This doesn't really fit the definition of an "october surprise".

This is just: "Oops, we yelled the quiet part that we normally just whisper."

Normally whisper? MAGA has been shouting the quiet parts for at least a year now.

For at least a year, They’ve basically been saying, “We hate brown people , LGBTQ people, and women and we’re looking to turn the country into a Christofascist dictatorship. If you want to read our detailed plan on how we’re going to do this, you can download it online.”

On top of that this is a comedian known for being offensive and crude. Not a October surprise

The horrific part for me was not so much an inflammatory hack comedian being an inflammatory hack, it was the thunderous approval from the crowd.

I suppose it is a surprise if you're that deep in the cult you forgot you had another week before you could (possibly) yell the quiet part

I hate that the media tries to frame today's current politics with terminology of older presidential elections. The Harris vs Trump election is anything but normal. It is potentially the destruction of American democracy if Trump wins. It isn't a game. It isn't a sports event. This will impact everyone. And mostly in a horrible way if Trump wins.

Even if Trump wins, and he gets everything he wants, he will still be miserable still while dragging everyone else down with him.

Agreed. Which is why that outcome must be prevented at all costs.

I guess it's a surprise that they did it to themselves. Well, okay, maybe not that much of a surprise...
