  1. I'm certainly not saying the uneducated whites aren't breaking Trump, but what I see is people underestimating just how many middle class suburbanites exist. At any rate, it's an interesting conversation but now its time for me to retire and read a bit before bed so I'll leave it here. I have full faith the night shift will have much for us to ponder in the morning.
  2. He does from some. I spend my days with poor white dudes among others, they aren't universally, or even majority, Trumpy. Upper middle suburban white dudes who like F250s, or have construction companies, or work in finance or plenty of other cross sections are like 99% Trump true believers and there are millions of them. Hell I posted the dude with the Trump Train Fountain speedboat in here, that's like the median Trump acolyte. How many of you guys know anyone that was at the J6 riot? I talk to one almost every day in a professional capacity. Owns a small excavation and grading company, been raking it in past few years. Literally 100% opposite of people who have been left behind supposedly in this economy.
  3. I'm not sure what a Tobias is, but there's a lot more of the people I'm referring to than Cleeti in this country.
  4. Aren't there like half a million of them in Florida?
  5. Totally fine to disagree. Empirical evidence has shown who they are to where I'm pretty confident in my opinion though. At the end of the day, from what you have posted over the year I surmise our policy preferences are pretty closely aligned, at least economically. The only real difference I see is you have an eye to the middle class outcomes and I wouldn't care if the US middle class drove off a cliff.
  6. But that is who the core Trump supporter is.
  7. Exactly. Core Trump support isn't remotely tied to who didn't win the inflation lottery of the past couple years, in fact it can't be tied to it at all because of the very fact it goes back 8+ years. To this day it is insane how people writ large still don't get who the core Trump supporters really are. It's upper middle suburban/exurban whites of certain persuasions. It's not Cleetus and Meemaw.
  8. I know this is hard for progressives to accept, but the problem is that Trump's real core supports do not benefit from any of the positive consequences of a Harris presidency, in the same way they didn't benefit from the economic recovery under Biden or really any of the prosperity of the last 30 years. They are mad about it, and rightfully so. They don't think Trump will make it better and they don't give a fuck. Trump is revenge on the winners. I can promise you everything you just said is bullshit. I am happy to take you for a tour of my neighborhood and show you the absolute obscene privilege that s been all in on MAGA.
  9. Overall I think this is correct. I have sensed a little uptick in the Harris campaign vibes and maybe pause in the Turnip campaign ones this week though. I'm guessing that is probably from analysis of where the votes are coming from so far but that's just a shot in the dark.
  10. So the Trump Train boat guy here is getting drug on Reddit right now. https://old.reddit.com/r/VirginiaBeach/comments/1ggfhu6/rump_train_boat_is_parked_outside_by_the_central/
  11. I'm not looking at shit till Wednesday morning
  12. So this is one thing I have meant to mention but keep forgetting. One of the things that has given me the most hope in Harris' campaign is she brought on Plouffe. He understands data better than anyone else at this level.
  13. I mean, if the shoe fits. My uncle is a retired Episcopalian priest, and one of the most liberal people I know.
  14. I totally agree. I just think it exceeds the scope of this current thread or moment. I've started to type something, then thought better of it because it's such an involved topic.
  15. So I don't think this is the reason, but there has been an extremely noticeable uptick in Texas license plates in the past couple months here. Like WTF is going on level. I really have been trying to figure out why.
  16. I definitely do not share that feeling.
  17. Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP.
