NOBODY votes for Biden because he’s a charismatic speaker. Many vote for him because he’s not Trump!
I’m amazed how rightwingers never realize that when they boast of how Trump gets his crowds excited, they are just implying that he is a veteran entertainer, and like every good entertainer he loves to act and mug before adoring crowds. He does what every demagogue has always done.
Like Tucker Carlson, who the right also adores. But of course Tucker was caught actually admitting he knew Trump lied about Biden and Dems “stealing” the 2020 election, and that in fact he despised the destructive game Trump was playing. Tucker himself is just another entertainer for hire — the best paid “infotainer” in the country.
Trump’s crowd was much smaller than the 100,000 predicted … but still much bigger than Biden would draw. I would never subject myself to a rally by either. I’d also ordinarily not vote for a Democratic Presidential candidate — I didn’t vote for Hillary.
But I’ve had enough of the pompous crazy Trump, especially before and after Jan. 6th, when it became obvious he would — if he could — try to stay in power even if it risked civil war. I will never vote for a megalomaniac who actually suggests we ought to consider “terminating” our laws and Constitution … so that he could play “King.” I’ve also, like most Americans I believe, “had it” with his wacko Waco followers.
Wish we could have a decent Conservative Republican — and a much younger and better Democratic candidate — to choose between in 2024. Then maybe I could vote happily for one or the other, or return to my old custom of saying “a plague on both your crooked houses”!
