Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Has his behavior changed? Trump seems to be spouting the same kind of nonsense he always has. This just seems to be more of the same weird rants.
The behavior hasn't substantially changed, but the narrative is shifting. Trump took office on the back of a wave of sardonic, nihilistic memes. He was constantly excused for being bigoted and unintelligible because his dork enlightenment cronies could cynically spin everything as nine dimensional water backgammon. The fact they weren't making sense was a plus, not a minus.
Biden dropping out and team Kamala stepping up so hard so fast on the meme front has completely taken the right by surprise. They weren't mobilized to defend against this. So now they're on the back foot, the memes from the mainstream left are sharper and meaner than Trumpworld has ever had to deal with before, and the messaging is laser focused.
Spouting nonsense only works if it looks like you're winning by doing so. Don just keeps showing how old, tired, and weak he really is, so the cracks are forming. Just think of all the political capital he's spent trying to make diapers cool, and then he makes a VP pick who Snopes has confirmed literally fucked a couch on live video.
Didn't click the link, but I really really hope it's Rickrolling....
XcQ
XcQ, link stays blue
Get out of here with this fake news! There's no video! This is just a hit on Vance!
Again, there is no video of J.D. Vance fucking a couch. He only wrote about it in his autobiography (chapter 11, page 180).
I assume you're just memeing siince he never actually wrote about that?
If he didn't write it, maybe Jesse Watters should be demanding to see the book and not just a video he could masturbate to.

Just gonna share this here anyway since I fell for it originally:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jd-vance-couch-cushions/
Watters insists the couch-clapping story is as real as Covid-19. That sounds like an admission to me!
I have no idea how I've never seen this up to now, but good god that's the perfect encapsulation of that particular sect of morons.
Damn, clicked it. Didn't expect that.
I did but I clicked anyway.
Some things truly cannot be unseen.
Goddammit.
Agree with both above parent comments, but what can they hope to gain by starting to point out his meltdowns now? Do they think they can convince him to step down as well? To change his rhetoric?
Possibly just distancing themselves from Trump to position themselves for a post-Trump world. Normally its only retirees who don't face reprisal from Trump or voters that speak out anyway.
The best time to wake up to that Donald Trump is a weird racist who should be ignored was 1988. The second best time is now
Oh are they tired of defending a traitorous rapist conman? They’re tired of defending a sociopath and grotesque manbaby for the singular purpose of jamming through the most regressive laws and judges anyone could imagine? Awwww. Poor lot of republiQans.
Let's not be fooled. They defended him because he could help them. Now that he's not polling as favorably, trump has less to offer for their support
Is that better than cultishly believing his obvious lies?
Why should they be tired? After scouring the nation for the person who most accurately represents them, conservatives have consistently chosen Trump as the one who most closely reflects their sentiments. He is their accurate reflection.
They've re-affirmed their leader for eight solid years now. They get to own this and they should never be thought of apart from him. Just as nazis are always associated with Hitler, Republicans should always be associated with Trump. Always.
