    Depends on who you asked. I wanted to see what conservatives had to say about it, and they’re saying the exact opposite. Granted I was looking at gab.com, so take it with a grain of salt. I have no idea how representative that site is of conservatives viewpoints.

      Yeah, the debate was never going to make any difference for the bases of either party. But it might make a difference for moderates and independents.

      I just skimmed /r/conservative 's live thread and they are mostly talking about how unfair it was, with a few “i got a bad feeling about this” and “why are we being bigraded” posts, which is a pretty good indicator he lost imo. It’ll be 8nteresting to see what narratives they cling too once the dust settles and the astroturfers sync up.

        We need to get ahead of this. In a few short hours, maybe just a day or two, they will consolidate support around Trump again.

        Our job is to meme the best lines of Trump’s insanity as much as possible, and spread the message far and wide. Trump is easily manipulated by Kamala. Trump’s only leaders he respected tonight were Venezuela and Hungary / Orban. I dunno, I’m bad with memes. But you all get the gist.

        /r/conservative will get itself together shortly. But we need to spike the football tonight.

          My favorite line was “Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison.” It doesn’t get more “old man yells at cloud” than that.

            There’s a lot to pick out here.

            My favorite personally (as a Neocon) is Trumps utter flubbing of the Afghanistan question. Harris criticized Trumps handling of Afghanistan by inviting the fucking Taliban to Camp David… While Trump talked about imaginary Taliban members he talked with.

            Who the fuck is Abdul?

            Trump not only admitted to working with the Taliban directly, but was so fucking braindead he couldn’t even remember the name of the guy he invited to Camp David. This is going to be my meme.


            But it doesn’t matter what moment you meme. What matters is that you MUST meme these moments and spread them far and wide. We will consolidate on what works afterwards.

            To be fair, I support free healthcare, including gender affirming care, for absolutely everyone. Which means, yes, I do want to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison. Not the top of my priority list, but a win’s a win.

      I agree, but I’m glad that some big news outlets are reporting it this way. Less not-so-subtle sane-washing and acceptance of Trump, more making him look like the weak weirdo he is.

        Your neighbors appear either to be absolute morons, or work in a foreign click factory.

          You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know…morons.

          QR code on the screen, so yes. My take is that his supporters load up on polls like this to make it seem as if he’s won the debate.

          On the other hand, there are a lot of asshats around the area too.

            Yeah, I’d say an online poll is about as accurate a pulse of the people’s opinions as a YouTube comment section.
