Sure there are. His core, however, are white Christians. They have consistently heen hos strongest constituency. He’s made gains among minorities, particularly Latinos, who are somewhat socially conservative, but his strongest base are white evangelicals, and that is who he panders to with his policies.

i lived in the Southern US. for 30 years. Evangelical grievance is a big feature of politics and society in that part of the US. 

Both things feel very true. 

Trump is a symptom, and feels like we have been on the path to him for a few decades at least. 

But Trump also somehow seems more marketable than most of his ilk. Somehow he gets an enormous benefit of the doubt, that I doubt even JD Vance would get. 

Years of grooming Middle America through shitty "reality" TV and conspiracy theories.

But Trump was also the George Wallace presidency the South wanted in 1968, in the wake of their anger over the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

When I posted this two and a half months ago, the Liberal party of Canada trailed the Conservatives by 29%.

In the time since, the Conservative movement has collapsed, and the Liberals now lead by 2%

An update from Canada: 

Three years of Conservative dominance of the opinion polls collapses in two months. A few things led to this happening.

1. Conservatives have no solutions for people while shilling for the deeply unpopular oil industry.

2. Bombarding Canadians with irritating "verb the noun" style political ad spam with little depth and are quite grating to Canadians during a time of rising Canadian patriotism.

3. Much of that political ad spam does Trump style bashing of Canada, which in turn shows the Conservative government fund paying to associate themselves with the most unpopular elements of the US government.

4. General shift away from being swayed by pessimism and cynicism, Liberals = optimists, Conservatives = cynical pessimists.

5. The general incompetency of the Conservative Party's strategy. Their political messaging is really missing the mark, about as effective as very transparent strawmen or red herrings. In other words, they're not tackling anything real because they don't have much of a case. They're just making stuff up and hoping it sticks... and for anyone who's paying attention and has half a brain, it's not.

As a note, the political ideology of federal Canadian parties are as follows: Liberals (Center to left of center), Conservatives (Right of center to right) and NDP (Left of center to left), Bloc (Regionalism left of center), Greens (Green politics), PPC (Alternative für Kanada).

There's another story here, many NDP voters are also shifting to support Liberals in response to the Conservative attacks. Many of them for the first time.

At least when it comes time for me to swear allegiance to that fucking King, I won't feel so dirty doing so this time (yes, even if you swore allegiance to the crown in another country, you still have to swear again in Canada because technically, it's a different crown, just the same head).

It's too bad cutting off power will largely affect Northern states whose citizens mostly voted against Trump. Trump's Southern base hates the rest of the country so much that they'll just laugh when that happens.

"Peter Navarro, one of Donald Trump’s closest advisers, is pushing US negotiators to discuss reworking the border with their Canadian counterparts, The Telegraph can reveal."

So good to not have an accelerationist president. 

Love to see Trump in part be to blame for the collapsing Conservatives in Canada, now if only Keir would get his fucking ass off the fence, Lol.

Nazi America.

Meanwhile Trump pressured Romania to release sex traffickers, the Tate Brothers.

I wonder how Republicans would react if Biden did that.

And now the Tate brothers have been released from custody in Romania and are on their way to the United States, courtesy of the Trump administration. I remember someone on this board scoffing at me when I first posted that the administration was pressuring Romania to release them.

Ron DeSantis is pissed off that they might choose to settle in Florida, saying he hoped that Pam Bondi (who was formerly a Florida AG) and Kristi Noem would bar the Tates from entering the country. He was apparently unaware at the time that the Trump administration had pressured the Romanian government to release the Tates. Now he's consulting with his own legal team to find methods of barring the Tates from being in Florida, since he knows they're likely to show up at Mar-a-Lardo.

If they kill medicaid, they kill me. Knowing my heart. It would be days and weeks of suffering before meeting a violent end. If I lose Medicaid, I will commit suicide so my death is quick and not long and suffering. Nazi's want us dead. People who voted for these fuckers are accessories to murder. Hope it was worth it. I don't want to die but it seems I will be dead before 2025 is over.
