this genius says that minority votes in Georgia are down

There may be something weird going on in ATL / Athens specifically regarding GOTV. Anecdotally, fewer Black people doing canvassing than in past years.  Maybe simply because Warnock isn't on the ballot like 2022, but I've heard it.

This for all the Bush-loving conservatives in here, especially the Texans:

I have a question for you in the aftermath of Trump proposing a firing squad for Liz Cheney -- the daughter of his VP?

Where is W on this?

What isn't he denouncing Trump, right now. 

What's he waiting on? 

Where's your Texas hero? 

Just wondering...

The Dixie chicks were wrong about Bush. He’s from Connecticut. Michael Bolton is the one who should be embarrassed.

So we're all going to our local Chili's on Wednesday in solidarity if the election goes our way, correct?

If I see any of you, I'll knowingly nod.

Tobias = rich kid.

Are you saying that Trump doesn't have strong support from poor White people?

He does from some. I spend my days with poor white dudes among others, they aren't universally, or even majority, Trumpy.

Upper middle suburban white dudes who like F250s, or have construction companies, or work in finance or plenty of other cross sections are like 99% Trump true believers and there are millions of them.

 

Hell I posted the dude with the Trump Train Fountain speedboat in here, that's like the median Trump acolyte.

 

How many of you guys know anyone that was at the J6 riot? I talk to one almost every day in a professional capacity. Owns a small excavation and grading company, been raking it in past few years. Literally 100% opposite of people who have been left behind supposedly in this economy.

No offense, but I can only assume you’re being willfully obtuse here.

Can you be unwillfully obtuse?  I think that’s just being “dumb.”

That's wild. Macomb loves them some Trump. They have a fucking parade for his ass a few miles north of Warren in Shelby Township every Sunday. Seriously. I don't even like driving through, it gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Macomb was about Trump +8.

I'm not sure what a Tobias is, but there's a lot more of the people I'm referring to than Cleeti in this country.

Thank you for attempting to use the proper form of Cletus when referring to multiple numbers of them.

My wife teaches in Macomb. 

I won't trash it too much because I think there are a couple of surly posters who seem like decent people that live there. But yeah. Lots of large pickup trucks. Lots of I seen.

I don't understand why these numbers are different, even slightly.

There is always some chance that she would be elected, but die/become incapacitated before inauguration, even in the absence of fuckery. Also, the wins-election bet might pay sooner than becomes-president bet, so there would be a time value of money/interest value difference. So they might reasonably not be *exactly* the same.

Half this thread (if not more) voted for Bush, but I don’t think a single one would stand up for him now. Most have realized they were duped by their upbringing and environment (although some still cling to some silly notion of fiscal conservatism or libertarianism). 

I feel embarrassed that at the time, I thought if Bush, McCain, and Romney were elected, the world would end.  Little did I know what was coming. 
I long for the day that the Republicans were at least sane.

I'm not doubting your experience. I don't know anyone who went to the J6 riot. And I agree that wealthy White folk without college degrees break for Trump bigly.

What I do know is that I grew up in rural OK, and went to a small school (65 in my senior class) where most kids didn't go to college (3 of 65). Pre-Trump, no political discussion was had. Post-Trump, there are flags flying all over.

So those are our experiences. Data says Trump wins 60% of working class White folk in 2016 and 2020. I anticipate he'll get a similar percentage this year.

That why I said "it's both."

Seriously, does he think Liz has, I dunno, bone spurs or something?

Maybe he’s thinking about all the deferments her father got that kept him out of Vietnam and just got confused.

I'm certainly not saying the uneducated whites aren't breaking Trump, but what I see is people underestimating just how many middle class suburbanites exist.

 

At any rate, it's an interesting conversation but now its time for me to retire and read a bit before bed so I'll leave it here. I have full faith the night shift will have much for us to ponder in the morning.

I was thinking earlier that it might be a good idea to have my posting privileges suspended late Tuesday/early Wednesday. Because I guarantee you that Trump will declare victory, and will say something along the lines of "Wait until you see what happens on January 6th!". 

More importantly, AOC is looking shockingly rude on MSNBC right now.

He sent me a direct message on Twitter declaring, “You picked the wrong guy to fuck with,” which, I assume, given his apparent interest in cinema, was a line from one of his favorite gangster films. He then proceeded to threaten libel action.

Don’t listen to Trumpanzees.  They are being gaslighted every which way by Fox News and pumped full of disinformation on social media.

Listen to Donald Trump himself.  He will tell you everything you need to know.

His meltdowns on social media the past two days, his raging about how Liz Cheney should be shot, these are not the ramblings of a man who thinks he’s winning.

The media wants a horse race, not a blowout.  Everybody tunes out on a blowout.

I'm here for the Harris blowout. I'll tune in and pop the champagne!

It's okay to say "we agree."
