For the sake of balance, because I criticized liberal civility so much, I just wanted to say that it is refreshing to see the Harris campaign drop that bullshit.
Trump IS old and quite weird. We've kept people from the White House for less.

"Do you think it ever occurred to Trump that if he wasn't such a big asshat, that he wouldn't have been shot at and Corey never would have died?"

Donald Trump says he will go back to Butler, Pennsylvania and do a rally again in honor of 'hero' firefighter Corey Comperatore

Concern over Trump saying you won't need elections in four years misses the way things are done by would-be dictators.
One of the reasons right-wingers admire Hungary's dictator Orbán is how he changed the rules so that elections still happen, but the opposition simply can't win. #uspol #USPolitics #2024election
#trump Backers Are Talking Up Possible #CivilWar – Mother Jones
“I believe wholeheartedly donald trump and Butler County’s #jdvance are the last chance to save our country politically. I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,” Lang said, as the crowd erupted in raucous applause.

Analysis
Insights into JD Vance:
After briefly turning away from fundamentalism, Vance has returned to it with a vengeance.
It was inevitable he'd gravitate toward "a party of religious fanatics run by a rapist sociopath.
"Most young people loathe the tyrannical ideas of Project 2025." But some enjoy them.
"No one like him should come within a 1,000 miles of the White House. & you don’t have to be a 'cat lady' to understand that."

Ok, let's do this. The Harris campaign should not be on mastodon. It would be bad for both the campaign, and mastodon.

"I am not Christian", says Trump while explaining how he can "fix it" so voters won't have to vote anymore.
So now he’s just screaming the quiet part aloud.
“Christians. I love you, Christians! You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
~Trump tells Christians to vote “Just this time.” After, he will have it “fixed” so they won’t have to vote again. ~

Trump Says Christians Won’t Have to Vote in Future: ‘We’ll Have It Fixed’

This has been pretty obvious for some time now, and it's been totally crazy for me how people have not been talking about it.
But finally he just out and out said it, so now people seem to take it seriously. Let's hope this doesn't just go away with the news cycle. We have to keep reminding people that if Trump wins this one time, the most powerful country in the world will be a fascistic theocratic dictatorship forever!

Good point.
As #Scaramucci said, how many Scaramuccis will he last?
#Vance seems to be in self-destruct mode, despite having written a bestselling book and being politically experienced.
TRUMP / VANCE RACISM
Michigan pollsters discovered this week that NOT A SINGLE PERSON of color they polled, would vote for Donald Trump in a Trump vs. Harris presidential matchup!
The poll included 100 people of color.

Big tech firms should start to worryThe Economist
Psychologically speaking, this period of US politics is a tug of war of what they call psychological reactance, which is that when a perceived freedom is being taken away, people tend to get extremely upset and will go to extremes to protect the freedom, as opposed to little reaction if they never had that freedom, it feels normal.
As the arc of history bent towards justice, increasingly in recent decades, the right perceived their freedoms (to discriminate, to rule, to be rewarded more highly for mediocrity, to be deferred to, etc), which led to them taking political power as their base became fired up.
And with that power, they increasingly took from us OUR hard won freedoms, many of them only recently won. (Freedom of expression, racial equities, sexual freedom, women’s rights, ending Roe, etc.)
Time will tell, but it sure seems like they took enough freedom from us to trigger *our* reactance, and that it’s going to be greater than theirs.

Setting up for a big Supreme Court decision.Matt Bruenig (NLRB Edge)
So I heard Biden mention that he's big into reforming the Supreme Court. My reaction to that is "If the next words out of your mouth aren't 'I'm appointing five new justices and I expect the legislation enabling it and their appointments to be confirmed by congress before the election' then I have no idea why the fuck you're still talking."
Just preserving this one for posterity: the 60 seconds that made her President.
The lines, the delivery, everything.
Vice President #Harris immediately opens up a 20 point lead among young voters, an expansion of a 6 point lead by #Biden which had been narrowing.

If you think he has earned a beer for ~50 years of public service, donate $5 to help elect VP #Harris (and show #Mastodon is worth looking at)!
Or, you know, a six-pack for $30. 😇

“JD Vance is making history as the least liked VP nominee (non-incumbent) since 1980 following his/her party's convention. He's the first to have a net negative favorable rating.
Not surprising given how weak he ran in Ohio in 2022. Far worse than the average Ohio Republican.” @ ForcasterEnten
