Yeah, but it doesn't come down to that, does it? It's an inane straw man, unless you have some data that says the majority of those voting for Harris or Trump say "it's because Taylor/Elon told me to." But, sure, another reed to beat stupid Americans with, why not?

The only reason I'm not responding is I don't want to jinx anything. My wife has warned me about 1,000 times since I predicted Clinton would win in 2016. She claims my hex got Trump elected.

2:00 AM where mate? The man is up posting at all hours of the night! Also it's not declarative; he could say "I am winning by a lot" and never say "I won" -- does that count? He's already saying it anyhow.

Yes, Frank the Yank and I were discussing this earlier. 4 of his last 10 events were/are there. Huge influx of folks from outside the state -- retirees, research & development, huge colleges, very diverse ethnically and job base-wise . . . NC has changed a ton in the last ten years. Hence the...

No, should I get to know her? :)

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly has so many good ones . . . "If you have to shoot, shoot -- don't talk." "God's not on our side because he hates idiots also." "You see, there's two kinds of people in this world, my friend: those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig."

Nikki Haley. Edit: sorry, I see Seb got to this. Also we have to be careful with this as it's a moment in time; i.e. Ben Carson was a cabinet member and he has endorsed Trump.

I don't think so, but it doesn't seem realistic if the sentence is anything other than probation.

I suppose but let's not be silly -- he's not a viable candidate wearing an orange jumpsuit. I think while we joke a bit about him pleading insanity or impaired functionality this is what will happen in some way -- certainly he'll make a show of it ala Harvey Weinstein. Also, as others (and I)...

Naivete and/or thirst for power and/or a desire to do "good" or to moderate Trump somehow, like marrying someone and thinking you're gonna "change" them. It really is incredible.

Someone asked me before on one of these threads what happens to the GOP if Trump loses. And I don't really have a clue. Could it splinter into MAGA and non-MAGA factions? That seems like the logical thing but both elements would know doing that is political suicide. Since MAGA is a personality...

I get it and I like GOK more but CD is so iconic that I'm okay if it goes on.

How the fuck am I funny?

I think the handle gives it away.

Isn’t California great? Voted BBs but just as happy either way.

Let me add my two cents and say that said sign should simply read “I’m a complete dumbfuck” and the message conveyed would be precisely the same.

I don't think we aren't agreeing. I'm just simplifying it because even with the values differential you describe, that doesn't get you all the way to why there'd be a mass cult movement towards Trump or other demagogues like him. It helps explain Reagan, though -- and there is an element of...

The surge in social media and the stark and detailed awareness the those with access to it have of the "success" of others is a common theme, as is the resentment bred, as is the desire to turn to demagogues to solve these inequalities. In America is manifests as "own the libs"; in other...

Oh you. Listen, we could do worse than KH. We could do better too but all in it would be a big deal to have a woman as Pres — we never have before. It would be nice to have a President we can ignore most of the time except when we need leadership every so often. Would that be so bad? Peace...

Wow that has to be one of the thread’s big upsets. SBM a classic but I thought the Dan might have a shot at the final.
