Maybe there's a video, maybe there's not.
But nobody is saying "No way! Trump would never do that!" or "This is a shocking scandal that nobody would have believed!"
That's the sad reality of it. The sadder part is that, even if it's true, his cult still won't care.
And, of course, the minor being groped won't see any justice.
I think what's even sadder is that so-called moderates and centrists won't care. Trump didn't win in 2016 due to his cult. He won because everyday people recognized how fucked up he was and decided they didn't care.
And don't forget the "huhuhuhuh imma vote for him as a joke, bro" crowd.
There are a lot of people who went for Trump in 2016 that he's never going to get back again. The "I only voted for him as a joke because I thought he had no chance and I didn't like Clinton as a candidate" folks are real. I know one in real life and he's very repentant. Voted for Biden in 2020 and will be voting for Harris this November.
He's no longer an unknown quantity, so people voting for him because they were giving him the benefit of the doubt have had an entire Trump term to have that doubt stripped away. I think they'll avoid making that mistake again, just like they avoided it in 2020.
Then there's the accelerationists who thought voting Trump in would be the quickest way to bring about a rapid collapse of the shitty duopoly and convince both parties that they need to reevaluate their platforms. As it turns out, it just dragged both parties even further right, so those guys can safely stay home knowing that handing Trump a second term isn't going to further their agenda in the slightest.
I'm sure there were a lot of people who were just duped with misinformation and bullshit, and I hope those guys still remember how they were tricked last time and vote accordingly.
Lastly, I still believe that there are American voters out there who drew lines in the sand, said they were uncrossable, and meant it. Things like staging a coup to remain in power, getting impeached twice, threatening to end the constitution, and threatening to use the military against his political opponents. Those people have to step up to the plate now more than ever.
If lemmy comments are anything to go by, they haven't learned.
Thankfully those only voted Trump in 2016 and quickly found it wasn't funny
There are plenty of kids who just turned 18 this year. They were 9 when Trump began his first campaign, and certainly don't remember any political reality before it.
I don't think enough of them will be voting for lols this time to matter, but it's worth noting that every electorate for every election is distinct.
That was my reading in 2016 -- before the election, I realized that the "thrill vote" would go to Trump, and the average folks were going to sit it out because Hillary Clinton couldn't energize anybody.
I'm getting a lot of those feelings around KH too. I just hope folks come out for the anti-Trump vote, at least.
"Finally getting Trump out of the News Cycle" isn't motivating!?!
Do you honestly believe he'll be out of the news cycle if he loses?
Yes actually, well he wouldn't be in it as much as if he were the President (...again)
Actually given his advanced age and delirium I wouldn't be surprised if the loudest news stories besides "He did 1/6 again..." and "Trump Voters don't approve of Kamela, I wonder what reason totally not related to her skintone it could be, let's just ignore the elephant in the room like we did with questioning why they didn't like Obama back when they were the Tea Party" would be...
"He had a stroke and choked on a hamberder"
I'm only being slightly cynical since he's doing shit like falling asleep at rallies, this man's body is trying to die and he's fighting it to run for President. That's a man on borrowed time if I ever saw it. It's also a man who has nothing to lose and is a heartbeat away from putting Vance in charge, both of those are scary potential realities if he's President.
Not only that, she'll get death threats.
I grabbed her titty. She asked me too. With a tear in her eye she said please please please Mr. Trump touch my titty. I obligated. I couldn't help it. I had to. She was so innocent. It was a perfect titty touch.

"When it comes to fondling tits, everyone tells me I'm the best - that's what they all tell me. I can't help it - I see a beautiful woman and I have to do it, and they let me, you know, because I'm famous and they love it, they'll let you do whatever you want. My friend Jeffrey Epstein always said that, and boy we had a lot of fun, he really knew how to find em, the greatest most beautiful young women, whenever we wanted we'd grab em and kiss em and anything else, though none of them could compare to my beautiful Ivanka... anyway Alexa play Ave Maria"
As hard as it is to listen to talk radio it's also kind of fun to catch the nuances in their bullshit. Someone accuses Trump of praising Hitler and immediately they say, "Wow! This is such a desperate play from the Democrats!"
I hate the man and I'm saying I don't think he's this stupid. He wants to get re-elected too much to do something so reckless.
Has he assaulted other women? No fucking doubt. But not two weeks from the election at a campaign event with a ton of reporters around him. It's not believable.
