Donald Trump flubbed the last debate. His allies know it, his fundraisers know it—but that doesn’t mean they’re willing to admit it.
On Thursday, the Republican presidential nominee announced that he had decided not to debate Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time, writing in a lengthy rant on Truth Social that “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” (Apparently he’s counting his debate against Joe Biden.)
But less than 24 hours after the major reversal, Trump’s team was already working to explain away why the country would be getting less of their candidate.
I just wanna know how all the “tough guy/anti-snowflake” types all landed on the worlds most massive pussy/coward, and thought “here’s our guy, he’s a business man, the only job the whole world that carries the well known and somehow normalized intent to fuck you over no matter what for a dollar. He’ll look out for my interests.”
Most gullible turds speedrun any% world record.
Because he justifies their bad behavior.
Also, now he’s looking less and less like the winner he pretended to be, they’re caught up in the sunk cost fallacy.
You’re right. It’s not that someone can’t admit they’re wrong, is that they’d rather double down because they think others are wrong and that makes the feel good in their brain happen.
Unhappily, a certain number are probably going to go full domestic terrorist. Look at the people threatening Springfeild, Ohio because the residents all told the media that Trump was lying when he talked about the mobs of Haitian pet eaters. They closed down a couple of schools with bomb threats.
Well yeah. Remember the Jan 6 shit. That was genuinely scary. They can do much worse than bomb threats. America is fucked and I don’t know how you fix this.
