90% of black men will vote blue because we understand voting for Trump is tantamount to chickens voting for Colonel Sanders. It’s just not prudent.

No one says it but black voters are the most pragmatic voting block in the country.

I didn’t think the rhetoric could get much worse. It’s getting worse and we’ll be lucky to live through this. Someone talk me off the brisket ledge I’m out on.

seriously?  There are currently 4 living former Presidents, not counting the 5th who is running to be Pres (and the 6th who is still in the role for another 5 months). 

NONE of them are bad mouthing Trump the way you are asking.  And 2 of those 4 (42 & 44) are pretty fucking influential people whose stated opinions matter to a lot of us.

 

and the reason for that is, other than the Orange Man, every other former President has taken the policy to keep their mouths shut about their successors because its a job only 44 other people have had (Cleveland twice).  And its common amongst former Presidents to not talk shit about another current or former President.

 

like it or not, thats probably a good thing long term for the country because in the past when the former President told the world shit was going south, it only convoluted the fucking elections even more... with Teddy Roosevelt being the #1 example

You think Bill Clinton hasn’t had negative things to say about Trump? Think again.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/18/bill-clinton-2020-dnc-speech-398182

Both Clintons, Biden, Harris, Romney, and McCain have been outspoken in their criticism of Trump. Dubya hasn’t said anything. You can excuse it as “decorum.” One might call him a wuss. Dick Cheney has been outspoken; George should probably say something. But he’s kind of a dunce and really wasn’t qualified to be president himself so maybe saying anything would only invite criticism of his own legacy. Plus he’s probably a little bit grateful that Trump makes his disaster of a presidency look better by comparison.

I’m telling you, I’ve been labeled liberal by my family and you know me - I’m anything but.

Oh I believe you. I'm in the same boat with family, friends, and coworkers, but I lean into that shit now. It happened again last weekend when a newer friend of mine locally made some assumptions about my politics because of what I look like and where I live. I definitely did not bite my tongue and I doubt he'll bring shit up like that around me again. I also had a really long talk with my old boss (who you know) back before Christmas and got pretty forceful with him and basically shamed him for still supporting the orange shithead. And tbh, if you compare what I (and increasingly you) believe vs what the Republican party of today stands for, I am liberal.

Hope y’all are ready to go to war and fight back against this every day.

Trumps check to Kamala and Vance's past comments about Trump should be plastered on billboards throughout every swing state and played by commercial nonstop. This simulation is jumping the shark with absurdities.

They will respond poorly with terrible rhetoric, and most people will see through it and be turned off. Let them talk.

It will come down to whether the military will follow orders from a Democrat president in January 2025. If it gets to that point, that is. Until then everything else is just grandstanding and empty threats and I'm not super worried about an actual civil war. If the schisms in the military are worse than what most would believe, then my family's move to mexico will have to be moved up a couple years.

Republicans have decided that the George Floyd era has run its course, yet they've forgotten that public displays of disrespect to the disenfranchised communities led to such outcry that these DEI positions were deemed necessary by almost every company in existence in order to survive.

Things have changed a lot since the last time a black person ran for president (same goes for women and #metoo), and the escalation of rhetoric will only push many potential voters away.

I told my Ohio cousin that they have their very own Ted Cruz. Both desperately want to have power and attention. Both are smart. Both think they're the smartest person in the room, so he's got it all figured out. Both know they're spewing bullshit. Both know they won't even have to attempt to follow through with half the bullshit.

But most of all, both never figured out that people won't buy your bullshit if they don't like you.

She is grateful and he is racist - more specifically fascist playing on rascist based fears with lies about brown people - but not because of Mountain Dew. 
 

that said, he’s tame today compared to his supporters.
