I think 'may' have that conotation is more accurate not forgetting that often interpretation of its conotation is down to the person reading the word not the one using it (as you have just illustrated)

Me neither. Every day's a school day on here. Sometimes a bit of a too-finger wagging, humourless and po-faced school day... but whatever.
As long as we go home with a new perspective, eh.

Commentary: Trump is using his racism to regain power. Silence will let him ride bigotry to another term
Trump is hoping to ride racism and xenophobia into office again. Americans must show him how wrong he is.

Hopefully he'll piss off enough voters to lose.
Anyone would think he doesn't want to win.
it's crazy to think how far politics has plummeted. he is outright lying, and it's normal and 'fine'.

My grasp of economics is poor to non-existent. Is there any truth to this image?
It was prefaced with this:
If america lived on its own. as soon as it suffers this great contraction, the belligerents of the world will make their moves taking over what america once kept in check. america's world will get much smaller and it's resources will be far less.
the problem is america set up a system that many people do not like but now work within. pull the plug on it means pulling the plug on a lot of things around the world. there will be a huge amount of resentment.
It's like the body builder who suddenly decides to go on a big diet and dial down the training. you will be challenged because you've been pushing people around for a long time... and you've been propping up some folks who won't fare well, either.
But aside from all that. trump is not the guy to do it. he is sloppy, lazy, selfish, and is surrounded by people who are only in it for what they can get out of it for themselves. they will abandon ship at the first sign of trouble. they won't stick around through 4-5 years of bad times.
and followed with this:
Per Brian Beutler: “Trump’s top backer, whom Trump has promised to hand this very remit, acknowledges the plan is to crash the economy and markets so they can rebuild society in MAGA’s image. I don’t think most Trump voters were in on that plan!”

It would be quite funny if Trump prevailed in the swing states after all the hyper-targeted shitfuckery by Musk/Russia, but lost due to losing Texas and Florida where they had their eye off the ball.

The removing felons from the voting roll mainly affects men. Most men are in his column due to Rogan bro shit etc. and generalised misogyny, that could backfire. Don’t know about the other crooked stuff they get up to (reducing polling stations in Democrat-leaning areas and so on). Think a lot of this was in place last time round too, so maybe nothing more than it has done in the past.

I think it was a big mistake by Trump and it may cost him the momentum he'd've seemed have been gaining...

Kansas has been slowly turning purple. They had a Republican governor who did massive cuts to the budget, while giving tax breaks to the wealthy. It crashed the economy, caused schools across the state to close in the middle of the year due to lack of funds, and meant massive cuts in services. It totally pissed people off. In 2020, Bernie Sanders won the Democratic primary, if that give you any idea of the political shift in Kansas.

Yeah, he's trying to explain that fascist rally as a love fest, or something.

Which poll is this?
As far as I can tell there have been a whole two polls of Kansas (or rather one poll looking at both all adults and registered voters) using that as evidence about what is happening in other states is complete nonsense. Hot take reckons from randoms on twitter are not a good guide.
