Is it that uncommon for a statement to be unattributed? I wonder if no one wanted their name on a statement they know is false.

All of Clinton's are attributed so I also wonder if that's the case. Especially when coupled with Trump's already observed concerns that his campaign statements will come up in trials.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:

People really like the idea of small government, individual responsibility, and bootstraps. But when you ask them to adopt specific policies to support those ideas, they hate it.

IMO this is because people don't really understand what government actually does - they're repeatedly told by political figures they trust that government is bloated and out of control, so they imagine all these wasteful programs that can simply be cut at no real cost. It's like when John McCain stands up and talks about grants to study turtles mating, or when Fox News loses it over some stupid expenditure like a conference or some stupid internal video, people like to believe that there's this massive amount of completely flippant, wasted spending that amounts to crony capitalism or naked mismanagement. Then conservatives bait and switch by using that "small government" mandate to attack broadly popular programs, essentials like education, or services targeted towards the poor and minorities (which those voters may not directly feel). I don't think most Republican voters even realize the degree to which basic services like the justice system or public education are dying due to state-level austerity.

Oh I know it's all lies, but the context it came up in was literally "Weapons is why," followed by "You are repeating Democratic talking points and I don't care to read your posts," which was unusually honest, I thought.

It is both. Active malice in the red states, mixture of malice and Tjomas being literally told how to vote in scotus, and frustration in lower federal courts when Supreme Court lets gerrymandering and poll closures slide as precedent.

scotus striking down vra preclearance under section 5 isn't directly responsible for the cuts in nc. well kinda

in fact it was the post-scalia court punting on the 4th circuit striking down the last voter suppression law that did it

the law as written required the same number of hours and sites; when it was struck it freed counties to do whatever they wanted

Trump's overweight, admits he eats like crap, doesn't seem to sleep, Lord knows he probably abuses some kind of pills, and then you throw on the election stress, rage, and nonstop campaigning. Melania's probably calculated his life expectancy, looked at the date, and concluded she could just wait him out.

Though his will probably requests that all his money be used for an elaborate mausoleum, with all the leftover burned on his pyre, just cause he's a prick like that.

He is going to leave her with six million in hidden debt and nothing else.
