As a Gen X'er, my entire life in my teens and 20's was getting girls. It's what motivated me to do everything from get a car, have money, go to college, get a better job, etc. I wanted girls or better girls.
Now, for whatever reason, these young boys aren't motivated to get a girl. My theory is that it's porn. While they still may have the urges, they don't know how to talk to an actual girl. They have a sexual and economic entitlement and when they can't get laid and see women doing better, they get angry.
I'll be a conservative here for a second. After porn, another factor is the lack of real father figures and as a result, you learn about "masculinity" from some dickhead on a podcast.
On the last note, I'll say that I was really luck that when my dad died when I was 6 months old, I had two grandfathers and a whole slew of Uncles that took it upon themselves to set mostly good examples.

Going off the young guys in my office, the first step for them to having success with women would be to interested in spending time with one or talking about their interests. I'm surprised how high of a hurdle that is these days.

He just went through a bunch of counties showing Trump doing better than 2020 and Harris doing worse than Biden. Small margins, but didn't sound good.
Doesn’t Georgia have an absurd amount of counties though?

When news breaks I am Surly all of the way for my information.
Seriously.
I finally abandoned Twitter for the most part 3 weeks ago. (Still post some work stuff as I actually significant following for my livestock info) Being here more and a couple other places has proven far superior that it wasn’t even that hard to quit.

I took a walk to try to relax after voting and I think something very bad happened at a neighbors house as there was 5 LPD cruisers sitting out front. So that mitigated the walk a bit

My line report, moved quick but got in just at the right time. Majority women 40-70, and then guys that look like Independent Senate Candidate Dan Osborn. (Caught the BNSF rail yard that is next to my neighborhood switching shifts)

But as it's population grows, it'll have more electoral votes. FL may surpass NY in the 2030 census.
Or the right storm knock it back a bunch.

Yea, I'm not understanding all the nervousness at this point. I think there's been a clear shift away from Trump and we're starting to see that unfold.
Look I don't have the stuffed dinosaur I steal from my wife at night for emotional support.

My two cents:
I think Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin are similar in Midwestern Popularism, but most notable in Minnesota. Not only do you get Walz as governor, but Jesse Ventura 20 years ago. The Dems in Minnesota are officially called DFL : “Democratic - farm - labor”. But, a lot of the same feel in parts of Iowa and Wisconsin, then lesser so as you get into Nebraska, Kansas…
But over the last 30 years, national politics has preempted state politics. There used to be prolife Dems in Nebraska who could win elections. Now, there aren’t any left and they wouldn’t win elections if they did exist. The Obamacare vote doomed the last Nebraskan Senator. The “all politics is local” isn’t really true anymore in the age of syndicated talk radio and cable news.
I think over the last 10 years you are seeing a resurgence of more progressive, common sense movements as a reaction to complete Republican dominance and overreach in places like Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska. Hopefully that grows.George Norris was really the only guy that pulled off peoples populism in Nebraska in a big way. Of course it’s a hell of resume

How does one go about sussing out the differences between Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and Indiana?
Well they call them Runza's in Nebraska, and Bierocks in Kansas. Iowa has bullshit speed limits, while Nebraska and Kansas are much more reasonable. Nebraska has better gravel roads, but shitty black tops, while Kansas is the opposite. Nebraska and Iowa are much harder drinkers in aggregate.

It definitely was. Obama won the Driftless Area (and our neighboring WI and MN counties too) both times.
The farm crisis in the 80's made a lot of farmers hate Reagan and Republicans. These were the guys my grandpa's age (my grandpa is a 90 year old Trump loathing yellow dog Democrat). Their sons all did really well farming and became Republicans as a result (my old man being a rare exception). Most of the old Carter Democrat farmers have died out, and I think that was a part of Trump's rise as Boomer and old Gen X rural guys became hardcore Trumpers.
I also think that low income/low education white people (IE white trash - I can say it because I live amongst them) didn't care about politics before Trump, and they turned out in a big way. They're losing interest again as he's losing steam, and his win never really changed their lives. Combine that with women overwhelmingly flipping to Harris and I can see how Iowa is making this political shift with different demographics than we saw in the past.
One side of my family was big Farmers Union/Co-op people so they have always been pretty blue. The slide to mega co-ops hurt a lot of engagement at the local level because those local board members would work their way up to other offices.

This is historically true, and a factor in why I chose to never leave. I was/am extremely proud of that.
The last decade has seen us join the rest of the states between the Rockies and Mississippi politically and it was hard not to see that as a permanent shift. I really hope there's some of that old Iowan political weirdness kicking around.
I'd assume the NE corner of Iowa is probably a big factor in that with the combination of what was big Union presence historically with packing and farm equipment makers plus it seemed like a lot of Irish Catholics too.

Not quite Chilli's but I did just achieve my lifelong dream of talking about the McRib with the international media (Reuters in this case) which I have to believe is a good omen.

seems to be low yute participation compared to 2020 so far. expected, imo. but do we want the kids to vote, given that the olds seem to be sliding left and the trump campaign strategy is basically to get rogan bros?
I would guess that in the absence of Covid stuff, the youth vote will go back to more day off due to lack of thinking ahead.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

At least for me the collapse of the local news aspect is what finally got me go shove off. Used to be I could find updates of random Nebraska/Kansas 6 and 8 man updates easily, but that went away this year. Otherwise most of the folks I found interesting/useful I replaced in aggregate with other sources, and after that I decided it was bad for me to spend my time gawking at assholes saying stupid shit in bad faith.
