Donald Trump fired off an angry middle-of-the-night attack on “highly overrated Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro after he spoke out against the former president at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.

Ah yes the strategy of trying to court jewish Americans by *checks notes* being blatantly antisemitic. There's no real reason to mention he's Jewish here other than to be antisemitic and imply he's a "bad jew"

At this point there is no chance of "court(ing)" enough voters to win. MAYBE when all anyone knew of Biden was a guy who chugged a bottle of nyquil before a debate for some reason but even america isn't stupid enough to legitimately vote in trump anymore.

If trump wins it will be because of decades of gerrymandering and outright election theft through court cases, bad faith electors, and violence.

And shit like this? This is the threat. Explain that anyone who breaks ranks is going to be just as much of a target as pence was.

Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if we have a "Jan 6 was a day of patriotism" ad before this 70-something days is up.

I'm afraid you're vastly underestimating the stupidity of Americans. I just hope enough people vote.

Agreed. PT Barnum was a very wealthy man.
