The Dwindle Swindle<\/b><\/p>\n

Despite media impressions, the far right is collapsing<\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a meme making the rounds on social media these days that addresses the true state of Trump\u2019s popularity. There are variations, but it basically goes like this: \u201cAs an experiment, I had my daughter wear a \u2018Trump 2020\u2019 T shirt to see what sorts of reactions the shirt might provoke. So far she\u2019s been cursed at, spit upon, and had garbage thrown at her. I\u2019m wondering what the reactions will be like when she leaves the house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the efforts of the for-profit media to prop up the Trump campaign, the fact is that polls show that fully 60% of all voters don\u2019t want Trump back<\/a> in the White House under any circumstance. The Marist National Poll for National Public Radio and PBS<\/a> NewsHour was conducted in March, before the 72 indictments were issued. According to Newsweek, \u201cThe Marist poll found 76 percent of Republicans<\/a> do want Trump to run for a second term, with just 21 percent disagreeing, indicating he has a good chance of clinching the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination. By contrast, 89 percent of Democrats<\/a> and 64 percent of independents don’t want Trump to run again, nor do 41 percent of those identified as \u2018white Evangelical Christians,\u2019 a group that has become increasingly lukewarm<\/a> towards the Republican front-runner.\u201d Even Fox News reported on the poll.<\/p>\n

That 60% reject Trump out of hand would seem insurmountable. But not to the ratings-hungry media, to whom Trump is catnip.<\/p>\n

Yes, the Trumpster has a big lead among Republicans. But Republicans only make up 36 million out of the 127 million voters who have to declare party affiliation, running well behind second-place independents. And that was in mid 2022. Their numbers have shrunk since then as the party has been taken over by fringe lunatics on the far right who push such wildly unpopular ideas as banning abortion and birth control, bringing back segregation and child labor, and getting rid of Social Security and minimum wage.<\/p>\n

Yes, Trump could win the primaries, even though he\u2019ll be on trial for at least some of that period, and will in all likelihood be facing hundreds of new indictments for anything up to and including insurrection and sedition. Depending on the nature of those documents he stole, and who he showed them to, he might even be facing charges of actions injurious to the national interests <\/span>(the closest possible charge to treason in peacetime)<\/span>. <\/span>The general election would be the biggest slaughter in presidential elections since 1936.<\/p>\n

It is fun watching the right\u2014the ones sane enough to spot the looming disaster\u2014race in panicked circles. Maria Bartiromo, who has at least learned to lie about entities that won\u2019t sue her such as the FBI and DoJ, told Ron DeSantis (NSDAP-Florida) that he couldn\u2019t win because the DoJ and FBI were out to destroy him. That would be the Deep Statetm<\/sup>. The one that is trying to destroy Trump. (How do you destroy Trump? Let him speak.)<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not exactly clear on how the Deep State will finish Trump by destroying his main rival in the primaries, but I\u2019m sure Maria has it all figured out. Jewish space lasers and electronic mind control devices hidden in COVID vaccines, no doubt.<\/p>\n

Trump keeps self-sabotaging, and in increasingly stupid ways. His lawyers keep deserting him because he is the client from hell who can\u2019t keep his mouth shut and keeps self-incriminating. He cheats and betrays his allies at the faintest sign of what he considers disloyalty, real or imagined. He breaks promises blatantly, publicly, and for no good reason. For example, he went into an eatery on his birthday and promised food for everyone there, and then promptly left, leaving angry patrons and a dismayed restaurant staff hanging. I can only surmise that he thought the media would only cover the generous promise and not follow up, even though, given his track record, reporters would be doing exactly that in search of a juicier news story.<\/p>\n

The far right is similarly self-destructively confused. Moms For Liberty (AKA \u2018Twatzies\u2019, \u2018Ku Klux Karens\u2019 or \u2018Housewives for Hitler\u2019) spearhead the Moment of Hate campaigns against the LGBTQ community, trans-gendered kids in particular, and have become the face of book banning. The various Nazi militia groups that formed the backbone of Trump\u2019s attempted coup on January 6th<\/sup> vacillate between calling for a nationwide uprising and pretending they had nothing to do with Jan 6 and what\u2019s more, Trump deluded them into it. Republican politicians keep trying to out-Nazi one another, the most visible (but not necessarily the worst) being Ron DeSantis. His reign in Florida is so grotesquely fascistic that hundreds of thousands have already fled the state, and millions more are seriously contemplating it. Even the Floridians who don\u2019t mind his authoritarianism, bigotry and cruelty are becoming aware that he is going to destroy Florida\u2019s economy. (If German corporations had stood up to Hitler instead of trying to use him to their own ends, Hitler would have been just a small footnote in history. US Corporations take note.)<\/p>\n

Like a gravely wounded predator, the far right is in a frenzy, chewing on its own entrails. They have the potential to be fantastically dangerous, but in the end, they are self-doomed.<\/p>\n

Remember the 60% of voters reject Trump poll, and ignore the contrived horse race media self-promotion. The fact is, a large majority of people don\u2019t want Trump, or his deplorable following.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
