Actually sorta based???
i am beside myself about how weirdly and articulately on point this take is
Between this and his disgust for the South Dakotan puppy murderer, Trump is building some solid animal rights cred. Sure he's mostly concerned with the optics of it all, but he's still on the right side of the issue.
When the lifelong democrat politician gets outflanked by a big wet reality TV guy...
If trump would drop the bigotry, I believe he would have been a very popular politician by American standards. Not that most voters have a problem with bigotry, they just don't like it out loud.
Honestly given how many grillboomers go "HE SAYS WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID, HES HONEST" I think the bigotry gains him as many voters as it loses.
For sure. I just wonder how many libs would have peeled off if he didn't let the mask slip. I also feel like he would have beat Biden last time if it wasn't for COVID.
Some country we got here...
bro he is already incredibly popular and the bigotry is part of the reason 😅
I mean yeah, he got more votes the second time. I wonder what kind of people he brought to the table the second time..
