This is (hopefully) the pattern in election outcomes... [View all]
2016: Djt won by a nose, with the push by the E.C., when most Americans didn't know much about him, but had an illusion created by media (especially the 'Apprentice' tv show) that he was a savvy, generous and socially glamorous tycoon. The only scandal was the Access p***y grabbing brag.
2020: Djt's presidency nationally exposed him as a Muslim ban promoter; a bigot who permitted violence against and derided mostly peaceful protests against racist police brutality: a liar who denied the seriousness of Covid and recklessly refused to enforce masking and vaccines, resulting in many millions of deaths.
He then did everything, including via illegal means, to undermine the loss of his re-election, culminating in the violent attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, by his angry supporters.
2024: Djt had been indicted for numerous offenses, including Jan.6, hoarding and hiding classified documents after leaving office, assault of E.J.Carroll, business fraud and bribery, and finally, convicted on 34 felony counts and facing sentencing for the 'Stormy Daniels' payments case.
Now America has seen the unfiltered Djt. Unlike 2016, he is no longer the 'Apprentice' character or the 'swinging, charming playboy' pictured in supermarket tabloids...He is a convicted criminal, his racism and xenophobia are exponentially worse and more explicit...and his mental deterioration has become too familiar on the national stage.
Lastly, and most importantly, a young, vibrant, brilliant and experienced prosecutor has become his rival in the 2024 election.
The pattern has gone from edging a win in 2016 as an illusive playboy/tycoon ... to a bumbling, racist fraud in 2024 who -- if an overwhelming majority of women, people of color and new voters choose Harris -- will lose this election and finally face the fate he is due.
