i think we've only been able to confirm that there are just roving tribes of trump supporters doing stuff sometimes, at least for columbus. we've seen a group at the board of elections for a few hours a day but i've got no idea what their affiliation really is. the only consistent sign of GOP life is their mailers and yard signs.

I'm up in Delaware and I've seen not one person canvassing, just signs, lots of signs.

here's a grim fuckin thread for your Friday evening

https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/794680771944427524

2/One faction said the GOP should aggressively court Hispanics and compromise on immigration.
3/The other factor said the GOP should try to A) radicalize whites against minorities, and B) suppress minority voter turnout by any means.
4/At the time, most people assumed the first faction would win - HAD to win - this internal GOP debate. But nope.
5/The total GOP embrace of Trump means there's no going back. The GOP will win with racist radicalization/vote suppression, or not at all.
6/This is the death knell for our democracy. A slow move toward minority disenfranchisement will kill nonwhites' faith in elections.
7/Whereas successful radicalization of white GOP voters means they view any election where minorities *do* get to vote as illegitimate.
8/The result: No presidential election in the U.S. will be viewed as legitimate by the losers, ever again.
9/The result won't necessarily be civil war, but it will be Venezuela-style dysfunction. Mass protests, scattered increasing violence...
10/Security services taking sides, rumblings of military coups, corrupt charismatic leaders...win or lose, Trump is just the beginning.
11/Nor do I hold out much hope that GOP elites can reassert control over their party. They tried that this season and failed utterly.
12/Radicalization of whites against minorities has now snowballed beyond GOP elites' ability to control it at all.
13/Meanwhile, increasingly disenfranchised Dem voters will lose faith in the electoral process, and might stop even trying to vote.
14/But since demographic changes are baked in, this means we'll soon have a disenfranchised majority ruled by a radicalized minority.
15/In any case, I don't see a path forward for American democracy in the short term.
16/In the long term the solution is for whites and nonwhites to learn to live with each other, accept each other, etc. This IS happening.
17/But I am pessimistic that it will happen in time to save our democracy from Latin American style dysfunction. The die is cast. (end)

not to mention voter suppression efforts also drive up minority enthusiasm for voting for obvious reason

Yeah. Plus young white people don't hate minorities as much as their parents, even if the stereotype of everyone just being one happy rainbow is mostly confined to college graduates and is an exaggeration even then.

He's right about what Republican intent would lead to, but voter suppression efforts haven't been very successful. As long as the judiciary isn't completely taken over by white nationalists, courts will strike down major violations. John Roberts made it easier for little poo poo to sneak through, but not on the level required for this guy's nightmare white minority ruling over brown and black people forever scenario. Demographics mean a Republican Party wedded to white nationalism dies very soon unless the military just takes over for them (or unless white Hispanics very quickly decide they're white and don't give a poo poo how badly people treat other Hispanics).

The problem there is that the Republicans have basically made themselves into the white nationalists party. If they try to make the steps to be less racist, they get eaten alive by the angry white men that comprise so much of their base.

Hello Nasty Women and Bad Hombres!

Goons have raised over $25,000 for RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network). It's a fantastic non profit group that spends 93 cents of every dollar donated on directly helping survivors and preventing sexual violence. Anything you're able to give will matter and make a difference!

Join us and post your donation in this thread to add to the tally! And if you'd like a sweet as hell gang tag, go on to post in the Nasty Woman / Bad Hombre Donation Thread.

Let's do something Good!

people keep saying this but i don't think it is accurate at all. november 9th, party is gonna reorganize, disavow trump, and get back on track. the racists go back to thinking the system is broken and still voting republican because GUNS.

gop will either double down on evangelicals, anti-trumpers, or the hispanic vote. a "trump" coalition cannot exist because it loses women and you cannot do anything without women. cruz, kasich, and ryan are potential guys to build upon, rubio might be damaged goods.

not to say a faction cannot exist, but trump will be disavowed by anything considered to be the "gop" itself. refuse to say gop establishment cause the way people use it is dumb.
