I work at a manufacturing plant in bumfuck Alabama and yesterday as Wisconsin then Michigan slowly slipped away was great. They latched onto every Facebook conspiracy theory there was.
Let me preface what I'm about to say. I am not a Trump supporter, I am not a Republican, nor am I a Biden supporter or a Democrat. Having said that, if you are not a fan of the new Republican party (the party of Trump if you will), I'd be a little downtrodden right now (and I know I am). This election had an absolutely razor thin margin despite the fact that the Republican party had someone who thinks and acts like a child at the top of their ticket. Nobody is mistaking Joe Biden as the perfect candidate of course, but the Democrats should have been able to run a bag of dog droppings and won handily. As I posted in the election thread there was the start of a demographic shift that is concerning. There was the 96% latino vote county in Texas for instance that was 60+ for Clinton in 2016, but was only 5+ for Biden. The vote in Miami-Dade. I'm looking at NYT exit poll figures (idk if that carries any weight here because they were made to look like fools like pretty much every other media outlet) but it says 12% black vote for Trump. 28% LGBTQ for Trump. An astounding 72% voted for Trump and said their financial situation is better than it was this time 4 years ago. 42% of them had an income under $50,000. Keeping all of this in mind, if the GOP finds anyone (and I do mean anyone) that can speak and act like an adult to run for president in 2024, I'd be very worried. Just my two cents.
Dems definitely have problems but they've also won 7 of the last 8 popular votes but only have 3 of the 9 justices on the Scotus and still have trouble getting a majority. Any type of serious analysis should start with why the system produces that
If anything it just shows you how broken the senate and EC are right now due to valuing Acres over population
I need to go back and see if Tommy Jeffs wrote anything about this after the Louisiana purchase, I wonder if he thought that whole territory was going to remain one state.
It’s amazing the libs tried to steal this election and almost got away with it. This will be decided in the courts. Trump will be a president for all of us. Count yourselves lucky. You’ve been saved from yourselves.
I'm thinking about riding through Trump National(Lake Norman) up here to see how they're handling things...
I’m astounded by all the Right Wing hate about Biden getting more mail in votes. Your dipshit president told people to not vote by mail.
It's depressing that we've known for months that one candidate would get millions more votes but not which candidate would win
honestly I know we haven’t seen any violence yet but the constant undermining of democracy is just asking for these hands
