  • Great sound bites from Trumpers onstage in NYC.
    Puerto Rico is garbage for one.
    His whole platform is hate and vengeance, and his supporters are scum.

    ...and Pennsylvania has a massive PR population. It would be hilarious if this race rally cost Trump one of the most-prized swing states.

    Mind you, I'm clutching at any straw because I'm getting the fear about this election. Midsummer, I honestly thought that once the Dems had put in a non-senile head, and Trump kept being Trump, only angrier at being beaten by a Black woman, voters would incrementally start edging away from the howling extremists. Honestly expected she'd win by 5-6%, so clearly even the fixed election nonsense claims wouldn't get any purchase. Not seeing that now.

    My main takeaway from the 2008 Democratic primaries and the subsequent 2016 election (though it was manipulated) was that people may well be more misogynist than racist. It kind of makes sense—while hatred of other groups has obviously always existed, and racism has been a dominant blight of the last couple of hundred years, even it seems not to be as deeply-ingrained as misogyny. I'm not paying any attention to polls, as que sera, sera, but this election will certainly be a real test of the next iteration of Internet-based propaganda.
