Donald Trump is beating President Joe Biden right now here's one key reason that won't last whether you're looking at Big National polls or polling averages or most importantly what's happening in the key swing states that will decide the 2024 election right now Donald Trump is either even or ahead of Joe Biden and that's LED Democrats to have one basic reaction doesn't anyone notice this I feel like I'm taking crazy pills so why don't voters seem to get it I mean how in the name of all that's h
oly can Donald Trump a man indicted 91 felony counts an extortionist a seditionist a wannabe dictator be doing so well Steven coar thinks it's simply because we've just kind of become numb to these things look I know I know how numb we've become but it's not normal a lot of pundits think it's because Trump's Maga Army just responds to whatever he says like that parot in Aladdin yes Almighty evil one but I argue that there's something else something even more fundament menal going on that explain
s an awful lot about why Trump seems to be defying political gravity and why Republicans in general aren't taking more of a beating for their terrible Behavior bobert bobert bobert the congresswoman was kicked out of the theater she was vaping raising her hands and dancing bobbert occasionally took a break from being disruptive to enjoy the company of her male companion he briefly had a grasp on the situation by the way I wrote all about this in a new article for Washington monthly and I put a l
ot more information in there if you want to read about it see more of the the numbers for yourself but here's the upshot the reason that Trump is where he is is that almost no one is paying attention for people like us who watch or make videos about politics it may be hard to believe but a shockingly high number of Americans have almost no idea about the depth of Trump's crimes or really about most of what's happening in the news especially political news oh man I have no idea what's going on th
e Sher of Americans who say that they're following any news at all dropped 13 points in the last8 years to just over onethird of us and a big chunk of Voters pay almost no attention at all here's pollster Ian Smith who gave a pretty startling number that illustrates this this was specifically among uh swing women kind of key finding from that which was shocking to us but very important to realize political news takes about 10 minutes 10 minutes of people's time per week on average 10 minutes per
week just for reference 10 a week is about the same amount of time that Americans spent brushing their teeth do I a toothpaste that's why in 2023 a year that saw the first indictment of a former president the ousting of a house Speaker amidst a total Republican chaos meltdown and terrible Wars around the world the news story that Americans heard the most about was that Chinese spy balloon I entertain you people for four days and then get shot by Biden no wonder that when yugov did a poll at the
start of this year only about half of Americans had even heard that Trump had been charged with any crimes at all only 55% had heard about the EEG Carol Case 47% had heard about the case where he was found to have committed fraud and has to pay a 450 million doll penalty just over half it heard about the Stormy Daniels hush money fraud case same for the election interference case what about all the insanity of trump wanting to be an authoritarian well voters don't know about that either only 31
% of Voters had heard about those statements so here's the good news if this really matters the New York Times showed that in swing States the average fourpoint lead for Trump over Biden turns into a 10-point deficit if he were convicted in any of these crimes and when voters simply hear a lot more information about Trump's indictments like they did in the summer of 2023 his support among Republicans dropped six points and as voters learned about Trump's authoritarian statements they start to fe
el a lot more negative with 69% saying Trump will bring chaos to the presidency and our country the point is Biden and the Democrats have a powerful weapon against Donald Trump the truth and voters do start to pay attention as we get a lot closer to election day so there's good reason to think that as people start to pay a lot more attention they're going to notice the things that the rest of us have known about for a long time and their views are going to start to swing our way but here's the n
ote of caution it's not going to just happen on its own it's going to take chipping away an Americans apathy and inattention by bringing them this kind of information so if you've made it to the end of this video do us a favor share it and subscribe to the channel help us keep amplifying the truth
