Donald Trump supporters are just making up data now to make him look good.
Results from a “shock” poll shared by one of Donald Trump’s surrogates started trending on X Monday, telling 1.4 million people that the Republican presidential nominee was gaining ground on Vice President Kamala Harris in New Mexico.
But none of it appears to be real.
MAGA ally Richard Grennell, who served as the acting director of national intelligence during Trump’s administration, posted the sourceless numbers to his X account, claiming that Harris only had a three-point lead on the former president in the battleground state. But that alleged narrow lead made light of other recent surveys, including one published in the Albuquerque Journal on Monday, which showed Harris with a nine-point lead, three times more than Grennell suggested.
“Trump surrogates are literally fabricating polls at this point to make their supporters think a victory is inevitable,” wrote Democratic strategist and pollster Matt McDermott in response to Grennell’s post. “No poll shows this in New Mexico.”
Keep on telling them that they are winning or it’s very close, so when they lose (whether in a landslide or not is irrelevant), they’ll call that restaurant with all the goofy stuff on the wall, and the mozzarella sticks, and try to overthrow the government again.
IT RUBS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN.
They’ll think the election is stolen when the bullshit polls they’ve conditioned themselves with prove false.
They will believe the new government is illegitimate and be more likely to resort to violence
Yes. That’s what I said.
The “restaurant with all the shit on the walls, with the mozzarella sticks”, for those that don’t know, is a reference to the 2001 cinema cult classic “Super Troopers”, wherein one character is being tricked into saying the word “Shenanigans” in order to receive a pistol whipping, which was threatened to the next person who said the word, while aforementioned character was out of earshot.
In making the reference, in also subtly reminding readers of the post-2020 election Trump press conference, which was mistakenly placed at “Four Seasons Landscaping”, which up until shortly before the event, Trump thought was happening at a Four Seasons Hotel.
The setting of the Four Seasons Landscaping press conference itself, was a bit of foretelling poetry, as it was a run-down warehouse nestled between a porn shop and a crematorium. Thats the type of shit Nathaniel Hawthorne couldn’t even think up.
Which is fitting, because the opening of The Scarlett Letter paints the setting as a town that built a prison and a cemetery before anything else.
And, funny story, Nathaniel Hawthorne was a direct descendent of Judge John Hathorne, a pivotal character in both the historical Salem Witch Trials, and the fictionalization known through the book The Crucible, by Arthur Miller. Which of course was using the Salem witch hunts as a metaphor for McCarthy-era anti-communism trials…but also, Trump is constantly crying of being a victim of a political witch hunt.
Sup dawg. Heard you liked being meta.
whether in a landslide or not is irrelevant
I disagree. A landslide would be much harder to fight/stop.
You do understand who MAGA is right? It’s the mentally ill mixed with the racist. They don’t care.
Let’s create a landslide anyway. For funsies.
Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote.
Yes. They’re making up all the bullshit pretext for another attempt at overthrowing a fair election. They’ve been doing it for weeks.
Exactly. So the real question is, why is New Republic trying to help Trump by downplaying it as “mere” propaganda?
I am sick and tired of the entire news media – even the nominally (according to the bot) “left” ones – carrying water for the fascists!
The bot called the internet archive left-center
So strange to define a span of years as weeks.
A lot of weeks then.
What pisses me off most about this is that Hillary had a massive lead and polls had her at 95% chance to win, yet even the claim of Russian propaganda was balked at let alone an actual stolen election.
But now they’ll use fucked up polls as proof of election interference/fraud…
I hate this timeline so fucking much…
Exactly. I expect to see one of these types of reports for almost every state in the next week or two.
Whether or not this poll is real doesn’t matter. The reality is that this election is literally a 50-50 coin toss right now, so you have to do everything you can to help Harris win!!! Volunteer to make calls, speak to your friends and family and make sure they have a specific plan to go vote, offer car rides or baby sitting to help people actually get to the voting booth, - whatever you can think of doing!!!
So… it’s the same as he’s always done?
remember when he was surprised he actually won in 2016?
I remember Melania cried. Not the happy kind.
Remember how unhappy he looked? I do.
Yes. He looked. Not her.
Say what? There’s video of her in Trump Towers celebrating with everyone else at the announcement. Trump was the one with his head in his hands.
She thought she might have to take leave of the pool boy.
Well she didn’t move to the Whitehouse until several months after Don.
What an incredible coincidence how that aligns with this:
Frisky Dingo nailed it almost 20 years ago.
