Who was it that astutely called this out as the new Trump Show?
The Trump Show was getting old and tired, and now Google searches for Loomer are spiking and the news isn't covering anything but Loomer and the lies about Haitians in Springfield.
Trump won last time by dominating the news cycle and not letting any good news from the other side break through because the news only focused on him and the insanity.
I forget whose username I saw yesterday who said this, but I mulled it over, and now I believe it, seeing the spike in searches for Loomer. You were right, the more we focus on this, the more we're going to blow the election or any real coverage of right-wing election ratfuckery because the media will be hyperfocused on Loomer and Trump fucking. I actually take it back, even, they might not be fucking because they know exactly how this will look and they want to distract the media with it.
This is amping up the insanity to completely distract the media from any positive attention given to Harris/Walz, or honestly, anything that isn't Trump.
They don't have ideas, all they have is anger, frustration and distraction.
A few days ago, I thought it was just that Loomer managed to get into Trump's orbit. Now, I don't trust that this is actually "splitting" the party. They said the same things in 2016 and the party held locksteady. This is a distraction to keep the news media firmly planted right up Trump's ass.
With my degree in kitchen psychology I would say he is somewhat in love with her? He looks genuinely happy in this picture, and I've never seen him like that at all. He looks like a different person. If only she was a sane, likable person who could turn him, but to each their own, I guess.
As if his voters aren’t as racist as her. Some republicans just know it looks great in front of undecided voters (still not over their existence, how do you guys function?!) to act like they don’t like this.
