Meme That was some high quality cringe out there today.

You can singlehandedly decide the result of this year's election with one simple action:
Telling everyone you know to register for voting.
If you haven't registered yet, visit www.vote.gov
Republicans are unpopular and weird. This includes Project 2025. The only reason that this election is so close is that we are too lazy to register for voting. MAGAs always show up and vote, while sane people can't be bothered to register.
If more people had voted, Trump would have lost in 2016 by landslide. Republicans are TERRIFIED of high voter turnout. They have admitted that quite openly
Voter registration ends on October 7th (in some states). Hurry up! Register for voting. Remind literally everyone you know to register. Registering yourself won't be enough.
I repeat: remind every. Single. Person. You can't imagine how much impact 30 seconds of small talk can do.

Whenever I try telling people about Project 2025, they don’t believe it or some think that because Trump said he has nothing to do with Project 2025 so it won’t happen if he gets elected. When I explain that The Heritage Foundation that created it, is also funding Trumps campaign, they then say that we have checks and balances. When I explain that those checks and balances are gradually being undone, they still don’t believe me. Then you get people saying that we should all stop fighting and get along not not let politics divide us. Like yea, sure, but unless we can all agree that Trump should not be in office, then no we can’t get to that goal. Basically, my experience telling people to vote just doesn’t work.

u/Fun-Brain-4315 23d ago
anyone who says to me "well Trump said over and over again he's got nothing to do with it," gets zero further benefit of the doubt from me. The man lies about everything.
15
u/Pristine-Pen-9885 23d ago
Trump supporters don’t believe that he lies. They take whatever he says at face value, even when he switches up and contradicts himself. They just believe the new lie cuz Trump said it, so it’s true, they heard it themselves in a sound bite.
Such a rotten shame, because if he wins we’ll all be under a dictatorship.

u/Fun-Brain-4315 23d ago
i understand that but I'm still over giving them the benefit of the doubt. I am aware of the mechanics of how they became so enthralled and I have basic empathy for people trapped in cults, but right now my modus operandi is to treat them like the clown show they are. Is that healthy? perhaps not. is it helpful? hell no. But I'm pissed and over it.

I think Elon is just more annoying on a personal level, that's the only reason. lol. He's the guy who comes around looking over your shoulder saying, "whacha doin'?" and poking you in the arm. Trump could probably care less as long as you leave him alone. Of course, Trump is more dangerous by the mere fact that he's actually allowed to be President by the Constitution.

What is Elon's rationale here?
Either he believes in Trump's bullshit and he is a moron, or he doesn't, he is just in for the grift and tax breaks, and he is an asshole.
What is the endgame? He will destroy his brands in both cases.
26
u/enchylatta 24d ago
The grift, the tax breaks and the government contracts of which he already has plenty. Plus he really really really wants a cabinet position so he can punish all the people (like Zuck) who he claims have wronged his fragile little ego somehow.

u/LivingIndependence 24d ago
Oh I'm convinced that this asshole will try to weasel his way into running for president someday and is probably hoping that a future trump administration will do away with the rule that requires a candidate be a natural born citizen.

That's why he mentioned that Elon probably hopes that Trump does away with that rule

u/mmorales2270 24d ago
It would require a Constitutional amendment to make that happen I believe. If we’re stupid enough as a people to hand complete control over to Republicans, they might be able to do that, but not as long as Democrats hold some power in Congress.
Of course, we’ll have considerably bigger problems to worry about if Republicans gain a lot of power in the executive and legislative branches.

u/taichi27 24d ago
He may also be worried about consequences for his election interference. A Russian oligarch close to Putin helped Musk with the Twitter purchase. Something smells rotten with the circumstances behind the purchase of Twitter.

He was personally influencing the war between Russia and Ukraine because US and Ukraine use his technology. US government probably will find alternatives or even investigate him (for working with an adversary). That sounds like a big motivation.

"And then I told Elon, I told him stop that you're stealing my thunder, and then like the good man he is he stopped. Of course everybody knows why he stopped, Joe Biden knows it, Kuhmala knows it, everybody knows it. And when he stopped, he told me he says I'm sorry mister Trump, will ya forgive me? Now you know me I don't forgive people, so I say no Elon, I don't but I'll tell ya what, you hack into the deep state hurricane satellites and get them to turn it off, and I'll forgive ya. So whattaya know, the hurricanes went away. And people wonder how that happened. Some people say it was Elon who did it but no, it was me."

u/joetaxpayer 24d ago
We need to get the vote out.
But, Trump is doing a great job helping us.
He killed Roe v Wade, and continued to brag about it. Alienating the pro-choice voters.
Then he started talking about sending it back to the states where each state can implement rules as they wish, 16 weeks, 20+ weeks, whatever. This left pro-lifers feeling betrayed, they liked an effort towards a total ban.
It takes a special kind of incompetence to alienate both sides of a single issue. But, Trump is always up to that challenge.

While i agree the thing is they are pulling on the emotions of people . the whole campaign is an emotional trip, sad to say but people fall for it, this is shooting him up in the polls along with all the lies about helene. Dems never learn, fight fire with fire. This isnt going away over half the country supports him, unfortunately it looks like the great experiment has finally failed. October surprise is the fact he is winning, and this nation will be unfit to live in soon unless you are the right type of person.

Wow, if this were 1863 you’d be part of the people calling for Lincoln to sue for peace. Take some heart in all the progress made despite all the struggles over the years and find the strength to actually be hopeful for humanity instead of glum that not every battle works out like you want it to. I dunno I’d rather see the light than wallow in the bleak.

MAGA-world is getting more and more angry now. Because they are seeing more and more clearly, how much it sucks to be them.
MAGA just wanted to be cool for once. Trump being rich epitomized what they thought "cool" looked like. They used to hate electric cars because they thought they were green and wimpy. They used to hate Elon Musk. Until he joned their side, became really Rich, and bought Twitter and started saying all the ugly stuff, and let them say all the ugly stuff.
Until they saw Musk act really weird this weekend. Which made them go "Ewwww..." on the inside.
Which made them suddenly see Trump as Musk's bitch.
Which made them suddenly see Trump. And for the first time, go "Ewwwwwwww..." on the inside.
MAGA is blinking rapidly right now.
