16 of 17. Hypocrisy and lies
Streamer Vaush has a line about being unethical to promote socialism that goes something like "of course I'll do it because I want to win as a socialist and not lose as a socialist". It's a Machiavellian way of looking at the world, and frankly politically it's a bad way of looking at the world. Even tyrants generally try to create some sort of pretext for arbitrary decisions. Eventually people notice you're just a hypocrite who will pick whatever is best for yourself in that nanosecond.
The Democrats sued to keep RFK off the ballot before they sued to keep him on the ballot.
The Trump campaign offered Harris 3 debates, she only accepted 1 until after that 1 was over, then suddenly the Harris campaign wanted more.
Joe Biden was sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack and not going anywhere nevermind he's been forced to step down because he's not fit to be president.
The Harris campaign took every opportunity to attack young men until it was clear they needed those young men to win (followed by the lamest most cringe attempt to appeal to young men I've ever seen...)
The Democrats claimed that Trump would use the legal system against his political opponents while they used the legal system against him, their legal opponent. They claimed he was inciting violence against Democrats while bullets whizzed by his head. They attacked him for childish namecalling in the same sentence they call him childish names.
Independents can see what's happening, and the self-serving lack of principles might be tactically advantageous, but it's strategically weak.
What's one word you associate with Trump? I'll tell you one thing I don't associate with Trump, and that's the word "Stealth". He's not the sort of guy who will quietly stealth into a position without being noticed. You know exactly what his positions are because he won't shut up about them.
So the idea that Project 2025, a book created by some thinktank somewhere, is actually Trumps secret publicly published and available for purchase at a reasonable price evil plan is really stupid. He said it isn't his plan, he didn't fund the plan, stop it. Lying about this thing makes you look bad.
Project 2025 also isn't the Democrat messiah that contains every message the Democrats really wish Trump was running on but isn't. It doesn't say anything about ending social security or banning abortion. The Democrats would know that, but they don't care to read it, they just need a boogeyman. Lying about this thing makes you look bad.
Trump is running on not signing a federal abortion ban. Maybe he's lying, but without any evidence that he's lying, why do the Democrats keep saying he's going to sign a federal abortion ban? Lying about this thing makes you look bad.
The fact that the Democrats have so fully infiltrated media has made them arrogant and stupid in this regard. And they're loudly complaining about the parts of communication they don't directly control. It's a bad look for "liberals".
I know every politican lies. Trump says things that are arguably false all the time. The thing is, the level of bad faith lying here is not going to win any friends. It's important to at least try to appear principled in some way, and hypocrisy and lies will lose the election -- at least try to look like you intended to keep your promise until after the votes are counted and you've won!
