“I Love Cows”: Team Trump Is Worried His Fumbles Are Helping Harris
Donald Trump’s verbal gaffes are getting worse, and his team knows it.

I’m worried it’s not.
When rumors started that he might be incontinent, his supporters started wearing diapers in solidarity. I don't think anything will deter them.
Yeah, when people call MAGA a cult it’s not an exaggeration. These people are brainwashed to the core. They were parading around in diapers over a rumor that he might be incontinent! That’s not even remotely close to a normal reaction to unpleasant gossip. Normal would be simply dismissing it out of hand because at the end of the day there isn’t really any proof.
And yet they were the ones so adamant they would never wear a "chin diaper" during Covid.
Even if it was true, I wouldn't consider incontinence a disqualifier for public office. If it doesn't impair their ability to genuinely consult experts, I don't think physical issues should matter.
He has far worse problems.
I'm pretty sure there's plenty of proof at this point.
His die hard supporters will go along with almost anything. I do think there's a line somewhere that he could cross that would cause some of them to leave, but every time some new thing comes up and they go along with it, that line moves a little farther away.
However, he needs more than just the flavor-aid connoisseurs to win an election. A lot of the people who vote for him will be doing so simply because the feel like things aren't great and want a change. They will vote while holding their nose, or just ignoring all the insanity around Trump because after a while it turns to white noise.
Convincing those voters that Trump isn't going to be a better alternative is possible, and it's probably easier to convince them Trump is old and unfit than it is to win them over on policy arguments. Way too many people vote (or not) based on vibes, and this line of attack works on that level.
I'm mostly concerned that the media has immunized too many people to his madness such that they effectively chose trump years ago and haven't at all reevaluated that decision because the media has been sane-washing everything he does.

Apparently that line was telling his supporters to mask and vaccinate.
An ever changing ceiling based only on the info provided through the media without any self analysis based on any facts.
Remember, going negative is an effort to suppress turnout for the opposition. Trump voters are much more likely to wait until election day to vote, she gets extra time to convince them to just stay home, to not overcome everyday obstacles or just focus on other things.
If thinking about Trumps failing mental health makes a potential Trump voter uncomfortable, they might just be a little too busy or too tired or too stressed out about other things to deal with the cognitive dissonance of going to the polls to choose him.
It doesn't need to work on a lot of people, but shaving off a fractional percent in key states could make a big difference.
Ya know how when you're high, and someone says some dumb shit that shouldn't be funny, but it hits just right and you crack up?
His brain rot fans are hearing lots of stuff that hits just right because they share a wavelength
Must be like that. Watched a televised rally with a guy and after a few minutes he looks at me and says "So, what do you think?" And I'm like "what even was that incoherent nonsense?". Trump said three goddamn conflicting things in one sentence. Complete horshit. I couldn't fucking believe this guy.
We're so close to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
It's almost like we've seen it before.
We can make it matter by using it as a motivation for action
