Watch what Trump does. Not his lies to help him get elected.
Trump is an entertainer. He just says what is on his mind. People appreciate this side of him so he plays to it in rallies. Ironically, the main stream media like Bloomberg does not engage with him in this way and then criticizes him afterwards. I love the way Trump interacts with the base.
Carl Bernstein: In this election, there is either going to be “a reaffirmation of regular political order in this country,” or “there's going to be a real triumph of fascism, in which good, well-meaning Republicans have allowed themselves to get carried down this path...”
And the other path is to socialism.
Simple lesson for you, Senor Mouth Breather:
1) You Trumpers like to talk about "policy." The "path to socialism" is nothing more than a policy discussion. It's a continuum. You can be more socialistic, or less. Our current system CERTAINLY has elements of socialism (and ones you'd NEVER give up). People elect politicians, and then politicians argue about where to be on that continuum (and a million other things). That's not undemocratic, at all.
2) Fascism. We don't have policy discussions, and voters don't get to choose who will decide. The Orange POS does whatever he wants. The antithesis of democracy.
Can your very small mind see the rather large difference?
Let’s pretend that I would want to create a political person. Say the next president of the US and I would want this person to appeal to people who base their decisions on feelings and not fact. Could you help me build such a character ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Absolutely! If we're designing a political figure who appeals primarily to emotions rather than facts, the character would need to be relatable, charismatic, and adept at using rhetoric that resonates with people's personal experiences and fears. Here are key traits to build this figure: 1. Emotional Appeal & Charisma Inspiration over Information: This character wouldn’t focus on policy details but instead on uplifting rhetoric. Speeches would be filled with hope, patriotism, and a vision for a brighter future. Think slogans like "Bringing the Dream Back" or "For the People, By the People." Storyteller: The character would frequently tell relatable, emotionally charged stories. For example, instead of citing statistics on unemployment, they'd tell the story of a single mother struggling to get by, painting a vivid emotional picture. Empathy-driven: They would constantly express empathy for people's struggles, identifying with common issues like job loss, healthcare, or education. They would say things like, "I know what it's like because I’ve been there with you." 2. Persona & Background Authenticity: The character should have a background that’s relatable to everyday Americans. Perhaps they grew up in a modest, working-class family and worked their way up through hard work. This can create a sense of “one of us.” Outsider Appeal: Despite their political aspirations, they would frame themselves as someone outside of the political elite, constantly criticizing the establishment, claiming they represent "real people" and not politicians. Faith and Values: Appeal to core emotional values—family, religion, and community. The character could often invoke spiritual language, making emotional appeals to a higher purpose. 3. Populist Messaging Simplify Complex Issues: They would reduce complicated political debates into simple good vs. bad dynamics. For instance, on the economy, they wouldn’t go into details of fiscal policy but would say, “We need to put American families first” and blame “corrupt elites” for economic woes. Us vs. Them Narrative: The character would create a sense of unity by dividing. They would speak of "us" (the people) versus "them" (the elites, corporations, or foreign influences). This generates emotional loyalty by giving people a clear antagonist to rally against. Fear and Safety: Appeal to the basic emotional instincts of security and fear. This person would talk about threats—real or exaggerated—whether from other countries, economic collapse, or loss of traditional values, framing themselves as the protector. 4. Media and Messaging Strategy Soundbites over Substance: Messages would be crafted to be easily shareable, often repeating catchy slogans. It’s less about detailed plans and more about strong, emotional statements that people remember and repeat. Leveraging Social Media: This character would be highly active on social media, constantly engaging with their base using emotionally charged posts and direct, personal language that makes followers feel heard and valued. 5. Controversy as Strategy Divide and Conquer: The character might intentionally spark controversy to maintain media attention and energize their base. Whether through provocative language or attacking the opposition personally, this person would ensure they are always the topic of conversation. Emotional Polarization: They would foster a strong emotional connection with their followers, making them feel part of an exclusive movement. Anyone outside the movement would be seen as a threat or opponent, encouraging loyalty and fervor. Sample Rhetoric Here’s how this character might speak: “I see you. I see the pain in our communities, the struggle to make ends meet. And I promise you, we’re going to take this country back for the people!” “They don’t care about you. But I do, because I am you.” “You deserve a leader who feels your pain, who’s been through it all with you, who knows what it means to fight for everything. We’re going to fight, and we’re going to win!” 6. Policies While details would be kept vague, the policies would be framed in emotionally appealing terms: Healthcare: “Healthcare for every American family—because no one should suffer while the rich get richer.” Jobs: “We’re going to bring jobs back to our communities. We’re going to make sure every American has the opportunity to succeed.” Education: “Our kids deserve the best. Not more tests, but real education that inspires.” Would you like to refine this character further, perhaps diving into specific traits or how they might handle particular issues?
