Because all his earlier life was spent paying pretty women (and girls) to hang around pretending to be attracted to him (when it was actually money, food, and/ot entertainment).

That probably describes a good chunk of Trump supporters. They are very enamored by the idea of strength and the terms they use reflect that influence it has on their world. The idea that America is presently diminished and will become great = a strong and respected nation leading other nations. The desire for hypermasculine men and submissive women. If their leader looks weak, they’re sensitive to that. They’ll deny it as long as they can, of course. But there could very well be a point where the collective feeling turns away from Trump.
And convinced that if he loses it can only be because the Democrats cheated and/or the undocumented immigrants voted and/or some other nefariousness.
Isn’t that socialism? :o
There’s no voting on the rules. One family (and this is just the one family that spoke up about it) vs one or two families that wanted Trump there means zip. The article focusing on the complaining family is just making it about human interest. Rules is rules.
The family may have invited him, but taking campaign photos is disallowed. The inviting family DOESN’T make the rules and their invitation doesn’t change the rules.

Peter Thiel is so weird. Gay and conservative just don’t go together. But I suppose his billions cushion him from the usual level of contempt.
Now if they actually dumped Trump they might have something there, but there’s just no way in hell he will.
This is on the level of tan suit horror, maybe even stupider.
As a California resident I can tell you the only white people working in those fields are the owners and supervisors. The immigrants and undocumented are much of the reason a head of lettuce doesn’t cost $8. And this kind of work is so hard nobody else wants to do it. Early hours, cold in the morning, hot sun in the afternoon, the only shelter is when you’re taking a break, a lot of stooping and bending.
Yeah, but they’re also busy trashing Kamala too.
“Is Harris an ideal candidate? Is she an incredibly talented orator? Is she deft on her feet and nimble in debate? Is she a famous wonk? Does she have a long track record of competence at the state and federal level? Has she been scrutinized by a tough no-nonsense press and come out stronger on the other side?” wrote Wright. “No, of course not — but she’s an alternative to Trump/Biden, and that’s probably going to be enough.”
The far right is obsessed with this image of hyper masculinity from Alex Jones’s magic pills to Andrew Tate to AI generated Trump with Superman’s figure. Their ideal men in that world do not show emotion and they damn well never cry even in happiness, that stuff is for women and other weaklings that need a strong man to run their lives. And it’s all based in insecurity.
They have no idea that people with real strength of character are secure in themselves and can show tenderness and vulnerability knowing that does not define them as weak.
'“What they are doing is a communist takeover of our country… This is Communist; this is Marxist; this is fascist,” teh Republican presidential nominee further said. ’
Tell me you don’t know the meaning of these words without saying you don’t know the meaning of these words.
(And yes this shitshow of a news site did spell it ‘teh’)
Isn’t he the same guy who’s been promising to cut energy costs “in half or less than half,” eh?
Guns, and each boob the size of her head
Well damn, I’m not voting for him again! Lol
The words we’ve been using before – fascists, neonazis, dictators – oddly enough seem to make Republicans laugh at Democrats because we make them sound scary/we sound scared. Calling them weird trivializes them, and reduces them to barely under creepy uncle status. Calling them weird stings because they think themselves the epitome of normal – they think they’re the “real” Americans, not the aberrant ones.
Apparently they are the unmovable kind. Set in stone, unable to swivel and take video of this very large crowd being pushed away from them. They cannot follow, alas
Just wait till he realizes Biden is not running for president.
