Trump just passed illegally a payroll tax cut. He is pretending to be a hero for the working class. The stupid people don't know this is an end run at cutting social security and Medicare.

What pays for social security? The payroll taxes. What pays for Medicare? The payroll taxes. He even said if reelected he would make the cuts permanent. Wake up Trumpers. He's fucking with your futures.

How inequality is changing the Republican Party — and breaking American politics

Historically, conservative political parties face the problem Harvard political scientist Daniel Ziblatt calls “the conservative dilemma.” How does a party that represents the interests of moneyed elites win elections in a democracy?

How?

By democrats 'forgetting' to represent the working class - as I indicated in my Matt Taibbi post. By democrats stopping being a real economic alternative for Americans, while republicans became a real social-issues one.

That's how.

And if democrats don't do any different, how are they any better?

What wasn't really evident until the Obama honeymoon was over was how deeply democrats had abandoned the working class. (Which I was harping on back before 2016.)

But what pushed Trump over a full slate of republican candidate hopefuls and past Hillary was that he was willing to address things both democrats AND republicans were too beholden to mention:

Manufacturing. Low-wage illegal immigrants. China. NAFTA~CAFTA~SHAFTA. NATO. big Pharma. Military contracting.



Trump won the political culture war AND the political economic one AND the political policy one.

And if democrats don't do any different, how are they any better?

Here is a cultural divide for you: While 81 percent of Democrats said they’d get vaccinated if a free, FDA-approved Covid-19 vaccine were available, only 47 percent of Republicans said the same. Independents are in the middle with 59 percent saying they would accept the vaccine.

You can find the same divide with displaying Confederate flags, statues to General Lee, BLM, abortion, evolution, climate change, etc.

What does that have to do with why DEMOCRATS have lost support in counties, states, and Congress over the decades?

What your data shows is that some Republicans have decided to call themselves "Independents", but I suspect the newest "Independents" keep voting for Republicans.

Uh ... you DO know that nobody here is blind and we can all see the same graph - right? And that no matter how much you blatantly lie about what we all can see, it doesn't actually change what we all can see - right?

So, let me just state the obvious.

Between Kennedy and Obama, republican party affiliation wandered between 21-32%, hitting a low at Ford and Carter, and a high at Reagan through Bush the Deux, but staying within a narrow range of 25 +/-5.

But democrats dropped from a high at Kennedy of 51 to a low at Reagan of 34, then dropping further to 31 during Bush the Elder, from which they never recovered by 2014.

So what does your post have to do with the fact that DEMOCRATS have lost 40% of their support in counties, states, and Congress over the decades?

Of course! That was the point!

female- check!
black- check!
deep state compliant- check!

It was either her or Susan Rice, but Susan Rice might get tangled up in Russiagate, seeing as she was at that meeting with Obama, Biden, Comey and others talking about how to "get" Trump (as far as anyone can tell).

Blacks are racist. They'll vote for a black person, no matter how much that person might be against their interests. Remember Clarence Thomas? Not that blacks could vote for Justice Thomas, but in the opinion polls at the time they supported his confirmation despite the fact that he was against affirmative action and that he was a sexual harasser.

One thing I heard discussed was that with mail-in voting, many people will be able to vote before the debates, making Biden's debate performance irrelevant.

Nah...

A majority of the people who are too lazy (or don't care enough) to go to the booth to vote are going to be too lazy (or not care enough) to ever get around to filling one of them out.

Of those that do, nobody is going to be doing it the day, week or month they get it mailed to them, and it will sit under a pile of junk mail. The debates might be one of the things that remind them that they even got it.



The only people who are going to be rushing to mail out their ballots early are people who are already 1000% in support of Not-Trump. They weren't going to be swayed to vote the other way no matter how bad the debates go for Biden or even be so demoralized that they wouldn't have done so.


I don't imagine the mail in ballot is going to have the effect the Democrats are hoping it will. All it's going to do is add to the confusion and we might not know for a long time who actually won unless Trump wins by a landslide like I predicted long ago and still predict today.

The last debates I watched were Nixon vs JFK, but I'll be cheering for Trump because I've got a lot of money depending on Trump winning. On the other hand, I'm not gonna vote for him because he is a fat dumb motherfucker who poor white trash find appealing.

Or maybe that 20% of ex-democrats are not voting for democrats - which is a problem for democrats, and why they lost state legislatures and governorships, as well as the US Senate and the House (only recently retaken).
