I think we can assume there is a lot of foreign influence going on too.

As microsoft says

“With a particular focus on the 48 hours before and after Election Day, voters, government institutions, candidates, and parties must remain vigilant against deceptive and suspicious activity online. Early detection and fact-checking remain essential to countering these efforts and maintaining election integrity. “

According to Anthony Scaramucci, MAGA have been manipulating the narrative in the following ways.

1. MAGA billionaires have thrown a lot of money behind Trump on the betting markets to give the impression that he is a massive favourite.

2. Trump and MAGA are talking about a ‘landslide’ setting up the ‘election was stolen’ narrative for if Kamala Harris wins.

3. The twitter algorithms have been reprogrammed to give the impression that Trump is going to win big and has huge support.

Now, clearly Trump DOES have huge support, in fact he may have the majority of the backing in America but will his people (low IQ, working class, white, heterosexual men) get out and vote?

Unfortunately for Trump, this demographic does not normally vote in numbers. Whether they forget which day they are meant to vote, don’t know where or how to vote or just can’t be bothered to get off their fat American asses, who knows?

What could be telling though is if the media Trump’s supporters are consuming is telling them it’s going to be a demolition of Harris; they might think that Trump probably doesn’t need their vote and they can concentrate on their consumption of twinkies and the like.

Yes I see where you're failing here. You probably don't realise that Hannibal Lecter is from Silence of the Lambs. I mean, who the hell else would even remember that, but Trump has a great memory.

You not familiar with the origin of that term, Trig?

Yes, but I feel the term has moved on since then. Like the origin of the term idiot is also bad, but it's not offensive any more. I certainly mean no offense re the origin when I use it.

Oh no, I have no idea of the origin of berk. These days berk seem like a light-hearted term, the sort of thing Del Boy would say.

Hilarious. Trump rally Cameraman, fact checks his bullshit about never having any empty seats in real time!

In clips that I've seen, he keeps wanging on about things "coming to an end" after nine years, etc (that included the time he was in charge) and the rallies will be over.

So does he think he's going to lose, or does he seriously expect people to think that he won't carry on droning to dwindling crowds for the next four years, if he's elected?

As I've said SO many times - a number so bigly I can't even remember it - he is SUCH an odd bloke. The mad thing is, there are loads of people that accept - and repeat - the bullshit he comes out with. In some ways, I'm genuinely impressed with the cult he has created 😂😂

Oh blimey.

Yes, he is indeed that. Although the video clip we were commenting was highlighting his incredible lack of intelligence, as opposed how nasty a person he is.

I shall try to use berk more often 🤔
