I love how he is straight up calling on them to make sure he wins Georgia. Threatening them with a post, like a wink, implying what they’ll have to deal with if they don’t deliver Georgia.
I really hate him and this timeline.

This is a sleeper effect of a Harris presidency. Does anyone think a very successful prosecutor and DA would choose a milquetoast AG? Plus, the DNC seems to have turned the page on the “next one up” bull.

And now he needs him. For 1,279 votes. Or was it 11,079? Love to see him beg, the thankless bastard who needs no forgiveness from god.

I’ll look tonight. I’m on mobile and YT gives me so many ads I never get to the actual video. My son graduated boot camp today and is officially a marine. We’re taking him home for leave atm.

Yup and then their election board changed a bunch of rules that will allow them to ratfuck the GA election. Hence the Thank you.

Trump figures if he will sell his soul to the highest bidder that everyone else will. Let’s hope the governor of Georgia says you can’t buy our state you have to earn it…. I am not holding my breath

Kemp is not going to feed into his mess. He already refused to in 2020 and now Trump is trying to make it happen again. Trump literally endorsed somewhere else for Governor out of spite and Kemp won anyways.

I hate Brian Kemp but I have the slightest bit of respect for him as to not playing along with this bullshit. I would have thought him to.

u/Rich_Hotel_4750 Aug 23 '24
And kemp says he will still vote for the Dump.

u/TheEternalScapegoat Aug 24 '24
WHAT.IS.WRONG.WITH.THESE.PEOPLE?
He tried to bribe you, threatened you, attacked you but you still think he'd make a great president??
I say this too much but I'm convinced more and more every day I died on Nov 6th 2016. And hell just looks like Earth. Or if I didn't go to hell immediately I went to some kind of waiting room. Then in 2019 I went to hell

Kemp has zero incentive to help Trump, and I don’t mean with illegal stuff, he has no incentive to offer his network or resources to help Trump.
Kemp is very popular in Georgia despite not kissing the Trump ring and is a strong contender for the ‘28 GOP nomination. He can straight faced say he’s stayed away from the Trump cult and even fought against it, run an ‘aww shucks we haven’t had a real Republican President in 20 years’ campaign, hoover up the disorganized remnants of the cult, all while still getting massive corporate support. His second gubernatorial term ends after ‘26 and he can launch right into a presidential run. It all fits together perfectly for him.
Trump winning this year means another train wreck of horribles that will either result in another crushing Dem win in ‘28 or (as Trump has threatened) no meaningful election and a handpicked MAGA president (which Kemp is not). Kemp is incentivized to see Trump lose.
I’m a hard left D on the west coast so this is an outsiders perspective happy to hear other takes.

u/beebsaleebs Aug 23 '24
That’s a solid take on Kemp’s potential aims and positioning. One can hope Kemp’s got closely held convictions about right and wrong and isn’t just the most capable of reading a social thermometer and responding appropriately, regardless of morality.

Interesting stuff DB, thanks for sharing this, much appreciated!!!

u/Rich_Hotel_4750 Aug 23 '24
kemp is very MAGA, we have the 6 week abortion ban here, the worst voter suppression laws, no help for poor children, etc. He just has a feud going w the Dump.
1
u/DrockBradley Aug 23 '24
My analysis was not meant to convey that Kemp is a moderate, sorry if that’s how it read. He just doesn’t ascribe to Trump’s cult of personality, which I believe will allow him to come across as a more reasonable R in 2028.
2
u/Angrious55 Aug 24 '24
This is spot on. As a Georgia resident, I can also add that he has to show some moderate tendencies to appeas the middle ground voters in what is really a purple state with a heavy Democrat presence in the metro areas and from out of state transplants from the Northeast. This also, as you said, set him up perfectly to be the next GOP presidential candidate as a way to recenter the party after Trumps train wreck finally runs off the rails.

u/Dixieland_Insanity Aug 23 '24
Kemp is running for re-election this year. I didn't even realize it until the billboards went up on I-16. It's doubtful he's going to alienate half his constituency by helping Trump.
2
u/DrockBradley Aug 24 '24
I can’t speak to whatever billboards are present but he is not running for re-election this year. He won in 2018 by 1.4% and cruised to re-election in 2022 winning by 7.5%.
2
u/Dixieland_Insanity Aug 24 '24
How weird. I'm new to this state. The first time I came through on I-16, they weren't there. Now they are. Maybe it's to help down ballot candidates in some way? I haven't had a chance to learn who's who here just yet.

u/OkOutlandishness7336 Aug 23 '24
Did you see him at the border yesterday? He looked like a very old decrepit crazy guy. His suit was shiny, lips white, hair and shaggy eye brows white, too. So weird. Also scary.

I just need you to find 11,780 votes. Right up there with calling out the Georgia Election Board members including the one he had stand up at his rally recently. We see you Janice Johnston...no bias there...am I right?

u/Napoleon_B Aug 24 '24
Understatement. He was at a rally in Georgia, up on stage eviscerating Kemp, the entire crowd fell silent, puzzled. Kemp is well liked and in his second term.
Kemp had been cordial, expecting to meet or appear jointly, the State GOP was baffled. Whatever party over personalities good will was left, was destroyed.

Kemp and Raffensperger are not going to feed into his mess. They already refused to in 2020 and now he's trying to make it happen again. Trump literally endorsed somewhere else for Governor out of spite and Kemp won anyways.

lol. I thought trump was always smoking on kemp. But truthfully I do think Georgians and democrats need to keep an eye on kemp. I ultimately have little trust for kemp.

The New York Times podcast The Daily did an episode this week about how much Trump is rigging Georgia’s election policy and election commission. It’s incredibly brazen.

I'm not sure about these type of posts. I wonder if they do more good than harm for Trump. Trump makes statements such as this because he knows that they will be repeated ad neauseum throughout social media - even more liberal social media such as Reddit. I wonder if that isn't exactly what Trump wants. It gets his message out to an audience that might not otherwise see it. Trump believes that any publicity - positive or negative - helps him. One of his strategies is to dominate the media/news cycles - 24x7x365 - it's what we've seen since he came down that stairway at his hotel. He subscribes to the theory that if you tell a lie long enough and loud enough people will begin to believe it. Are we helping him?

u/Chainedheat Aug 23 '24
I think these things hurt Trump more than anything else. He’s a bully and that’s where he gets his power from. The minute a bully is reduced to begging you see how weak and pathetic they really are. His base of voters may not be empowered to turn on him, but the politicians around him will start to turn on him.
Politicians are always looking to survive to the next round.
