Pres. Biden tonight:
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn't give a damn about the Latino community…just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage?…The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

With just a week left before Election Day it’s obvious there’s been a major vibe shift in American politics, and the vibe shift is this: People aren’t afraid of publicly and unapologetically supporting Donald Trump any more. There are no “shy Trump voters” like there were in 2016 and 2020. The Trump voter has been liberated.
Just look at the Trump rally this weekend at Madison Square Garden. When was the last time a Republican presidential candidate packed out the Madison Square Garden? It’s never happened.
And it doesn’t matter what our corrupt corporate media and degenerate cultural elite say. No one cares any more. They can rage and moan all day long about how Trump is a fascist, a second Hitler, a would-be dictator, and how all his supporters are a bunch of Nazis. It no longer has an effect.
Every media outlet ran headlines after the Madison Square Garden rally calling Tony Hinchcliffe’s Puerto Rico joke racist, tsk-tsking the supposed “vitriol” and “misogynistic remarks” of Tucker Carlson and other speakers. The New York Times said the “inflammatory rally” was a “closing carnival of grievances, misogyny, and racism,” and that Trump’s rhetoric “has grown darker and more menacing.”
Oh really? As dark as menacing as calling your opponent Hitler and his supporters Nazis? As dark and menacing as repeatedly insisting that your opponent represents a danger to American democracy and that his victory will usher in a military dictatorship?
The truth is, normal people no longer take this kind of fear-mongering seriously. The mere fact that Hinchcliffe felt comfortable doing a comedy set at a Trump rally, or that a popular comedian like Andrew Schulz had Trump on his podcast, tells you that these people know there’s no real social or professional cost to engaging with or even embracing Trump.
Why is this happening? One reason is that the media and the Democrats have overplayed their hand. They have lied so brazenly, been so dishonest and so obviously corrupt and self-dealing that regular people aren’t afraid anymore of being called the worst things possible by them. The people who hate Trump are the worst people in the country, and they think they can tell us who we can and can’t support? I don’t think so. The entire rotten edifice of public discourse gatekeeping in America is coming down, and it’s about time.
