In many of those races the current polls have everyone in a dead heat.

re: violent rhetoric Discovered that in the county in which we just moved, they apparently post the political affiliation of the adults in the house via county run website (can't recall if Mrs. said it was GIS or otherwise). I'm not tinfoil-hat level paranoid, but I do now live in a very red district and the knowledge that that sort of thing is out there with the crap being said on Twitter et al about "dealing with the libs," is worrisome to a degree. Protect ya neck, goons.

Trump seriously stated, and still likely believes, that there were over three million illegal votes cast for Clinton, and that the real numbers were a landslide victory. He’ll do the exact same thing in 2020 to explain away a loss. Whether or not he actually does anything remains to be seen, but he will never, ever admit he lost.

It was stated as such once she was cast. They don't mention it in the trailer though (Bond just goes "You're a 00?") Which makes me wonder if it was a half measure to avoid angering the chuds further.

Even in 2017, up to a few months after the election DID HILLARY RIG THE ELECTIONS!?!?! was a conservative talking point, I'm assuming because no one expected Trump to win and that's literally all they had been prepared to talk about for months.

BLS under trump is no more or less dishonest than it would be under sanders

The NYTimes has a somewhat decent article (shocking) about trans issues (extra shocking) and the peculiar way in which the Trump Administration is systematically targeting the trans community and individuals. A lot of articles are out there describing each anti-trans policy, but few really seem to appreciate the scope of the effort. quote:Trump’s Rollback of Transgender Rights Extends Through Entire Government I know everyone will want to blame this all on Pence but the hosed up truth is that there are so many bigoted evangelical monsters in this administration that it really is hard to say for sure who is the main push behind this or even that it is being led by a single person.

this article is great quote:The Post verified workers’ employment histories by reviewing pay stubs and tax documents and, when possible, corroborating accounts with their colleagues. The workers uniformly contend that their managers were aware of their undocumented status, a topic they said came up during conversations and workplace disputes.  quote:Trump and his family spent so much time at their properties — and still do — that many Trump Organization employees have stories about encounters with them. But the undocumented workers were often left to perform the most intimate and personal work. Those who cooked and served Trump knew that he liked his cheeseburgers well-done and his Diet Coke in small glass bottles with a plastic straw that no one could be seen touching. quote:One day in 2013, Viktor Knavs went out to play golf wearing one of Trump’s discarded red baseball caps. When Trump spotted him on the fairway, he blew up, and he ordered his father-in-law, in front of other golfers, to remove the hat and get off the course. Diaz and Morales were in the villa when Knavs returned, threw the hat on the ground and cursed Trump. quote:Many of Diaz and Morales’s friends and colleagues, a tightknit community of immigrants in Bound Brook, N.J., also turned against them. quote:The New York State attorney general’s office opened an inquiry and interviewed more than 20 former workers about potential wage violations at the company, but former workers say they have heard nothing in months. An official in the attorney general’s office said last month that the inquiry is ongoing but declined to offer further details.

Trans issues is one of those things where I think misinformation is just way too common. Especially with people over 40 or so, they’ll repeat so many lines about how it’s all men saying they’re women to assault them in bathrooms. There’s this base level of misunderstanding that they just can’t seem to get over.

The 2020 election will likely come down to North Carolina and Wisconsin, both of which have very narrow leads for the Democrats (with some candidates doing better and others simply losing).

The evangelical and far right groups behind it (think Family Research Council and a whole bunch of other SPLC recognized anti-gay hate groups) are especially trying to co-opt progressive language and wording to push transphobia, to try and make being transphobic seem like a feminist position.
