      his base which is a very loud minority of the people aka not the person who win you elections. tell the low information voter in september and october that trump owes $88 million to one person for sexually assaulting her and lying about it and $450 million for cheating on his taxes and lying to get bank loans and don’t be shocked if one of the red wall states flips in november.

          Just look at what happened with Ken Paxton. Indicted for securities fraud, and they still let him be AG. Fuck this state.

        The issue with the low information voter is that it cuts both ways for them. Republicans just have to make Biden seem like a terrible option and those low information voters simply will not turn out to vote. Then you only have highly motivated voters turning out. That is essentially what happened in 2016. Hell, even with how terrible Trump was during his presidency, our electoral system meant that he only lost by 44k votes total across three states in 2020. If those Democrats were not motivated to go to the polls, the electoral college would have been tied and Trump would have been given the presidency. What motivated a lot of people in 2020 was hatred of Trump which was fresh on their mind. That is not the case this year. Four years have passed without him fucking so much up.
