It's far from ideal, of course.

Trump was big on the "forgotten people" in his 2016 victory speech but I think he forgot about them almost as fast as he forgot about infrastructure
The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.
We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none.

For years centrists and elite liberals banished the words ‘working class’ preferring their meritocratic phrases of ‘working people’ or the feeble ‘underrepresented groups’. Class was dead. Competing identify groups were the future.
The populist right have no such qualms. They also have no qualms in honestly calling out the consequences of deindustrialisation or pointing out who dies in illegal wars.
There is a massive lesson for our side here. We better learn it quickly…

This from the venture capitalist who wrote a book called “Hillbilly Elegy” who’s central thesis was that poverty and unemployment in the rust belt were principally caused by backward hick culture and laziness rather than macroeconomic phenomena:

As someone who's migrated here from AV forums, thanks for the welcome. My take of what's going on over there is a load of MAGA/ Reform/ far right/ anti vaxxer types started crying about people with opposite views and left a load of bad reviews on Trustpilot. Unfortunately, the admin and mods decided the best way to deal with this was to try and appease them and bring in a load of complicated and draconian rules, treating posters who have been getting on well for years, like 5 year olds and slapping them with restrictions and bans over the silliest of things. Personally, I decided enough was enough when I was slapped with a "yellow card" meaning anything I post has to be pre approved by a mod. My crime? Saying that a MAGA supporter on TV looked like Beaker from the Muppets.
I am enjoying this forum, I like the relaxed atmosphere and the ability to have a laugh which sadly got sucked out of AV forums. The type of posters who are also migrating over from there, I'm sure they'll fit right in when they have worked out the difference here and bedded in.Any way, back to the subject. Remember during the pandemic when a load of MAGAs were bleating about people wearing masks and calling it virtue signalling?......

With the cult it's more about slogans and culture wars than policy.

Tbf, a lot of people thought Obama was a saviour.
Sadly, it turned out to be business as usual.

I think people are taking this far to seriously, it's just people having a bit of fun.
I think it was the much missed killer B who said we tend to assume our political opponents lack a sense of humour when oftern they don't.
In fact I think it downplays the significance of the assassination attempt, which is a good thing.

I swear to god, I actually walked past an old bloke yesterday afternoon wearing one of these. (I live in New York.)
I didn't fully twig it at the time 'cos I hadn't seen these sort of pictures but it did kind of cross my mind for a second and then I thought, 'No fucking way. You're imagining things'. And I then rationalized it away by thinking 'He's old bloke and he's a block away from a Medical Centre. It's probably just a coincidence. He's got an ear infection.'

Things look so bleak for the presidential election that I was forced to re-visit Scottish abuse of Trump back when twitter was a thing, to cheer myself up.
Unless the clearly senile Biden can be moved aside it's hard to see how Trump can be stopped at this stage. Many people just living in their own version of reality.
I'd never heard of "JD Vance" which isn't all that strange as he seems to have had as many surnames as Grant Shapps. However the guy describes the UK as Islamist so clearly his grasp on reality is as tenuous as Trump's himself.

I'm not a 100% sure on that score. Some True Believers think Trump surviving, momentarily moving his head when the shot rang out, was an Act of God. That sucks for the Trump supporter who died in the crossfire but nobody claimed that Republican Jesus was a beneficent god.
What I am 100% sure of is that Trump will monetize this. Expect emails in your inbox from a Trump PAC trying to sell you your very own Trump endorsed gauze. (If you want added red splotches, that will cost extra.)

That big "Unity" speech went well
www.theguardian.com
tldr? Some choice highlights...
“The Democrat party should immediately stop weaponizing the justice system and labeling their political opponents as an enemy of democracy, especially since that is not true,” he said.
“If Democrats want to unify our country, they should drop these partisan witch-hunts.”
Improvising and moving away from prepared remarks, he went on to label Nancy Pelosi “crazy”. And he falsely accused Democrats of cheating in the 2020 election – a topic that speakers during the previous week nearly avoided entirely as they looked towards the next election. “The election result we’ll never let that happen again. They used Covid to cheat.”
At one point in his speech Trump declared: “I am the one saving democracy for the people of our country.”
“Has anyone seen Silence of the Lambs, the late great Hannibal Lecter, he’d love to have you for dinner,” Trump says.
“No one will ever stop us,” he said.
