President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

With Georgia, Democrats finally got one of those "someday the demographics are gonna flip it" deep red states that they always talk about. But Wisconsin looks especially ripe for the picking for a non-Trump Republican.

Good point, Mr. Stain. Millennials and educated 30s-40s flock to Atlanta. Wisconsin has Milwaukee. If you're a millennial, why live there when Chicago is so close, and Madison just isn't big enough to carry the whole state. The same with Ohio. Cleveland, Columbus and Cincy get some millennials, but they are not considered hip in any way, shape or form.

In Michigan, a revival of Detroit would help; I've heard some rumblings that it's becoming marginally hip because housing is so affordable.

Kids from the Upper Midwest flock to Denver and MSP. That's a big reason why those states are blue. Same with Georgia/Atlanta, and Carolina/Research Triangle and Texas/Metroplex, San Antonio and Austin, Houston to a lesser extent. Carolina might be about 10 years behind, and it doesn't have the urban black population Georgia does, but it's bluer.Liberal millennials will live in the south because it's not grampa's cracker south anymore.

I totally agree with you on Biden, that he was the only guy who could beat Trump. That's why he had to be the guy, because beating Trump was priority A. Nothing good happens for four years if Trump wins. Maybe the left wing of the party won't get all they want under Biden, but they get nothing under Trump. And AOC is very smart. She'll play the game, compromise when necessary, and get some stuff done, maybe an inch or two at a time, but over time she'll move the needle.

 

No voter suppression in 2016? Not so.

Yes, the election was rigged. Here's the proof.

If I said it once, I said it a hundred times.

I think this is very likely. the different in the vote right now is 650,000. Imagine the population shift in four years -- 2016 to 2019 saw it grown by nearly 1.4 million. That's at least a baseline leading into whatever would get added in 2024

 

It means so much not to have, for the next four years:
Trump
A lack of Covid response
Trump's kids
Kushner
Barr
Pompeo
DeVos
DeJoy
Miller
And all the rest.

That is what was won today.

 

I suspect there have been quite a few that were thwarted in the planning stages, which we'll probably find out about in tiny tiny drips at a time.

 

Suck it, Geraldine!
