While giving a speech to the NRA, Trump bragged that nothing was done about guns while he was president. He bragged like it was a huge accomplishment. He was proud of it.

Now to the NRA (a gun manufacturers lobbying group) of course they are happy that nothing was done about guns under his watch.

Even to his cult members, they are not going to see anything wrong with him bragging that nothing was done about guns when he was president. They are a cult after all. Whether it is shooting someone on 5th Ave, hiding top secret documents and lying about it, or trying to overturn a free and fair election, they won't say anything because they belong to a cult.

But that is not how most of middle of the road Americans in swing states that have had large mass shootings in recent years are going to take it. Pennsylvania, Florida, Nevada, etc are all going to see commercials about the famous mass shooting(s) that took place in their state and then see Trump bragging about how he is proud that nothing was done about guns during his presidency.

The GOP is already going to struggle with suburban women voters over abortion. I am sure they are going to completely understand why the GOP is bragging about doing nothing about guns in the face of all of the school shootings.

You think your "middle of the road Americans" and "suburban women voters" are having a problem with Trump?

Remember this?
“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything."

I've heard rumors that a bit more than just 2 or 3 American women did vote for the guy saying that.
Strange women. Strange country.

despite the blatant misogyny, there is a 'sort' of equality across the nation as MAGA women tried to out-do the men.

here is the formula :
a. be in a rural area
b. be in a gerrymandered zone
c. pretend to be working class
d. pose with a gun and\or flash pictures of border wall and\or denigrate biden

would anyone be surprised if don referred to these as the 'hags for trump' brigade? no? they can laugh it off for the win.

I think we can walk past Trump and get a second term. For some Trump fatigue is setting in. Trump has the same old schtick, and they want something new. But it's the independents or undecided that'll do him in. We have to figure out how to pick them up. Trump will be beset by lawsuits. When I was in the Philippines I saw the retribution - silence critics campaign after Duterte won. Would not like to see anything like that here.

Has anything been done under Biden? Probably not. The current make up of the SCOTUS would make it impractical. Though I did just read this a few days ago:

HI doesn't care what SCOTUS says. Citing "aloha spirit". And a program called "The Wire".

I doubt it will hold-up.
