The Republican Freak Show

Like the man who leads it, the GOP is not just incidentally grotesque. It is grotesque at its core.

“But thrill! You need to respect those cheering this in this video. They aren’t disgusting pigs. They’re just innocent lil Americans who are economically anxious and just don’t know what type of person they’re supporting. Let’s coddle them and seek to understand them and don’t you ever dare judge them ill or hold them to any standard!”

Well sure, I guess that's me, but I'm not very quiet about it. I'm pro open boarders, within reason. The reason being that I think they should be open enough to meet the demand and allow people to come here and be admitted legally within a very short period of time. I support screening and all that, but I absolutely HATE our current system because it is far far too restrictive for what I think is morally right. We are citizens of a great nation, not the owners of it. The nation of the United States exists beyond any individual and certainly isn't, in my humble opinion, reserved only for those who were fortunate enough to be born within its boarders. The United States belongs to humanity and should serve the interests of humanity. That's my take anyway.

Great post. I love your sentiment that we don't own the USA, we are merely temporary citizens of it. We should control our borders but the spirit of the USA is that we welcome everyone regardless of where they come from or what color they may be.

What the **** is wrong with the people of our country? Nearly half of us still like this guy which means we are almost assuredly doomed.

What percentage of the population are eligible to vote? Of those, what percentage actually do vote? Of THOSE, what percentage vote for Trump?

Certainly far less than 50% total.

If you take the best estimate of US population at being around 340 million, Tump got less that 25 percent of the vote (74 million), now that's not including kids and people (African American people) who are disqualified from voting. Still only 155 million out of 340 million voted, however the US only has around 165 million registered voters. That's ****ing nuts less than have the country is enfranchised, its like something of of Victorian Britain.

I’ve always liked the attitude that America is a work in progress, not a finished product.

To be more precise, according to the 2020 census there are 258 million adults in the US. Around 8% are felons, so take away another 19 million, and that leaves 239 million possible voters. Round down to maybe 235 million to account for people incapable of voting really, incapacitated or otherwise handicapped. So only 155 million of 235 million voted. That's actually a higher percentage than I expected, at 66%. Still 80 million didn't vote. Hard to say what percentage of those would have been "throw-away" votes, like any Democrats in Utah, due to the electoral college. Not sure what the likelihood was of enough of those 80 million being in a state where that would have swayed the election. Although this is a more clear picture of the willing self-disenfranchised.

Kamala Harris Taunts “Loser” Trump Again Over Second Debate Dodge; New Ad Part Of Big Sports Push By VP Campaign

In a big push before Election Day, the Vice President is making a play for Americans in two of their favorite places - on the couch & at the big game
deadline.com deadline.com

“As well as running the ad nationally Saturday in Week 6 of the well watched 2024 college football season, the increasingly punchy Harris-Walz campaign plan to have a “Trump’s Punting on 2nd Debate” displaying plane fly over Bryant-Denny stadium during the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide game. Trump himself is expected to be among the over 100,000 attendees at the gridiron match-up”.

Wow! This is good. I’d love to see Mitt Romney and George W Bush do the same soon. It would really be something to see the former GOP Pres candidate and the last GOP president endorse Trump’s political opponent, Vice President Harris.

While I don't agree with what @The Thriller is saying, this is a good post. There are no personal attacks and no group disparagements.
