I just realized the US has a very progressive policy where the urban bourgeois elite have their votes count at a reduced rate to the proletarian countryside

for example the dems got 51% of the vote in WI local elections but they will be a substantially minority party with like 30% representation b/c all the votes were from the wealthier wisconsin cities

America's progressive voting laws will make sure that the party of racists and the KKK, the Democrats, will continue to be suppressed in favor of the party of the salt of the earth working class.

It's almost time for the Democrats to poo poo the bed on the one issue that kept them from being completely destroyed, abortion, while inventing excuses that persuade nobody.

Have an older family member who was at one point a semi-prominent member of the Minnesota state GOP/legislature. (Of the sort who disliked Trump but voted for him anyway because he's a gently caress-my-morals, follow-the-hive party man - those are the instincts that GET you a career with the Republicans to begin with).

Apparently despite the Democratic spending advantage, internal polling for both the Democrats and Republicans had the Republicans ahead in Minnesota and set to take the state House as well. Then Trump swooped in and made some endorsements, hoping to sail the crest of a wave and seize momentum for his re-election bid.

He admits that you can never really know with this stuff, but he's convinced this cost them the suburbs. I don't know either, but it'd be very funny if it did.

I feel the truth of it is less important than the fact that it's being articulated at all. The knives might be out for Trump. We're even starting to see it from chuds like Cernovich, not just the suit-wearing, Jeb!-voting party drones who'd never act on it anyway.

Most importantly, I will be high as gently caress as I watch these developments unfold.

this won't matter at all until the average Trump supporter stops believing in their meme god king

Cernovich-tier grifters have no more influence on that base's Trump allegiance than a Fox News talking head

half of those people already tried to be anti-Trump when this all began, before completely relenting when it was obvious which way the wind was blowing

this all feels like just another round of people forgetting that the powers that be on the right cannot directly bully their own base in the same way Dems do

Yeah people have been predicting [insert event] will finally be the downfall of Trump pretty much since he tossed his hat into the ring for the 2016 primary so I'm not buying any narrative about how these (relatively) poor midterm results for the GOP are going to tank him.

With that said though, a significant amount of loser stink is definitely starting to build up around him, and while that's apparently the path to party superstardom if you're a Democrat it is more often than not a kiss of death in the GOP.

Sure, but much like Trump, their opinions are influenced by whatever they just saw on TV. If the tenor of coverage goes from "oh no, I'm a media elite and I'm soooo scared of Trump" to "ha, look at this fuckin' loser, anyway here's a story about drag shows" it'll affect the way they view him.

He's a creature of media - it's what wins him his support, and if he loses it that'll be what loses it. I will concede that's a BIG if, and I'll believe it when I see the body dead and cold in the ground long enough for me to piss on it.

That being said, DeSantis would absolutely get destroyed in a debate with him. Not by any actual arguments or even memeable dunk lines, but by the simple fact that he comes off like a dweeb on TV.

I was in NYC for just 4 years in college and was shot 7 times (and I was lucky; most people I knew were shot even more than that). So I'm calling bullshit on this, unless you just happen to be the luckiest (or bravest) man alive.

bullets georg, who was shot over 11,000 times, is an outlier and should not have been counted