I have a feeling that the Kamala character/persona/talking point was developed by Chat GPT
I like the “The character should have a background that’s relatable to everyday Americans. Perhaps they grew up in a modest, working-class family and worked their way up through hard work”
I grew up in the middle class. My second mother was a small business owner. I’m one of you. and yes, I’m a gun owner.
Do you think it would fit if the character highlighted that she was from single mother upbringing. Or do you think it could hurt ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Memory updated Highlighting that the character was raised by a single mother could be a powerful emotional tool, especially if framed correctly. It can appeal to people who value resilience, hard work, and overcoming adversity. Here's why it would likely help: Why It Would Fit: Relatability: Many Americans come from single-parent households or have had personal struggles, and they may see her as someone who understands their experiences. This can generate a strong emotional connection with those voters. Resilience Narrative: Being raised by a single mother could be framed as a story of strength and perseverance. It sends a message that she overcame challenges and adversity, which aligns with the ideal of the "American Dream." Empathy and Values: It underscores her empathy and her connection to ordinary people's struggles, showing that she understands the challenges of making ends meet, raising children, and juggling responsibilities. Appeal to Women and Family Values: This background would also resonate with women and families, especially those who value hard work, sacrifice, and raising children under challenging circumstances. It might strengthen her appeal to both working-class voters and family-focused conservatives. Possible Risks: Stereotypes and Misconceptions: There’s a small chance that certain groups might try to use the single mother narrative against her, framing it as a sign of a "broken family" or suggesting that she doesn’t understand traditional family dynamics. However, this can be easily countered with the right rhetoric about family values, love, and community. Overall, this background would likely bolster her image as a compassionate, strong, and relatable leader. Would you like to craft how she might talk about this part of her life in speeches or interviews? 4o You said: what if she said she had a second mother (a babysitter) who also cared for her ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Including a "second mother" (a babysitter who helped raise her) could strengthen the character’s narrative even more, emphasizing themes of community, support networks, and the idea that it takes more than just family to succeed. Here’s how this could enhance her story: How It Can Help: Strengthens Relatability: The concept of being cared for by a "second mother" is relatable to many working families who rely on caregivers or extended family for support. It reflects the reality that community plays a vital role in raising children, especially for single-parent households. Underscores Her Humility and Gratitude: By acknowledging this babysitter’s role in her upbringing, she shows humility and gratitude, characteristics that make her more appealing and grounded. It also highlights her connection to ordinary working people, including caregivers and domestic workers, giving them recognition. Reinforces the Importance of Community: It provides a strong message that success is not just about individual achievement but also about community and the support structures that help people thrive. This can be powerful for voters who value family and social cohesion. Appeal to Broader Audiences: This could appeal to progressive voters who advocate for recognizing the contributions of underpaid and underappreciated labor (like caregiving and babysitting), as well as more conservative voters who value family and community support systems. Messaging Strategy: When she talks about this, it could sound like this: Speech/Interview Example: “I was lucky enough to have not one, but two incredible women in my life. My mother, who worked tirelessly to give me everything she could, and another woman—my babysitter—who became like a second mother to me. It’s because of them that I’m here today. They taught me that no one gets through life alone, that community and care are just as important as hard work. We are all stronger together when we lift each other up.” Potential Risks: Overemphasis on Support: Some critics might try to twist this to suggest she’s dependent on others or needed “extra help,” but this could be framed positively as an example of how strong women rely on each other and build communities. Would you like to integrate this idea into her overall narrative or focus on how to shape her relationship with specific voter groups? 