I tried to explain to him most polls til Election Day will either show a tie or show her up and not to put too much faith into them. I feel that her “popularity” is a media invention considering she lasted only a few minutes in the primaries, but there are plenty of people who will blindly vote for her like the “mean tweets” people in 2020. To say nothing of any mysterious overnight ballots come Election Day.
I just told him that the media will be pushing her harder than they did for Obama or Biden. I would love to see a landslide like 84 but ever since 2012 this country has sadly shown they will vote based on emotion and what is trendy in a heartbeat.
It's good to maintain healthy amount of paranoia though, use this to ensure EVERYONE votes by whatever means for Trump, don't think 'he survived an assassination, he'll win' to put it off, get everyone registered and voting so they can't use your name to vote for Kamala.
Good point. I know some people who think it will be an easy landslide. As much as I’d love that, I seriously doubt that will happen
I thought that until they memory holed Trump having an assassination attempt that the secret service let happen. I fully expect this election to be tougher than 2020. The level of gaslighting and spin this time around is another level.
A lot of people are also just tired of all the news about everything and are zoning out. Personally, I’m pretty worried. Him getting shot gave people permission to speak out, then it was immediately silenced. It’s evil and scary.
