Read the whole piece. It really lays out how bad Trump has been and tips comes from the right side of the aisle.

-But none of those are Trump's really big problem. It's this: he's just not fun anymore.

The fun the right had in watching Trump drive the left crazy has faded or it's almost completely gone.

Never knew that there was a "B" in it somewhere.

The major fun was, metaphorically, slowly crushing helpless little hamsters in their bare hands while others watched.

Yeah, I guess that did drive us crazy.

They thought it was fun to "own the libs", they never expected it to impact them... It isnt fun anymore when you start feeling the pain.

Thinking they owned them a lib was worth war and price increases and demonizing immigrants until it wasn't anymore.

Some day, "petty as a Trumper" will be a saying.

All true. It's a sporting event to many people.

It's not really about their lives (despite their insistence on such)

It's about being on a team. And winning.

Trump has really stunk it up this round. But if you asked me if I could go back and hand Kamala Harris my vote, the answer is still a hard no.

The team should be America.

The goal should be for Americans to win.

Unfortunately the wealthy. Those who are winning. Have divided us up into 50 states. Then there's the criminal rapist minorities to worry about. The Black Americans taking white people's jobs. Are gays turning your kids gay? Are transgenders cutting off your son's dick? Are women forgetting what it means to be a woman? Will national healthcare allow minorities, women, blacks, and gays to benefit from your hard work?

Suddenly no one is an American.

America fails.

I doubt you've ever changed your opinion about anything regardless of all facts and information available.

You seem like the type who doubles down on a bad decision because you're incapable of admitting you were wrong.

Remember no amount of pain to magat scum personally offsets the joy they feel from making trans kids suffer

Keep in mind that there were more rapists in the Cornell 7 gang rape than there are trans athletes in college sports (of course Megyn Kelly thinks the gang rape victim enjoyed herself cause she is "chunky")

But, if a single trans kid cries, it makes it all worth it to magat scum

"you're incapable of admitting you were wrong."

that's pretty rare here.

I admitted I was wrong on Roe and that's on a short list of acknowledgements.

And people don't respect it when you admit you're wrong. They wish they did but they don't.

People are too tribal and proud for that.

Harris is retarded...hard stop. No one serious about voting or the state their country was in back then actually WANTED her to get elected. They did what pretty much everyone has done in the last couple of decades, they held their nose and cast a vote for someone on the ballot.

But you know what? All is not lost; you might just get an opportunity to vote for her again.

If you really feel she was that unpalatable, I'd never blame you for not voting for her. I felt the same way about the Clintons, and Trump. But there are always third-party and write-in options, even as a protest vote.

"Harris is retarded...hard stop."

She wasn't the brightest bulb in the patch, nor an ideal candidate by any stretch. But she was preferable to Trump, even before the traitorous Jan 6th insurrection, which many of my veteran and LE friends are still extremely pissed about.

Hey OneNut, get your facts straight. Iryna Zarutsk was not killed by an undocumented immigrant, but it appears her killer was a mentally ill American citizen.

Now show me your concern about Renee Good and Alex Pretti who were murdered by their own government. All of these deaths are sad, but your attempt to shame people about only some of them is pathetic.

#20 | Posted by oneironaut

You and the other torch and pitchforkers keep banging that same old drum. Laken Riley was murdered in 2024 by an illegal alien. Approximate illegal alien population in 2024 was 14.6-15.8 million. How many others were murdered by illegal aliens in 2024? I don't know either, but if the number were known I'm sure some of your mob would be shouting it to the sky. I'm sure there were more, but going with the one we know about, that's one murder committed by a group of about 15 million, or a rate of .00000000044 per 100,000. There were just over 20,000 homicides in the entire US in 2024, for a national homicide rate of 5.88 per 100,000. You'd be far less likely to be murdered hanging around the day labor crew at Home Depot than just about anywhere else in the country.

It's like the three-time white, male Trump voter who was lamenting that when he voted for Trump, he was expecting that all of the 'bad things' were only going to happen to 'the other' people.
