Trump Fall [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

I watched this video and it occurred to me, this is what's finally going to bring him down with the MAGAs. I see it, I finally got damn fucking see it.

What the MAGA crowd loves isn't his message, it doesn't matter what he says or does. How much he fails and contradicts himself doesn't matter. They always make excuses for him, rationalize him. MAGAs loves his confidence. He has it, no other rethug candidate comes close. Yeah, he's angry but he also mocks and jokes in a way anybody can understand. It's that simple.

I've got 3 best lifelong friends, they don't like Trump but they discussed why people do - talking over people, not giving a fuck and always punching back. For example, they loved during the 1st debate when he answered "Smart" to the question about avoiding taxes. Back to the picture I took from another post. That video projects none of that. It projects weakness. Frailty.

Ladies and gentlemen, the words we use that describe him sound like an adult in any Charlie Brown special. It's mumblecore to the MAGA crowd. But the word "WEAK", it's primal, they feel it. That's the god damn game. Confidence.

Play the Republican Fox game is how we start peeling the base away. They make them after years of abuse from their own laws (another subject for another time) angry. Being pissed off makes them feel alive, feel stronger, revitalized. It energizes those assholes.

Make them feel weak and they stay home. We are never going to break the trance and have them think logically. Who the hell thinks logically when they're angry? Transcribing Trump does little to nothing. It ain't the words, it's how he says them.

Right now, he speaks weakly, feebly. Push that message over and over again. Keep it simple. His lawyers have talked some sense to him and he isn't speaking off the cuff. He's got to think his words and actions through. And that is obviously taking the piss out of him. That's the picture above. His hair is looking weak. It looks like a tongue protruding between two broken teeth.

I saw the same thing when he was alone speaking after the Washington indictment in the rain. The indictments and the lawyers are slowing him down. Making him second guess himself sounds weak and it's starting to reflect in his support.

Hit his lack of confidence over and over again. Call him weak. Don't make the Desantis mistake thinking that his policies are popular, they're not. Forget calling him, lunatic, madman, idiot etc. Weak, frail, old, these words work. Keep it simple and pass it along.
