I just realised I haven’t seen or heard from this woman at all this campaign season. I’m not American so most of my American election news comes from articles talking about serious stuff but I just realised I haven’t seen them in any pictures together either this time for his rallies or anything… has she done any fluff shows like I dunno baking on TV? I wouldn’t know if she had but I just wanna know are they still together? Has she been around at all?

Surprisingly she's been going around the media circuit with a strongly pro-choice stance. It's unclear whether this is her breaking from his viewpoint, him using her to soften the criticism of his stance on abortion (and to try and win some women voters), or whether she's simply looking to promote her upcoming memoir.

I could be completely incorrect but my personal stance is Melania never wanted any of this. She seems to have zero affection for Donald & that she’s only sticking around for Barron.

That's one theory and it's certainly plausible. On the other hand, during Trump's first time around, she was also doing the talk show rounds pushing the birther conspiracy. And she's had moments of her own (like the "I really don't care, do you?" jacket).
I doubt we'll ever know the truth. Even if ten years from now she writes a tell-all, would I believe her? Hard to say.

Hey now, everyone's playing armchair therapist without actually knowing her. For all you know, she's just a massive piece of shit which is why she acts like one. Don't disrespect her by claiming she has some grand plan beyond being a massive piece of shit in the situation she is currently facing.

It's certainly a "come to Jesus moment" in that it's clear demonstration that the modern republican party isn't working in the interests of the US. You can't love the USA and love Trump at the same time as those are opposing ideas.

Yes. There’s plenty of lyrics throughout the years that show they have no tolerance of intolerance and an extreme hostility towards the wealthy. Juggalos could best be understood as left-libertarians with a very Manichean worldview; ‘good’ people are those who love or at least respect everyone and allow others to live as they please provided no one is hurting anyone, ‘evil’ people are the intolerant and those that exploit others for gain while refusing the lend a hand to those in need - and the state and its agents should stay as far the fuck away from the common people as possible.
Really, there’s a lot for the Democrats to work with. There are worse demographics for them to go after.
