Never underestimate the GA GOP or Kemp to pull something out of their tricks bag before November.

I know it’s almost 50 years ago but crazy to look at the EC map for 1976. South almost uniformly going Democratic and Cali, PNW and a lot of the Midwest going Red.

Doesn't directly match.
That is what he said he wants. His supporters are wearing t-shirts calling for a dictatorship.
The people involved with project 2025 - mostly past Trump administration officials - are looking for Trump to outsource hiring and nominations to them.
Probably the last time I'll discuss this with you. You're not looking at anything with any sort of objectivity.
Ah yes absolutely every prediction forgot that haha.
The polls were completely wrong.

The Air Conditioning of America
How the Air Conditioner Changed America | The Takeaway | WNYC Studios
The air conditioner has become a key tool in the preservation of art and artifacts, and it also changed American politics and geography.
But the air conditioner has also transformed the way Americans live—and where we live.
Steven Johnson, author of "How We Got to Now: Six Innovations That Made the Modern World," explains how the AC transformed American geography, demographics and, eventually, electoral politics. He says that, thanks to the AC, more Americans moved to the South and West, eventually paving the way for President Ronald Reagan.
From memory NC GOP primary was won by a complete nutter.

Because Trump has policies, or does 2/3 of the stuff just not have any Trump policy at all?
Funny republicans “block” everything Democrats do but apparently will just flip the entire country upside down dictatorship style if Trump wins
I mean, Republicans literally blocked a bill (proposed by Republicans) about the border on Trumps instructions, because they control that section of the administration.
There's also the whole thing Trump keeps saying about subverting democratic institutions, which, weirdly, the Democrats don't plan on doing. Strange you are incapable of acknowledging this.

Is there a record for how many times a poster can be objectively incorrect without any sense of self awareness?

74 seems to be the record.
Mods hiding this number from everyone.
Kamala just has to hope that the head of the FBI doesn't write a bullshit letter just before the election, then have the NYT run bullshit "but her emails" non stop while ignoring every crazy thing Trump says/does.
Oh shit. This could end badly.

I 99% blame James Comey for the past 8 years.
Because he doesn't get enough votes in Blue states like California, he thinks there must be fraudulent vote counting occurring.
Now that's a very special brand of stupidity.

Putin is so desperate for his puppet Trump to get in, so he can finally do what he wants with Ukraine.
I have sadly ventured back onto X in recent times with the election coming up. And have noticed so many accounts that look fake, regurgitating the same old BS as each other, like it is a copy paste. With some plastic bimbo looking model as the profile pic, so perverted old conservative men latch on and follow the account like a dog. Sadly their base believe that every post they see online that aligns with their ideals, is fact. Without needing any sources to back up a claim. So it doesn't take much for these fake accounts to spread fake stuff.
Russia is well known to be a big player behind misinformation online. Particularly on X. They are known to use bot accounts, and sometimes real people operate the fake account to engage with other people directly, though they often spend time aggressively abusing and attacking other people. They are well known to spread misinformation about Science, Medicine, History and Archeology. As well as politics, culture wars and pushing nationalist ideology. Anything that can help interfere with elections to give them a more favorable leader. Or to fuel the fake culture wars right wingers seem to lap up.
The amount of fake accounts from all sources and locations will be in the tens of thousands. FB has the same issues, with fake history and science accounts pushing to white wash history, push the Tartaria BS. But mostly it is accounts from India and Africa pushing financial scams. Both X and FB are shockingly terrible with dealing with both. But it is worse when it is real peoples identities that are being stolen and used.
According to the link you posted. This is the main thing the European Union is trying to get X to crack down on. Nothing to do with freedom of speech the Musk and MAGA suck offs run with. And Musk actually told one of them to go f**k themselves when told to deal with the fake accounts? Shows how much Musk doesn't give a stuff about the problem.

Yeah saw that report. I wouldn't be surprised if Kemp was right with that commission, but quietly so he had plausible deniability. Now he can be seen to be supporting democracy by moving against some of the more extreme of the board members.

his only conviction is self interest. doesn't give a shit about anything else. even pisses on his supporters calling them "basement dwellers" according to his former communications advisor. the creature has no redeeming features. who could blame the trophy wife from distancing herself from him.
you are going to be sorely mistaken. Harris will sweep the independent and undecided vote. The closer we get to the election the more coverage Trump gets and the more the general US population (non MAGA) remember the shitshow of his previous term and how they don't want him anywhere near the WH. I'm tipping Harris will win quite easily in the end.
You know most Americans don’t remember this so called shit show?
They are experiencing similar cost of living pressures to us that didn’t exist under Trump. Reasons aside many will vote because life was better then than it is now.

This Arlington Cemetery political stunt is starting to blow up in their faces and they got poor Vance running political speak on it.
Hes gone from "It was just a minor altercation" to "Look, assaulting a cemetery worker isnt anywhere near as bad as Walz!"

Other soldiers familes not happy grave stones filmed illegally and shown on that tic toc vid
The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald J. Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed.
Person wont be laying charges in fear of their safety from trump nutso
A woman who works at the cemetery filed an incident report with the military authorities over the altercation. But the official, who has not been identified, later declined to press charges. Military officials said she feared Mr. Trump’s supporters pursuing retaliation.

Sorry, but
Food, fuel and rent are the indicators that matter to the majority. They are all super high.
You think the average voter punter will look at that and go “yep things are awesome even though my groceries and rent are sky high”
