“Some folks are burned out on outrage,” said Rebecca Lee Funk, the Washington-based founder of the Outrage, a progressive activism group and a purveyor of resistance-era apparel. “People are tired. I think last election we were desperate to get Trump out of office, and folks were willing to rally around that singular call to action. And this election feels different.”

So when is the debate between President Trump and RFK Jr on how to fix the mess left by the failed Biden administration.

Four years of Brandon wears on us all.

Probably also for people who have never even been to America.

They assumed if they defeated him Trump would leave the political scene and things would go back to the way they were with RINO’s pretending to be conservatives and working arm and arm with liberals.

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals:

RULE 7: “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.” Don’t become old news. (Even radical activists get bored. So to keep them excited and involved, organizers are constantly coming up with new tactics.)

How many coups, how many lies, how many kangaroo courts, how many impeachments, how many fines, how many Judases, how many children persecuted, how many Trump billions wasted and stolen?!? He won’t quit! He loves America that much.

They also believed their deployment of unrestricted lawfare would force President Trump out of the “game”, permanently.

He hasn't capitulated yet, and that not only de-energizes them and their brethren, it also demoralizes them.

The expressions of support I see for Biden in the social
media don’t have the feel of someone who admits his
weaknesses and champions his programs.

They come loaded for bear and seek to destroy Trump by wildly
tossing out insults and false charges. They aren’t honest
about what they see taking place. They call others
Communists or anti-American, or traitors. A number of
them now talk about him wanting to destroy the US
Constitution. Seriously...

These are nothing less or more than agitprop disruptive
actors.

The only reason they continue on, is because their
paychecks for doing this stuff continues.

We all know Biden’s the remake of “Weekend at Bernie’s - the
White House” edition.

Sure the democrats will vote for him, because that Putin
loving Trump is going to destroy ‘democracy’. LMAO

They’ve been snowed beyond belief.

They call us low information...

Ironically had these people not done this then Trump would not be running and indeed would be leaving office for good in less than a year. They extended their self-inflicted "misery" potentially another 8 years - 4 years of campaigning for another term, 4 years of office if elected. They're fatigued because it has still been all Trump, all the time. They accomplished nothing...except for things like much higher grocery bills for themselves and rest of us.

Well yes...it’s basically they ignore, or event accept, all of Biden’s issues with a caveat along the lines of “but at least he isn’t Hitler.” And that’s one of the main narratives Biden and the media are pushing to subconsciously effect voters - especially those considering voting third party. Our side really needs a sustained ad campaign of comparing / contrasting the conditions of the country vs. what they are now to increase Trump’s own positives, but it doesn’t look like our candidates have the funds.

Whatever happened to the pink pussy hats? For a few years there every liberal was wearing one. Have not seen any for a while.
