Fracture, baby, fracture!
This is what y'all dipshits get for following a cult of personality in a game of politics.
Amateur hour. Read a book.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I may be a bit too optimistic, but it would be amazing if this was the election that broke the republican party.
I thought 2016 was the time sigh. Then 2020 but nope.
They ought to go the way of the whig, but it's too much to hope for
Oh, but it can't :). Trump owns the Republican National Committee - Trump's DIL, Lara Trump is the head of it. Republicans went ALL IN on Trump. Lol
Not just that, but they made their object of worship a man who was already well-past senior status when this whole thing started. Why would you have ever put all your chips on this guy (Trump in 2016)???
Jim Jones started Peoples Temple I'm his 20s and fucking ran with that for decades
THIS is his Modus Operandi. We will go a week in between horrible shit he says, probably less as time goes on. He can't help himself.
Can't wait for him to fucking lose.
I'm hoping we get into a positive feedback loop of Good polls for Harris -> Trump loses his shit -> Trump lashes out embarrassingly and loses support -> Good polls for Harris. So far it seems to be working.
Bold of you to insinuate any of them are capable of embarrassment.
I’ve already seen quite a few that are framing it as though the audience was eating out of his hand and for him against the interviewers
No matter what utter embarrassments happen, those same sycophants will frame it that way. How anyone would choose to believe it is beyond me
Lol. They don't care and it changes nothing. We all knew he was a racist piece of shit last week, and now we still do.
Yeah, being a racist piece of shit is why he gets all those votes.
nazis support this guy and he won't condemn them. All i need to know about him.
It is not possible for a conservative to be ashamed of bigotry. Bigotry is just who they are at their core.
Conservatives are proud of Trump's behavior. That's why they chose him as their representative. They could've choosen anyone in the nation to represent who they are, and they chose Trump to reflect their values. He is their reflection.
They might be embarrassed by his making a fool of himself but they support him because they agree with his positions.
It's why they mimic his behavior too.
Let them feel the burn of Trumps candidacy. They put him in this place and sowed the wind, let them reap the storm that makes them unelectable, too.
Weird old bigot does weird old bigot things; nation shocked
"Trump did more for Black Americans than any President in at least the last 50 years. VP Harris' honeymoon will soon end," LaLota added.
Is LaLota braindead?
He's got an R next to his state. Chances are, yes.
I don't think those quotes show Republicans reeling from anything. Those politicians know that Trump is a racist jerk, and they're okay with it. However, they are trying to get votes closer to the center, or by people who are closet racists but polite in public, so they wanted to mildly distance themselves.
They're always aghast at something, yet they still fall into line.
I don't get it? How are these remarks more embarrassing than so many other idiotic and false remarks he has made about his previous opponents, and on so many issues?
Seems to me nothing really changed, but maybe some people are beginning to get tired of it?
The real funny thing is how he constantly waves his hands in front of him to put them in a perspective where they look bigger.
They're different because more people are paying attention and he's finally on defense.
Biden couldn't get press that wasn't about infirmity. Trump only got passes. Things have changed.
