You can't win with a reason-based argument, as much as to us it seems bafflingly obvious. It's frustrating to me. I look forward to retiring to some remote cabin away from idiots. You have to be MORE entertaining and outrageous than him. He calls you dumb, you call him an illiterate clown. He calls you meatball, you call him obese. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. Hell, just start by calling him Diaper Donnie. You win his crowd by being more outrageous than him.

To beat Trump, you need someone entertaining with a magnetic personality. That's not Ron. No you're wrong. After all this time you guys still dont understand Trumps appeal. DeSantis just has to show himself as an everyman who says and does what the common man says and does. Thats how people saw Trump.

Desantis needs the right wing media to put him on the pedestal and the MAGAts will flock… errr colonate to him. Turns out it’s called a grumble… A group of maggots is called a grumble, and they are primarily driven by the need to feed. They aren't aggressive in the pursuit of other animals, but they focus on survival through adulthood.

Trump's appeal is very simple -- he acts like every moron thinks they would act if they were rich. Eat junk food. Crap on enemies. Say ridiculous things publicly with an IDGAF attitude. Most people (and certainly most Trump voters) are bitter because life didn't turn out how they thought it would. They never fulfilled their middle school dreams of being rich and popular. Trump appeals to them because he embodies that anger and resentment -- they think he is everything they always wanted to be. Rich, crude, unfiltered. Trump allows everyone's Id to run wild. He is the embodiment of their anger, resentment and failed dreams. To defeat him, you need to expose him and out entertain him so you can win the grievance crowd.

He was born with a gigantic silver spoon. Before I was even born he was gifted more money than I'll ever see in my lifetime. Trump is the furthest thing from an everyman. You've all been fleeced and you won't admit it.

It's why Trumpism has a direct connection to Republicans' declining religious participation and to their rising divorce rate. They've failed in life and even though they're by nature inclined to rely on faith, they have no fallback spiritual guidance or community, so they've turned to cult leaders like Trump.

May 18, 20232 yr Disney Pulls Plug on $1 Billion Development in Florida A new office complex, and relocation of a division from California, would have created more than 2,000 jobs but was scuttled as the company and Gov.

So apparently in most states back in the 70's, if you wanted to get a divorce, you had to prove you were wronged by your spouse in a court of law? wtf

It's bad enough young conservative incels have trouble getting women want to be with them in the first place. You can't just allow them to leave of their own free will from the rare ones that beat the odds.
