I have a cousin who is half Puerto-Rican and half-Dominican. He is very conservative due to being in the army for decades and surrounded by that authoritarian conservative mindset. Also from growing up in a very rural area in his teenage years. 

Clearly voted for Trump in 2016, based on his social media posts, and I am unsure if he voted for him in 2020. 

He doesn't live in a swing state (he lives in a solidly red state), but there are many like him who do. 

Even if you lose a few thousand people from this, that can be the difference between winning or losing a swing state. 

Many older white Trump voters either died from covid due to being anti-vaxxers or moved to Florida. That's partly why Trump's campaign was trying to manufacture the idea that he was gaining support amongst black and hispanic men. Good way to lose any actual gains he made there with his 21st century Nazi MSG rally. Basically it comes down to how much they can delude themselves that Trump is not racist in a dangerous way and how misogynistic they are.

Honestly, I live in a red state but I am seeing a lot of batches of Harris/Walz yard signs and only a few yards with Trump signs. I don’t think anything is changing as far as the rest of the state but it’s interesting to see it almost look even in regards to yard signs.

Watched some NFL yesterday. Most conservative commercials hammered transgender and ended with "liberals are for they/them, not you."

I don't have a point, but was surprised how often I saw the same punchline for different conservative candidates.



Activote and Emerson College have the general election as being even. with Trump at 50% and 49% respectively.



Lol. Musk's PAC literally has the handle @America on Twitter.



Smdh.



Around the Network

The 66-year-old has been exploring moving manufacturing of his products, like wool shirts with snaps and canvas jackets, to India or Pakistan - or perhaps closing his Wyoming Traders business, which employs 16 people, and retiring altogether.

Chadwick said tariffs were a "tax on the American people" and warned that the expense for a company like his of opening a factory in the US was unrealistic.

But as he prepares to cast his ballot, he expects to swallow his qualms about tariffs in favour of other priorities, such as illegal immigration and opposition to abortion.

"I will vote for Trump even though he's going to hurt our company if he does what he says he's going to do," he said.

Fucking over the economy and my business so that I can take away rights from women.



Harris-Walz campaign gameplan for Monday, 10/28

What's even more hilarious is that the account uses the wrong flag. They should show their real flag with pride. You know, the C-Word flag.



Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

Honestly it is disgusting. Makes me wonder if going home is the right decision.



I didn't realize how obsessed Elon Musk is with spreading bullshit. He even commented on the Austrian election where the far-right party won, but won't be in the government:

"The hypocrisy of the dictatorial left claiming to defend democracy while in fact opposing it!" - Elon Musk on October 22nd

It's so funny when democracy works.
