Own what? That Trump is so self-evidently shit that some of his theoretical fellow travellers endorsed the other one?
For Putin specifically I mean, if anyone actually believes he wants Harris to win, I have some very exciting time share opportunities I’d love to extend.

I have no issues with slow courts... Due dilligence is very important.
I have an issue with how long it took for Trump finally being indicted for Jan 6th. It took two and a half years for the whole process to even start. Thats why it's still nowhere. All while he was campaigning and "his" court decided that a president can basically do whatever the fuck he wants.
August 1, 2023: A federal grand jury indicted Trump over his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and the events leading up to the January 6 Capital riot.
What happens if he's found guilty on all charges but he is now president? Assuming he wouldn't immediatly shut down the investigation, which he will surely do.

I will gladly own up to the fact that Trump is so bad even white supremacists and arch-conservatives would rather vote for a socialist democrat then him.

The sheer number of bad actors (as you put "theoretical fellow travellers" because it's more convenient to ignore the reasons why they aren't "fellow travellers," kind of like how my theoretical wife turned down my proposal right) moving away from Drumpf towards Harris has been a beautiful sight to behold.
Only TDS can make leftists carefully consider the measured and rational opinions of... *checks notes* white supremacists.

Not actually the white supremacist has a good argument here, let's take a closer look.

Also, following this logic, we should just get GH to endorse Trump. Surely you wouldn't vote for the guy that a revolutionary socialist likes?

Nobody’s buying what you’re selling, it’s so disingenuous it’s untrue
If I’d have classed them as ‘fellow travellers’ without the ‘theoretical distinction’ I’d be subjected to some 3 paragraph treatise about Trump having black friends, or that he’s not literally HitlerTM
Who’s saying white supremacists are making good arguments? :S

Just stop, your excuses are getting embarrassing. White supremacists endorsing Harris because even Trump's fascism doesn't convince them to vote for Trump is not an attack on Harris supporters, it only exposes Trump for how much of a trashbag he is. He can't even convince his whole ideological base. That's the only takeaway here.

Must be a pretty poor white supremacist, I agree.
Totally agree with you oBlade, and I think this White Supremacist In Name Only is not going to fool any of the true white supremacist's. Only SWINOs would care about competency. All the real deal white supremacists will continue to support Trump just to prove their bona fides by supporting the most incompetent presidential candidate ever, over some biracial woman. Logic and ability be damned, the whole philosophy requires pretending that whites are superior. If you are not going to do it now when it is so obvious the other way and so public, than you are a SWINO.
Good call oBlade, you keep your support with the true white supremacist's, screw those turn coat SWINOs. Better to have America in the dumps losing all the international clout they have built up for the past century and turn this economy back into the toilet than admit Harris is way more competent.
Way to stick to your values.

I can see his point though, DJT is no posterchild for any ideology you really want to further. He's a clown, obviously very uneducated, a liar and narcissist.

Edit: What's most worrying to me about the orange man is his irrational long lasting vindictiveness. From Liz Cheney over Obama to the offshore windmills at his golf course in Scotland. He can't let it go. That's also why he hates my country so much: 2 failed Trump Tower projects (Frankfurt and Stuttgart). Fascinating story, attempted money laundering in plain sight but local officials called him out.

Here's my final 2024 prediction map. The key: Light shade = <2%, Medium Shade = 2-5%, and Dark shade = >5%.
I'm going to choose to believe the Selzer poll, but not entirely. I think Trump is going to outperform the remaining undecided voter there and it's going to be another Bush vs Kerry 2004 incident where Kerry barely lost the state. I think this will also signal other states like NC and GA that they will fall for Harris, which I predict will roughly be +1.5% Harris when all is said and done.
Some other notables, the Selzer poll also would signal some more competitive races in Florida and Texas, which I expect to become closer this year than previous years, with both predicted to be +4% Trump.
Rust Belt should go to Harris +3% or so. Nevada and Arizona are on the cusp at around 2%.
Bellweathers for tomorrow: Virginia. I fully expect Harris to win this state by over 5 points, and an early call like in 2020 is going to be good news for her. Anything after 8-9pm ET, and Harris is going to be in for a long night. Also pay special attention to Ohio. Trump won the state +9 in 2020, but more polls have shown him around only +6-7 points. While I do expect Ohio to be called early, I think it's worth looking at the state for some bellweather forecast on the Rust Belt.

