirely possible he could flee given the investigations he's about to face. He knows what happens to pedophile in prison. And while his legal team, even though inept, will keep him from ever seeing the inside of a prison. That fear would be enough to make him flee.

Yah he certainly has amassed enough money…it would likely be argentina or some other warmer country…but who knows what will happen. Ive already voted but I bet something happens and the whole thing gets rigged

One of my teachers in a humanities related field said she had a dream where people were running through the street and making tons of noise at like 2 am that woke her up, and they were just screaming “HE’S DEAD! HE’S DEAD!!”

So that’s how people in the humanities are doing, if anyone was curious.

Are enough Republican seats (that are likely to flip) even up for election to do that this midterm? I seem to remember that being a problem in 2018, that there was backlash but not enough Republicans up for election to make much headway.

Oh yah for sure and trump just boasted hes already spent $400m to prop up other republicans. They are very nervous or perhaps this has always been the republican spending norm and we are just hearing about it more because we have a bunch of megalomaniacs with megaphones

the odds of democrats sweeping the upcoming senate elections, including every single one of the twenty-two republican-held seats, is as close to zero as you can get without actually being zero.

then on top of that, you have 'unreliable' ""democrats"" holding office which you can't count on to vote with their party of record.

so the net chance of the upcoming senate session being able to override a veto is zero. not gonna happen. hell, the democrats would be extremely lucky to hit 60 seats.

over on the house side, democrats might get a 5-10 seat advantage, they'll never get the veto-proof majority there either. way too much rigging of the vote and maps by republicants for that.
