Leagues Cup 2023 Our Story Begins shirt
I have been arguing that people are underestimating his electability for a Leagues Cup 2023 Our Story Begins shirt. People seem convinced that he lacks charisma in comparison to Trump, and so therefore he will never get the same kind of votes Trump did. This seems woefully naive to me. Trump won by being more charismatic than a few extremely boring old men. That is not an achievement. Trump is not a good orator, he is often incoherent and cruel, and he loses track of his statements literally almost every time he opens his mouth. He looks like a weirdo, has a terrible sense of fashion, and mostly spends all his time talking about how awesome he is and how everyone who doesn’t like him is evil. That is not charisma, it is a malignant narcissist doing what one does. The fact that people are interpreting that as charisma is because they want to. The concept of him being compelling comes simply from the fact that he often says the quiet part out loud. They wanted someone to “hurt the right people” and he fills that need for them, so they post-hoc reinterpret everything about him in a messianic lens unrelated to his actual skills or behavior. This is the man he is. This is what they see. And that is not even the most extreme version, some literally portray him as Jesus in king form. So it does not matter what DeSantis does or how he acts. If he ends up being the front runner they will all jump behind him, reinterpret him, and start calling him “A highly intelligent, strong willed hero who did not let red tape stop him from protecting this country!” The reality is that the only requirement is that you pander to their biases and prejudices. Nothing else matters. You do not even need to help them or make their lives better, you can actively make them much worse, but as long as you hurt the “right people” worse, they will love you.

Leagues Cup 2023 Our Story Begins shirt

Here’s one of the Leagues Cup 2023 Our Story Begins shirt things I don’t understand about this song: The chorus goes: “Cuss out a cop, spit in his face, Stomp on the flag and light it up, Yeah, ya think you’re tough. Well, try that in a small town.” So presumably he believes in respecting cops. But then in the next verse he says: “Got a gun that my granddad gave me. They say one day they’re gonna round up. Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck.” Who does Aldean think would be collecting the guns that had been made illegal, if not police officers? So it’s okay to get in a gun fight with a police officer trying to take your guns, but swearing at them is going too far? It’s like this whole thing was actually about swinging his dick around this whole time and not about upholding the law at all. Earlier in the song, he also says some vaguely threatening things about people stealing cars and holding up liquor stores and how they wouldn’t dare do that in a small town. Why, what would be different in a small town vs. a city, where they would also have cops? Is he saying that private citizens who carry their guns everywhere would step in and shoot the robber? If you like and trust your police officers, why not call them to handle a robbery? Why do the cops need assistance from random amateurs, if they’re so great? I miss when country music was wholesome and anti-materialistic. Like that old song “Don’t Take The Girl”, about the guy who hands over his wallet to a mugger so his girlfriend won’t get hurt. America is meant to be a civilized country. This is not medieval England (edit: Italy) where Tybalt slays Mercutio and Romeo slays Tybalt and Juliet slays herself because we’re all walking around with swords. No one should be risking their life in a fire fight over $200 in a cash register. Call the police. Criminals should get a trial. People should have the right to protest without being labelled as criminals. Basic American freedom stuff
