I've been struck by this watching Trump and Harris rallies:

Trump is so low energy, flagging, listless but most notably hateful. The enemy Kamal is low IQ, foreigners hate us blah blah blah...all delivered in a barely awake doze.

Meanwhile Harris is telling her supporters what they can do to help their fellow Americans, that they have power to do this, that hope is the future and cheering them on even as they cheer for her!

The vibe is so different.

Curious, would MAGA really disagree with this on any other grounds than that they're happy about the doom and gloom Trump is spouting? Or at least that he promises to end the doom and gloom just like he was going to "drain the swamp"?
It comes down to their core philosophy.

I have issues with the Democrats but Harris is telling people they can work together to make their country stronger and better.



Trump is all about how the US is some fallen society in a good vs evil narrative and only he can save them making him the messiah of his narrative.

Which also makes everyone else in the country expendable in his little hero drama.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

And all too many of them are buying into the idea that he's their messiah.
Some even literally😬😬😬
Wishful thinking. Some people just like him. @Pikachu
@Spoiledbrat

And some people build golden statues in his image and make praise songs about how he is god's chosen representative.

@SW-User I don't even have paystubs from my current job hanging around. Is there anyone that has paystubs from a job 40 years ago? Highly doubt it. lol.

Trump has dialed into the vein of MAGA hate. He encourages everyone to hate everyone else. Thats all he has to offer and his MAGA supporters seem to love it.

@justanothername Such sweet, loving females [if they are females], never a foul word about anybody, eh?
justanothername · 51-55, M
@sunsporter1649 That’s because their names aren’t Musk or Trump. Neither of whom have a nice word to say about anyone else other than themselves.

Trump is correctly labeled as a cry baby for a reason.

@Convivial 'I talked with somebody once who said, ''You know, if you just look at where the stars are in the sky, don't look at 'em as just random things,'' she said. 'If you just look at 'em as points, look at the constellation — what does it show you?''

Well summed up. Trump's message is entirely dependent upon an apocalyptic hypothesis created from negating everything the current government has done. It can be nothing other than negative and energy sapping.
@SunshineGirl

He has no real plans. He just wants to make Americans afraid enough to vote him in so that he can save his own hide.
Most MAGA supporters will vote red down the line. There's no changing anyones mind on that one...
@GohantheThird

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a cult....but it's pretty cult-like😬

They are gaslit to see it the other way.

On paper it's no contest.
But Trump has built himself a faithful, rabid following.

I wonder what they will do if he loses again...

@Pikachu The world will be watching, it should be interesting. The Russians, or the Chinese, or the NK just need a shooter to start things going, and then sit back and watch the mayhem.

She just wants to be president. @Pikachu
@Spoiledbrat

You're entitled to your opinion.

@Spoiledbrat so basically you fault Harris for having a message like Jesus, and prefer someone with a message like the old guy who called the cops on you for walking across his lawn. Got it.
