I was doom scrolling YT and started watching this video on Goop. As I listened/watched, I couldn't help but feel that I'd heard this type of talk before, so I hit the google and found surprisingly little written about the Goop/Trump Venn Diagram. I did find a GQ article from 2018 connecting these dots.

On the surface, Paltrow, Los Angeles's high priestess of good taste, and Trump, the garish Queens hawker of race-baiting, have little in common. But they have both amassed loyal bases among those desperate for fictions and simple solutions to their deepest anxieties, adrift in America's shifting virtual reality. These loyalists are immune to the experts, and the haters only reinforce their fealty. Goopians don't want to accept the ugly limits of their own mortal-ness, and so they worship at the altar of beauty and wellness under a golden goddess; Trumpians don't want to accept demographic trends, which indicate that they will soon be in the minority and make them fear losing cultural status, so they pin their hopes on a wall and a demagogue.

One of his rallies this week the softball questions came from RNC members
Loss of jobs as manufacturing and engineering moved offshore, ineffectivity of government over decades, need of enemies to blame, hopelessness, grasping at straws.
The Capitalist Threat to Democracy
The threat to a true democracy that promotes material well-being, equality, and social solidarity is deeper than Donald Trump. It comes from a capitalism that can never make its peace with democracy.

They're still trying to pay her off, hilarious. I bet Trump wants a conjugal visit written into the contract.but i thought he did nothing wrong?

Do you have access to huarache in Salida?
You should’ve seen how sad my Instagram algorithm was. A lot of that was from things forwarded to me by certain friends. It’s part of why I’ve been logged out for a while with no plans to go back.
Several decent (though not authentic) Mexican restaurants, none that have huaraches to my knowledge. Also, the irony of the town name being a mispronounced Spanish word is not lost on me.
Love me some huarache - sope's the size of dinner plates!
I suppose you are in green chili land. "Authentic" means something different to everybody.
That Univision town hall was great.
IMO, they need to call it a close race up until election day. If people think it'll be a landslide maybe they won't turn out to vote.
Is it said whore-ache?

They're "flooding the zone" with partisan results to shape the meta narrative and media coverage.

If I wasn't a big kitty I'd put new bike $$$ on the favorable Harris odds.
Last night when I checked $500 -> $1250+ for Harris to win
It will be close because racism and sexism are hellova drugs.
But plus side is the uncertainty could bolster turnout unlike Trump v Clinton which felt like Hill-dog fait acompli... until it wasn't.

Takes a bit to get to the betting discussion, but it is in there.
Don't be a caulk.
This is amazing to me.
Peak amazing are inmigrant citizens voting for Trump. They are vocal.
Polling can be misleading. Clinton had the popular vote and lost. Biden had the popular and won. So, being close now is just extra confusing noise.
We probably think alike in that we don’t understand the choice of a Trump voter. It makes me wonder what a day in the life of a Trump voter is like and how they see people like us.
You're obviously The Enemy Within.
From that Jimmy Kimmel vid it's clearly several hours of Fox/Newsmax/OAN swallowing it down whole.
