The Tide Turns Toward Trump

Remember how Donald Trump was totally doomed just a couple weeks ago? Grandpa Badfinger was ridin high down in his basement and the GOP was going to be destroyed in November. All the smart people of smartness who make up liberal blue check Twitter tweeted it so it had to be true.
Good times.
And then last week it all changed, turning 180 on a dime as Biden stomped on his Pelosi. Its looking good for Trump and the Republicans again, and while there will be twists n turns, and while we best not get cocky (Hat Tip: Glenn Instapundit Reynolds) the victory most of us patriots expect is coming clearly into focus as Biden becomes clearly more unfocused.
The polls have improved not just for Trump but for the Republicans running downticket too, not that we should put great store in the polls. Keep in mind that the polls were literally the only indicator showing Biden and the Dems were winning. Theres no other manifestation of a blue wave out there. Do you see any Biden signs? Theres just one in my neighborhood, which is all LA suburban woke wine women, and thats in a creepy house that the children fear. No, there are no Trump signs either, but then that would invite a hassle. A Biden billboard would presumably invite hosannas for wokeness. And yet, only a single strange-o has one and thats the guy we all suspect is eating the cats that go missing.
The polls, we were informed, indicate Trumps doom. Of course, you could have said that in 2016 too, and just ask President Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit about how that went if you can catch her between goblets of screw-top Trader Joes Chardonnay. You hear from such unimpeachable sources as human potato-employing CNN that Trump is down 15 points and you wonder where all those people who switched from voting patriot to voting Squad minion are. I have yet to meet one in all my shameless virtual book promoting around the country over the last month, Ive interacted with a lot of folks and I have met many people who were all, Yeah, I did not vote for him last time because Trumps tweets make me sad as Im kind of soft, but I cant vote for the communists Trojan Donkey.
In contrast, the number of people I have met who told me, Yeah, I voted for Trump and love his conservative achievements, but hes mean to dumb people on Twitter so I have to vote for Charley UnMcCarthyite is zero. As in zip. Nada. The number of conservative successes achieved by the insufferable Never Trump Fredocons in the two decades before Trump came along and broke and humiliated them. None.
Where are all these vote switchers? And where are all the conservatives picking up the phone during dinner and saying, Why yes, I am delighted to talk to you as my rib-eye chills, total stranger, and yes, I strongly support the guy the cultural elite considers to be literally Hitler? We talk about the Silent Majority and the Shy Trump Voter, but its more like the Kiss my Schumer, youll find out what I think in November, jerk voter.
But its not just that few of us answer polls. Its that theres no reason to believe the polls arent rigged. Now, am I contending that the polls are consciously manipulated by media outlets and others to artificially depress Trumps popularity in order to demoralize conservatives and keep them from voting since it is a lost cause?
Yes.
