(121 posts)Moore is from Michigan, so he's definitely more attuned to the Midwest than a Californian like me. He may try to draw attention to himself, but he may be right, which is incredibly scary. What I know for sure is that Trumpism is a cult, and Trump cultists will crawl in the snow for a hundred miles to vote for him, while Democrats are rational, so they will never be as enthusaistic for their candidate. Trump cultists, nearly all of them racist and xenophobic, feel like they had been despised and looked down on for years by the "elite" and that Trump has given them back their dignity and self esteem, and will save them from becoming a looked down on minority.
Let's remember that when a trump cultists is confronted with over 180,000 dead and 6 million covid19 infected they'll reply that it's either a hoax, it's not Trump's fault, or it would be much worse if trump hadn't been President, the live in alternate reality and there's no rational there, they are just like Flat Earth cultists.
it is all BS, but let's not underestimate his base, they are utterly devoted to their cult leader and will not abandon him no matter what. We can overcome this only by an unprecedented voter turn out, there is no miracle cure, every single voter scared of Trump, and in my opinion we will become the Fourth Reich if he is President on 1/20/2021, should vote even if they have to wait in line in scorching sun or freezing rain for 12 hours, it's our only chance, and damn it, why are the Democrats not campaigning in Michwas in the bag and never bothered to campaign there.
