And the merry-go-round broke down. That should be the theme song for the Trump campaign. I wrote a few weeks ago about Trump’s desperate last ditch attempt to get new voters to make up for his losses by defection of previous Trump voters.
It is two pronged. First Trump was going to go into the battleground states, in deep red districts, and try to scrape off the couch every last goose stepper and cross burner to get those critical states to the electoral college in his column. A dicey proposition at best.
The second was to go on a blitz of far right blog casts and podcasts, desperately reaching out to those lazy, mostly young white voters who didn’t engage politically. The outreach was to make them Trump curious and turn them out to the polls to replace his dwindling base. An even dicier proposition.
Here’s why. The prospects Traitor tot was looking for are mostly young men, with the social skills of Charlie Manson. They live in studio apartments or their Mom’s basement, with the podcast in a small window while they play Call of Duty. They don’t engage, that’s why they are where they are. The words social misfits immediately come to mind.
But Trump has what he thinks is a secret sauce. These sad denuded misfits want to be bad ass renegades. They want to tell Mama go Go screw!, they want to put women in their place, and they want to say what they want, when they want, how they want, and if people don’t like it, they can go and f*ck themselves! And that’s the exact persona Traitor Tot exhibits 24/7/365. He’s a natural to be their culture warrior.
But there’s a problem there. In order to appeal to these voters, El Pendejo ex Presidente has to be his absolute sexist, profane, racist worst in order to appeal to them. And the group that closest matches the general age bracket of these voters is the Generation-Z voters.
And Trump is underwater with them. In a recent poll, Gen-Z women give Harris a +33 advantage over Trump. But with Gen-Z men, Traitor tot only has a +2 rating. That’s a whopping 31 point gap. But the numbers don’t tell the whole story. The whole story is even worse for Il Douche.
The simple fact of the matter is that the kind of low information, low energy men Trump is chasing just. don’t. vote. They’re self contained and disconnected from the process. And if Traitor is at 52% with Gen-Z men, that logically means that 48% of Gen-Z males oppose him. And a whole lot more of them are far more likely to vote than the man child cave dwellers Trump is chasing.
Worse yet, his radical, obscene language chasing these male troglodytes is doing nothing but pissing off Gen-Z women. And Gen-Z women are far more likely to vote than their male counterparts, especially when issues like reproductive rights are at stake.
The old adage is, If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But once again, the Peach Penguin seems to be taking a pitcher full of ice cubes, pissing in it, and calling it lemonade. If there has ever been a worse political candidate than His Lowness, I haven’t yet seen him, and I’ve seen a lot of them. 12 days to go. Don’t touch that dial.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
Same with young black men…more talk than action in the circles I travel. Watching voters today I didn’t see either group in any numbers. He’s chasing shadows. He’s the guy in the Far Side cartoon pushing on a door with a big pull to open sign on it.
You really have this down to a fine science just like a good bottle of wine!
The social troglodytes Trumpy’s pursuing won’t go out to vote because it means going out, and that means daylight, and other people, some of them (gasp!) of other skin colors. It means mingling with them, even women! Maybe even some gays!! No no no, best to hunker down, share vitriol online with like-minded trogs in their dens and not risk exposure and possible humiliation outside.
Short of trump going on to one of these podcasts/radio shows and telling these foolish young men “I’m gonna get all of you a woman of your own to do with as you please”, they’re not going to get off their fat asses to register to vote, vote, or anything else except maybe to go upstairs for meals. Of course as soon as he says something that f*cking stupid (I’m actually waiting for him to say something just like that), he’ll be at risk of turning crimson states to sapphire. While con xtian women might go along with such a scheme, and only the stupidest of those (think those quiver-full fools…quiver-fools HAH), I should think every other woman with the slightest bit of self-esteem would tell trump to go f*ck himself.
Piss marketed as lemonade … perfect summary of Citizen Trump, Mr. Murphy!
