I would rather have Trump's opposition overestimate him than underestimate him, so more people are sufficiently motivated to vote against him.

Nothing like seeing a Republican ad with a bunch of em all dressed like Trump that says - "Democrats have lost their minds." Really? Interesting..

[Alright]

We don’t do polls and we vote for democracy. The silent majority.

Instead of "CHILDREN OF THE CORN" its "CHILDREN OF THE CON".

[joeharris]

Imagine living in a world where we get to talk about issues like adults instead of blaming demonic forces for our problems. Wouldn't that be dope?

A wife who agreed her husband is innocent would be there.

The last time I saw courtroom spectators dressing and acting in unity to show support for the defendant, it was Charlie Manson on trial.

Please, PLEASE can we not underestimate Trump and his cult again, PLEASE? Even if it's true his base is weaker now, can we just act like he's in a powerful position? I'd rather we overreact to his threat than underreact.

I love these long form segments with Digby!

This whole thing with Trump has been like living inside a badly written TV mini-series.
Except that nobody could make this stuff up. It's just too stupid.

[scottf]

It's always cool when Digby is on.

Give some props to the guy with the BOOT LICKERS sign 🤭

I live in a rural area and I'm seeing remarkably few Trump flags flying. People might still show up for him but they are a lot quieter than they were in the past.

[kimwelch]

You know, the "Family" showed up for Charles Manson's trial. They acted about the same way.

[Starghost]

The red ties and the blue suits is just too much😂😂😂 what the hell is wrong with these people??

The photo at 12.26: it’s like The Last Supper, but at a clown school.

YUP! I voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 but i AM NOT voting for him in 2024! I was even in front of the Capital Building on January 6th.
I jumped off the Trump Train after he abandoned his populist supporters and publicly embraced Christian Nationalism and Anti-Trans rhetoric.
Since leaving MAGA ive also come to realize Conservative ideology is not what i was told it was, doesn't help the people I was told it helps, and didnt accomplish the things I was told it accomplished.
I come from a Blood Red State and was indoctrinated by the public highschool education system to believe in the glories of capitalism and the founding fathers...Now I'm an Ex-Conservative, Ex-MAGA Republican, turned Marxist democrat. I am a Right Winger's nightmare made manifest 😂

[phylpott]

Shouldn't these hopefuls be at work? Isn't that what we pay them for?

[benjaminhorwitz]

Tell me it’s a cult without telling me.

I heard the jurors are irritated by the Congressional VIPs in the Courtroom.
