Summary
Tim Alberta of The Atlantic reports low morale and mounting frustration within Donald Trumpās 2024 campaign, with some staff expressing āresentmentā and even ādisgustā toward the candidate.
Once optimistic about Trumpās chances, aides are now worried as the campaign appears to be unraveling in its final stretch. Alberta shared that senior staffers feel exhausted by Trumpās increasingly erratic behavior, with one high-ranking insider admitting they partly hope for his defeat.
The man might be president elect tomorrow. Donāt get ahead of yourself with this kind of āsinking shipā talk. It might be true but it doesnāt help anyone to talk about until the election is behind us.
Zero people are going to change how they vote today based on anything I type here right now. His ship is sinking whether his basket of deplorables still has enough bread in it to pull off an unlikely win today or not, and thatās why (some of) the rats are deserting the ship. The man canāt put two sentences together, and was frankly every bit as bad as this (and worse than Biden) when Biden dropped out.
The scary part isnāt what will or wonāt happen to Trump. The scary part about Trump driving out all the not-entirely-batshit Republicans is that now Democrats are becoming even more conservative as they pander to them.
Everyone dogpiled the guy who posted the ratchet meme a day or two ago, but he was spot on. Trump destroying R had the net effect of pulling D to the right, and pushing progressive goals even further away for all of us. I will openly wear my disdain for what these shitstains have done to the country and to our near-future until old age takes me.
As you should. Trump and his supporters are the worst thing to happen to America in my lifetime at minimum. Still, your original post seemed to be getting awfully close to discounting the possibility that they might win and thatās not assured. If thatās not what you were getting at then by all means, carry on.
All good, I get your point. They might win. I donāt think they will, but they might. If they do, Iām not going to waste a second about having publicly presumed they would not though. There will be bigger fish to fry. š