There’s probably some cafe in Buenos Aires where Hitler has spent the last 8 years frequently fuming about the comparison.
Yeah I think you’re bang on there, Trump doesn’t need to himself be a devoted fascist to enable those who are.
You allude to it in your post, what I consider probably Trump’s most dangerous attribute as a leader, his seemingly pathological need for absolute loyalty. Not a loyalty to party, country etc, but to him. You then combine that with his seeming lack of ideological convictions, and it’s a rather manipulable combo.
All you have to do is placate his ego and hey, you’re somewhat in favour now.
I mean consider the following hypothetical, (and no I’m keeping it simple and not adding a million and one caveats), which scenario do you think Trump himself would find preferable?:
1. The GOP as a broad conservative coalition, including influential figures within the tent who are critical of Trump.
2. The GOP pivots further right, to be full-blown Fascist, or in that ballpark but is slavishly loyal to the Donald.
As an aside, your point re personal slights is a very well-made one. I feel it’s not quite talked about enough. We’re not even always talking frosty interpersonal relations, or pettiness on minor issues, but quite considerable movement on big foreign policy that maps remarkably well onto ‘what country does Trump have some grudge against?’

I generally prefer to keep things civil and don't like pile-ons. Having said that, this whole series of posts just does not make sense to me. I agree that considering the source of the information is important -- but Spencer is not saying anything we didn't already know. He just realised during Trump's presidential term what everybody else had already figured out from the get-go.
Do you see why this is different from "considering the rational opinions of white supremacists"? Spencer is just parroting leftwing talking points, as you would put it if you were relaying this exchange to a fellow with similar political leanings as yourself.

The Putin relationship is the perfect example. The US is killing it because of Russia being sanctioned. The subsidies for Ukraine are a joke compared to the net profit the US economy gets becauses of energy prices over the last two years. That lie about the economy being better under Trump pisses me off so much.
Hopefully he won't make it, but if, i wanna see him deporting the cheap labor force while putting a 20% tarrif on imports and see how that works out for fixing inflation.

Much simpler read of this is "White supremacist decided that Kamala is better for White supremacists" Swing and a miss. See above. This is a deeply unserious topic. Oh no, only 99% of white supremacists back Trump, whereas 1% of them think he's too dumb to function so they're backing Harris instead. I guess Trump and Harris are now both equally terrible! Please.
Further to that, can you imagine Trumps best friend for over 10 years and grooming partner does not even have glowing things to say about the donald?
“With respect to real estate deals, he’s brilliant. He’s a salesman. He knows real estate really well,” Epstein said. “Anything else but that, he knows nothing. No history, no strategy…he can’t read a spreadsheet, which is funny.”
“He is charming; he is able to convince people,” Epstein said on tape. “It’s very much like Clinton. Both Bill and Donald have the ability to go over to a fat, ugly woman, say, ‘You are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.’ So, he tells everybody what they want to hear. And that is charming.”
“He does nasty things to his best friends, his best friends’ wives,” Epstein said on tape. “Anyone who he first tries to gain their trust, and then uses it to do bad things.”
https://www.thewrap.com/jeffrey-epstein-describes-donald-trump-as-his-closest-friend-for-10-years-in-latest-michael-wolff-tape/
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein-allegations-michael-wolff-podcast-1978434
Joke aside pretty creepy to hear the description that is way to specific to be made up from yet another absolutely horrible person in Trumps close orbit. And it is on tape.
"I think they saw themselves as embodying this moment, which was money, women, and status," Wolff said. "We now see Epstein as the sexual monster. But certainly, at least in Epstein's telling, he and Trump were, in this regard, brothers in arms."
"And in fact, in that classic money laundering setup, Trump bought the house for $40 million, bought it through borrowed money, and then the house was put on the market not long afterward and immediately sold for $96 million to one of the oligarchs in the close [Russian President Vladimir] Putin circle."
Wolff said that while interviewing Epstein, the financier would occasionally bring out dozens of photos of Trump from the late 1990s. Some of the photos featured Trump in Epstein's Palm Beach house surrounded by young women, added Wolff.
"And the young girls are topless, and in some of the pictures, they're sitting on his lap. And then there's one I especially remember where there's a telltale stain on the front of Trump's pants, and the girls are pointing at him and laughing," Wolff said.
