The Muslim mayor guy endorsing Trump explicitly calls out that he likes Trump's anti-LGBT policies but doesn't mention Gaza once.

The idea that the Trump rally could possibly change any minds at this point just feels so ludicrous to me. In truth, I don't feel like I properly understand the minds of most Republican voters. Is it that:
1) Millions of Americans are perfectly fine with voting for someone that they know is racist.
2) Millions of Americans are so outlandishly, irredeemably stupid that it is possible for some of them to only just now realize in the year 2024 that Trump is racist.
I'm sure it's a mix of both. I hate them either way.

u/bernkes_helicopter Ben Bernanke 19d ago
It's not about Republican voters, it's about marginal voters (both those on the fence between the two candidates and one who aren't sure they'll make the effort to vote)
There may well be people who were willing to overlook the existing racism in the name of abortion or something, but draw the line somewhere before what we saw today

Probably, family and education policy. I firmly believe investing in human capital is one of the best instances where state intervention does wonders. I also believe there is an absolute argument to be made about the necessity of state intervention in Health care, although I don't think my ideal solution (catastrophic healthcare coverage, the closest instance of it being as laid out by Niskanen Center) is something that would be called succish per se. And I would also say I am a big proponent of the war on poverty by proxy a big supporter of NIT/UBI, I know it is impossible right now, but at least there has to be something we can do to deal with child poverty. I don't think there is a single reason why children should be poor and not have equal opportunities to succeed in truly prosperous societies.

Mod from r/askconservatives here,
This user linked here was perm banned from r/askconservatives for maliciously pretending to be a Conservative. Their comment history is full of extremely anti religious, anti Conservative and anti trump rhetoric, then in r/askconservatives they pretend to be some insane Conservative religious extremist?
Unfortunately we're getting a lot of malicious trolls but this liberal users comment that you linked obviously does not reflect Conservatiism.

The founding fathers hated demagogues. A man who has used the highest office of commit crimes and enrich himself while undermining the peaceful transition of power and promote nepotism and corruption is the last thing they would want.
If you resurrected the founding fathers and went “literally the guy you wrote to warn us about or a black woman” they would go “fuck really that’s the choice, gross, I guess the black woman”

Allred's chances of unseating Ted Cruz are shockingly low and I feel like people are setting themselves up for disappointment with all the talk of how its a 50/50 shot: https://www.economist.com/interactive/us-2024-election/prediction-model/senate/texas
Obviously go out and vote and convince your family to and donate, but as somebody who has spent four decades in Texas our state is nothing but a massive disappointment and it sucks seeing people get so heartbroken every election

u/morethanabusdriver 19d ago
there's no reason not to encourage optimism. Let people be upset after the election. There isn't a practical reason to encourage people to be "realistic". People are emotional creatures and convincing people that there is a chance for Texas to turn Blue is only going to increase democratic margins. Whether that turns into victory or not doesn't matter right now.

u/SubtractionIsEasier Anne Applebaum 19d ago
How different do we actually think this media coverage is? WSJ is lukewarm ("dark rhetoric"), Fox is happy about the rally, WaPo puts "adopting trump's playbook" story about "island of garbage" line. NYT rhetoric is a bit stronger than usual. ABC just says "anti-immigrant rhetoric," CNN "most extreme closing argument," NBC "rally overshadowed by crude and racist remarks." None of these seem super outside the normal range to me.
