Pretty strong contrast there between San Marcos and NB. WTF, New Braunfels? Also a little surprised to see Williamson County, Bastrop, and Buda/Kyle so blue and Bastrop & Lockhart blue at all. Good to see.

Yep. I just thought the big, very sharp difference between SM and NB was interesting. There's no gradation at all. Just blue, then wham, red. What accounts for that? Is it the German factor that was talked about weeks ago?

My sex ed teacher was also our linebacker and strength and conditioning coach.  Interestingly, when I look back upon it, he was surprisingly progressive on a lot of things, in particular on people being gay.  As a coach, complete meathead, as a teacher, I have to actually give him credit.  

 

Congratulations on your 1999 Minnesota state football championship! 🎉

She’s on her way to being an Ernie Chambers/Terry Carpenter type hellraiser in the Unicameral and that’s great. If Vargas doesn’t get Don Bacon in NE-2 this time, I can see her taking it next time 

She's awesome, but way too liberal and bombastic for NE-2.  If she stays in local elected office, maybe city council.  But my guess is she starts some sort of advocacy/activist/lobbying group in Nebraska or joins one outside of Nebraska.  She will be term-limited soon, because of the rules they changed for Ernie and there just aren't many opportunities for promotions within Nebraska politics for fire-spitting progressives.

SAS doesn't have many good uses, but tempting Fox News hosts to say "uppity" seems to be one of them.

Heh, I was thinking he was going for a different word, but yeah, that was also my reaction watching that. I think it almost worked.

Then my other friend's mom left her husband for one of our group's friends as soon as he turned 18. We would go over to their place to play basketball and he would stay in the house.

Tell us more. And don't leave out any details.

Seriously, why wouldn't he come out? Because he was inside with a MILF, or out of shame?

The crazy thing to me that there are so many smart middle-aged adults unable to admit to themselves or just now realizing that the economic orthodoxy of the 80's was bullshit

Are there though? It seems both Democratic and Republican voters reject it now. Which i find kind of wild.

Did somebody post Jackson introducing Kamala?

 

I missed the Mel Gibson endorsement. Is there anyone who's ever had a touch of celebrity that's too toxic or insane for the Trump MAGA people to embrace publicly? Mel Gibson, Antonio Brown, Roseanne Barr, Lara Logan, Kanye West, Ted Nugent, Kristi Noem, Hulk Hogan, RFK Jr, Russell Brand. I feel like there's a decent chance we'll see Bill Cosby in Pennsylvania soon.

NB is definitely maga country but they aren't advertising it this year. I've seen as many Harris signs as Trump ones lately. Very different than the last 2 elections.

That’s part of it, Big Sort and all. 

I also think that the old German pioneer, independent and yet community building spirit curdled into selfish NIMBY’ism.  The old German families resent the Mexican Americans that now outnumber them so the demographics are more like apartheid South Africa.  

The whole area is a really good example of the weakness of the state Democratic Party.  If they were capable of party buiding it would be a great candidate because the numbers are there.

Last week dropped my ballot in the mailbox of my "liberal" big city metropolis. Voted straight D.

Came of political age in the 80s and never voted for Ronnie Raygun, HW, W, or the MAGA Fuhrer.

For the remainder of my life, I cannot fathom voting R on anything. Ever. 

When we could pull the straight ticket lever, I said something to Reagan every time I pulled it. "There you go, buddy." " Fuck you, Ronnie."
 

I probably voted for a few GOPs before that, but never since unless my political party, The Austin Chronicle, recommended that I do in some state or local race.

That's some ironic shit, because the german pioneer families swore fealty to Mexico in exchange for land.

There's a lot of white flight from north and northeast San Antonio towards NB and Boerne and all points in between. And a whole lot of the people I know are moving/have moved into this belt at least in part because of its social and political conservatism. The whole area has been red for as long as I've been around it (~35 years). German Americans and others frequently fall into that category of R's that despise Trump but don't have the moxy to jump ship.

Are you taking about white flight from Schertz, Selma, Universal City, Cibolo?

Interesting.

In regards to SA republicans and their German catholic origins, San Antonio has a fascinating political history.

If you go back, there were political alliances that bucked national trends and would be a fun ‘Yellowstone meets Centennial’ type of story if anyone ever wanted to make one. Freed African Americans allying with German Catholics that held together even after the national shift to the democratic party later in the 20th century. Hell there were rich ass cattle driving Jews as well! Crazy stuff.

Yeah NB has nearly doubled population in the last 10-15 years. The old guard German population is now a very small percentage of the town. They do have a lot of money though, and mostly vote red. These people aren't really German though other than their last names. Just typical old school small town elites.

Maybe some from those areas but I’m mostly talking about the more affluent portions of Northside and Northeast ISD inside 1604.

They think of themselves as German, though.  It's another way to distinguish themselves from the Mexicans and everyone else. 

It's also very Aggie despite the fact few are ranching (and fewer are farming).

The teacher was a petite brunette that all the guys were in love with. She had kids young. Anyway, they were the "hang out house". We were always over there with a boom box shooting in the driveway. However, you would turn around and that dude would always disappear. This went on from 16 to 18. We all graduate and she immediately leaves her husband and they get a place together. like just a few months after walking the stage. So they obviously were fucking when we were kids. They even got married. Kid was 18. Barely.

Fast forward to 2020. The whole Trump thing is going on and one of her sons, who was a friend, is meme-ing it up on FB. He is talking all righteous about George Floyd being a piece of shit and how he deserved what he got. Liberals are ruing this country and how they are all pedophiles. I had enough and messaged him on the side like hey, why are you talking about liberals being pedos when your evangelical mom was fucking a high school kid while being married. He starts clutching his pearls. The entire family blocked me. I think I lose about 30-40 friends the last election cycle. So far this year only a couple.

Thinking back the mom was very touchy with me too. I was too dumb to pick up on the signs though. If I had my current mindset I would've been knocking the bottom out of that on the reg. It has been my experience that evangelical women are dirtier than liberal women. Some of the wildest I have ever had has been the most conservative. I do a golf trip with a bunch of guys every year. My buddy Kevin Galati(rip and one of the owners of MyComputerCareer) was a mormon and was telling us how Mormon wimmenz would regularly have anal sex because they thought it didn't count.

tldr: conservative wimmenz are freaks

Won't matter for either as SA extends out(Boerne/NB) and Austin extends down(NB). Only a matter of time for both but Boerne is actively trying to prevent growth but it's inevitable.

Daily Georgia EV data dump takeaways:

1.  2.369 million votes now cast

2. Women out pace men by 272k or 55.5% to 44%  (.4% growth from yesterday)

3.  2020 day of voters represent 149k or 6.3% of the total (.3% bump from yesterday)

4.  2020 non voters are 387k, young voters 18 - 29 outpace old ones 65+ by 35k

A little something different today, turn out by Democratic Congressional districts:

GA 2- 138k 25.6%

GA 4 - 138k 26.5%

GA 5 - 162k 26.1%

GA 6 - 182k 36.8%

GA 13 - 167k 27.3%

 

 

Georgia is the only state so far that has eclipsed 40% of 2020 turnout

Vermont, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Dakota, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida are in the 30-39% range

No need to traumatize actual children with the official Republican platform.

Boerne is a nice visit but it’s also the “fuck you, I got mine” capital of Texas.

It being completely in Kendall County is it's saving grace(for now).
