from where i sit
in 2024—although Trump was no more friendly to the Palestinian cause than Biden ever was—pro-Palestinian Dems sought to punish Biden / Harris’s for supporting Israel by delivering the White House to Trump, in what was democracy‘s biggest ever electoral upset in the U.S.  

(worse, even, than George W. Bush’s most improbable victory in Y2K)

these Democrats are ready to do it again

from a USA Today headline the bigger title, while accurate, misleads by implying that the investigation was fruitful the lower title says a little more, but obfuscates even more: if brokers are under fire, why do ¾ of a million insured get kicked off the rolls RW fascism relies on compliant media

Marc Elias is suggesting for us to apply the meaning of this Arabic proverb: ‘the dogs bark, but the caravan moves on’ i too am there for that!
an illustration of the proverb ‘the dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.’  it displays five backlit camels crossing the desert.  each camel is flanked by a barking dog, but ostensibly, the camels are advancing despite the dogs' barking

wow it’s as if MAGA voters had been groomed to accept flawed characters and outrageous errors of judgment in their candidates to elected office [from Politico, via MSNow]
infographic from MSnow

it’s a table analyzing who’d still vote for a candidate who was…

the left column outlines the choices.  they are:

—accused of sexual assault
—accused of domestic violence
—convicted of DUi
—posted antisemitic comments online
—accepted expensive gifts from lobbyists
—accused of workplace bullying
—shared classified information with foreign govt
—photographed wearing blackface
—concealed a terminal illness
—exaggerated military service

three categories of voters are surveyed:
—MAGA voters
—Republicans voters at large
—Democratic voters

invariably, D voters are more sensitive to character flaws and errors in judgment in candidates running for office, while MAGA and Rs voters are more indifferent to those things

too many characters
[i know your question is rhetorical. i ‘answer’ it for the placebo effect, and in the hope it might edify the lone person who needed to know…]

every bit of communication emanating from MAGA / GOP is mere performative propaganda

just as most GOP wonks speak to an audience of one—dear leader Trump… 
…Trump-himself only speaks to the 30% core of the electorate he counts on to support him

Trump does not hope to edify the other 70% of voters.  he does not even know we exist
