Seems like a fine example of a lie being told often enough becoming true.
I really wish I had better ways to identify it. Sort of like an avalanche/snowball effect where someone says something that sounds like 4D chess but in reality is Connect 4 on a checkerboard.
Just feels like there’s so much stupidity going unchecked because people are afraid to check it.
This ruling appears to be designed for scotus review. There’s a decent chance they’ll overturn it. If that happens, there will be many avenues for Trump to spin this in his favour. That doesn’t mean this is a good thing for him overall.
Bottom line - he needs to be convicted of his actual crimes in court.
I’ll go out on a limb and say it emboldens anyone that thinks the swamp is rigging the entire system against him, making him some kind of martyr for the cause and rallying people to vote.
For my part I think it may open the floodgates to other states to do the same thing. Would those other states have ever gone Red in the election? Up for debate, but if they do they’ll have to go red for another candidate.
Do those people really need more emboldening to vote for Trump?
Like, how many people can possibly be in the “I wasn’t sure, but now I’m gonna vote for Trump because he was taken off of some other state’s ballot” camp?
Seems like the bad-faith actors that will vote for Trump no matter what want to push the narrative that banning him from ballots actually helps him.
I think it’s up to us to rise above their stupidity and manipulation, even if others have not.
How does banning him from the ballot help him?
It’s a ridiculous take, I have no idea.
It lets him keep playing the victim card and his base eats that up. Plus more media coverage, more people saying his name, so on and so on.
2 can play that game though. As I said earlier, let’s focus on why they said he can’t be on the ballot, he was found guilty of insurrection.
