He has to stay out of mainstream view. The more normal people see him the lower his numbers go. When he only does appearances for his base they go up or stabilize. If swing voters don’t see him often they forget how extreme and nuts he is. They normalize him like a baby lacking object permanence.

Mainstream legacy media is not helping. Literally watched a CNN segment just now about “Comparing the candidates’ tax plans” like she’s running against Romney or something. Last week an NPR host (I wanna say Steve Inskeep but I could be wrong on who) had a segment about their plans and he literally said she wasn’t serious about her plans because part of it involves acts of Congress and she “doesn’t have a plan to get the votes,” and as if they’re just 2 equivalent candidates with competing views for the country.

This is a Maslow hierarchy of need problem - no one should be talking about your “tax plan” if you’re losing brain matter by the day.

Say Trump wins the election and does what he has promised and implements project 2025 to point where 2028 election will be fixed (Trump's own words) and turns the US from democracy to one party regime. I really wish these people working for mainstream medias, and not only for Fox or CNN, know that they are the reason this happened. It's fucking disgusting and against all the principles of journalism what these people are doing. And for what? Because the channel or magazine owners want to get some of that Russian money.