4o You said: What if she said that her second mother was a small business owner ChatGPT said: ChatGPT If her "second mother" was a small business owner, it adds another powerful layer to the narrative. It aligns her with entrepreneurial values, independence, and the American Dream—qualities that resonate across many voter demographics. Here's how this twist can amplify her appeal: How It Enhances Her Appeal: Championing Small Business Owners: Small business owners are a significant and influential group of voters. By highlighting that her second mother was a small business owner, she positions herself as someone who understands the struggles and triumphs of entrepreneurship, such as long hours, financial risks, and the drive to succeed. American Dream Embodiment: This adds to the narrative of hard work and perseverance. It frames her upbringing as not just being about overcoming challenges, but also being surrounded by role models who embodied the American Dream—people who built something from the ground up, even in difficult circumstances. Appeals to Independence and Self-Sufficiency: It emphasizes themes of independence and self-sufficiency, which appeal to both conservative and moderate voters. Her "second mother" represents the ideal of a person who didn’t rely on government assistance but took control of her destiny by running a business. Job Creation and Community Impact: By mentioning that her babysitter was a small business owner, she can tie in broader themes of community impact and job creation, showing that small businesses are the backbone of communities, providing jobs, services, and local investment. Messaging Example: Speech/Interview Example: “The woman who helped raise me wasn’t just my babysitter—she was a small business owner. She worked every day to keep her business going, not just for her family but for our entire community. Watching her taught me the value of hard work, independence, and what it means to create something from the ground up. Small businesses are the heart of this country, and I will always fight for them, because they fought for me.” Key Benefits: Economic Credibility: This gives her credibility on economic issues, especially concerning policies that affect small businesses, like taxes, regulations, and access to capital. Appeal to Entrepreneurs and the Middle Class: Entrepreneurs and middle-class voters may relate to the narrative of small business ownership and the challenges that come with it, making her seem like someone who understands their needs. Potential Risks: Careful Framing: She needs to avoid romanticizing small business ownership without acknowledging its hardships. Acknowledging both the struggles and rewards would make the story more authentic and grounded. Policy Tie-In: This background could be woven into her policy proposals, particularly around economic issues like: Small Business Tax Breaks: Proposing tax incentives for small businesses, especially those owned by women or minorities. Reducing Red Tape: Simplifying regulations for small businesses to make it easier for them to thrive. Access to Capital: Advocating for better access to loans and grants for small businesses. Would you like to explore how this could influence her policy positions or how she could deliver this message in debates or interviews

Classic Trump supporter, couldnt read anything after point bullet number 2. Trump is the definition of a demagogue who only uses emotion (namely fear, anger, tribalism instead of hope and optimism) to win votes, instead of policy.
He's "America first" but when it comes down to the specifics, all he's got are "concepts of a plan". It's a joke. You've been fooled.

No but you might be. I clearly wasn't saying he wrote the text. I said the original poster didn't read most of the AI generated text, or at least willfully ignored it, because it describes Dump to a T.
The US economy is absolutely booming (and accelerating)
all normal! Dems create a boom and the Rs destroy it with their insane economics and worldview. Imagine Trump walking into the WH in January and by slapping tariffs on everything gives China no reason NOT to invade Taiwan, and at the same time Trump cuts off all aid to Ukraine AND slaps tariffs on our European allies trying to stop the Russian advance.
What a stupid, stupid country we are. Shooting ourselves in the foot time after time.
Giving up 3.4% real GDP growth because they taught you to hate immigrants and city people. Idiots. Absolute idiots.
Federal Reserve:
The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third quarter of 2024 is 3.4 percent on October 17, up from 3.2 percent on October 9.

If it is more than a few sentences a Trumphumper won't read it. Examples: constant barrage of X posts here that have no basis in reality as if they were facts like pics of muscular Trump with machine gun accusing Harris of starting WWIII. Posting Chatgpt garbage as if it were facts, then not reading or realizing it says the candidate would manufacture controversy to get headlines = Trump 24/7.
1) You Trumpers like to talk about "policy." The "path to socialism" is nothing more than a policy discussion. It's a continuum. You can be more socialistic, or less. Our current system CERTAINLY has elements of socialism (and ones you'd NEVER give up). People elect politicians, and then politicians argue about where to be on that continuum (and a million other things). That's not undemocratic, at all.
2) Fascism. We don't have policy discussions, and voters don't get to choose who will decide. The Orange POS does whatever he wants. The antithesis of democracy.
Can your very small mind see the rather large difference?
You Bidenettes like to talk about "policy", but all of his policies have failed.
Fascism. Yes, the dementia POS was the antithesis of democracy. Remind yourself once again what that POS did on day 1 in office. Are you that dense or just biased to an unhealthy level. Did you forget 2016-2020? You libs can't even please yourselves but you continue to spew lies.
