There is now a variation on the theme. The “lying Trump voter.” This evily brilliant variation comes courtesy of proud Left filmmaker Michael Moore, who has on his resume what almost no Democratic cognoscenti has: a correct prediction that Trump would win in 2016. Moore:
"Listen, don't believe these polls...Pollsters- when they actually call the Trump voter, the Trump voter is very suspicious of the 'Deep State' calling them and asking them who they're voting for."
Polls are "fake news" to Trump supporters.
Is that not evilly brilliant? The “lying Trump voter” trope gives a last, fatal whack to the shy Trump voter piñata and admixes the readily apparent enthusiasm gap exemplified in the Trump pda’s and the purple kool-aid “deep state,” “fake news,” “make the liberals cry,” “voting with our middle finger” that the Disgustings have been eagerly quaffing for four years. The lying Trump voter also absolves the polling firms of error. If voters lie to pollsters, are not shy but lie, the polling firms are beat. There is not a damn thing they can do about it. It’s just about a perfect trope. Just about. It does not explain why so many Trump voters don’t lie, why Trump has 43.8% support in the polls, but it would not take many lying Trump voters to turn still a close-ish election into a razor-thin result. Moore is not, or at least did not today on Hill TV, predict Trump’s reelection. Here are his own words:
"So it is not an accurate count. I think the safe thing to do, this is not scientific... whatever they're saying the Biden lead is, cut it in half, right now, in your head. Cut it in half, and now you're within the four-point margin of error. That's how close this is! That's how desperately close this is!"
Point made. Nightmares return.
