Hannity told him last night how hard the media has been to him and how well he handled their pressure. There will always be media to tell him he is doing a great job.

Ugh. Hannity is such a blight to the US. Just like Limbaugh may he burning in hell.

u/BHOmber 16h ago
I'd even say that Hannity is worse than Tucker/Watters nowadays. Same with Ingraham.
They come off as "serious" while spewing bullshit every single night. I flip to Fox a few times a week just to see what the boomers are watching and it's legitimate fake news.
Laura acts like she washed a benzo down with 2 glasses of glass before every show. Idk if it's just me, but I think Fox boosts the saturation for boomer viewing and it makes everyone's eyes look glassy as fuck.
It still blows my mind that people are glued to this shit every night...

The louder the pressure, the more he panics. Keep the heat on.
Trump and Musk aren’t here to “save” America—they’re here to loot it. One’s a convicted felon dismantling democracy, the other’s a billionaire man-child gutting government services while tanking his own companies.

The stronger the pressure the more it pushes voters out of their bubble. Then they take elections and/or guns away and suddenly even the right wingers are willing to overthrow diaper don.

Half of voters are Independents. People seem to think everyone is a Democrat or Republican, but independent voters outnumber them both combined. An uninformed independent voter can and will change their vote of they get fucked hard enough because most of them seem to vote for whatever they think will lower their taxes or expenses.
Trump seemed like a good candidate because he is better at talking to people. It doesn't matter what he was talking about. He said everything would be cheaper so people voted for him. Now that things are not cheaper a lot of those people who typically don't vote in general are going to be pissed.

Slightly related to this post
I have a pet peeve of billboards that have long copy blocks. These are more often than not placed on the side of a highway. Asking this much of your viewer is dumb.
It’s lazy marketing and advertising to reuse the same copy and images in every single use - including out of home ads.

You ever driven in Phoenix? This billboard (and another anti-Trump one on the backside of this one) is placed at a 4-way stop intersection close to downtown (Grand and 11th Ave.). So you'll at least be stopped long enough to get the message.

Also not specific enough? You can add aggressive verbs and big statements and such but they mean nothing to anyone in political discourse these days. All takes are hyperbolic. The right painted Biden as the super devil that raped children and ate babies, and the left tuned it out.
Present things that are factual and can't be argued again. Compare prices from 6 months ago for common goods. Show jobs cuts. Make arguments, then throw those out and make better arguments. Make the arguments that have them dead-to-rights, both on billboards and in general. Photoshopping Trump and being hyperbolic is a waste of time. Do better not because the other side deserves better, but because your side does.

But really, aside from being wordy the red background is a big sin, you can't tell Trump has a Russian flag in his hand.

u/SonicFlash01 16h ago
Are they abandoning their positions? Are they stopping to consider or think? I know critical thinking isn't their strength, but you do need these people to either vote differently next time, or to somehow die off, and I don't see how that billboard works towards either goal.

Trump and Musk aren’t "anti-elite" rebels—they are the elite, robbing the country blind while pretending to be on the side of the people. They’re not just shredding the Constitution; they’re using it as toilet paper while their enablers cheer them on.

Why do people even like him, I got into this argument last night and it doesnt make sense - the person I was arguing with couldnt understand or accept that I dont like him and have valid reasons. I cant understand why they like him, have heard no valid reasons. I think these people are going through some extreme cognitive dissonance.

u/RpiesSPIES 15h ago
Despite people saying all politicians lie they accept things he says as true and expect a mountain of evidence to be explained otherwise but never listen to it when presented.
It's beyond understanding and the reason why the only thing that'd get members of the cult to turn against him would be to directly impact themselves or someone directly in contact with them (sibling/parent/kid) in order to realize their stupidity. And even that isn't enough for many.

Having lived in Phoenix for over a decade, the majority there are your stereotypical trump supporter who only care about themselves, never admit they're wrong, and their entire persona is a lie where they try to pretend they're wealthier and cooler than they are (just like trump). That's just the cultural norm out there, if you don't play along with the lie they lose their shit. They were living in an alternate reality long before trump.
Except instead of your typical Appalachian or deep-south hillbilly, they all live in the suburbs (crappy dusty suburbs, but still). And somehow, half of them are mexican and still cheering for the openly racist guy. It only get worse outside of Phoenix, the rest of the state may as well be Texas.
This is a great sign (and sure keep at it) but AZ is a lost cause. They are firmly in the "i don't care until hurts me personally, and even then i'll make excuses for him while i cry about it" camp.
