Aw, they're so sweet in that video, PP.
But don't fool yourself. There are a lot of MAGA voters in Georgia. It's the same in Arizona, whose GOP has been torn apart by Trump. On the one hand you have the die hard MAGAs, who will vote for Trump over Harris come hell or high water, and on the other you have the McCain Republicans, who hate Trump for what he did to the party and what he said about McCain. Interestingly, Kari Lake, the election-denier running for US Senate, has lost the support of many Republicans of both persuasions: the McCain ones hate her for her insults towards their camp, and the MAGA are misogynist garbage who won't vote for a woman. |
No, there still are a bunch of dumb old mfers out there who will vote for DJT. Presumably not as many as before but there are definitely still some out there. |
But the difference is that in 2020, non-MAGA Republicans or even Republicans who did not want to vote for Trump, were afraid to admit it in public because of MAGA violence against those who did not support Trump. Now, it is becoming more acceptable to show that you don't support Trump and they aren't afraid to admit it in public anymore. MAGA is losing their grip. Since Georgia did not vote for Trump in 2020 and, in fact, elected Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to the Senate, I'd say that Georgia is purple and this shows that even in the rural areas, Trump no longer dominates. I'd guess that Georgia is likely to side for Harris like they sided with Biden. |
Unfortunately, I'm related to them. |
You're right that some Republicans feel safer expressing out loud their distaste of Trump. Because he's become progressively more unhinged. He was indicted then charged with felonies, and every step of the way, he showed brazen disrespect for law. It showed that his Jan 6th insurrection attempt wasn't just a one-off. Most people, especially older ones (who vote in large numbers), have a healthy respect for the rule of law. After a disastrous debate performance against Harris, his dementia has been progressing by the day, with totally unfiltered Nazi remarks on migrants and their bad genes and genetic criminality. He wants to deport all migrants: Vance has said that the ones who came under certain authorized programs, like the Haitians in Ohio, are actually here illegally because the programs themselves were not legal. And again, that flies in the face of the respect that many people have for the laws of this country. You don't get to make up your own laws and deport the people who are a little too brown. This is why his team is canceling some interviews with the media, and why he couldn't accept a second debate. He can't keep it together. There needs to be a concerted effort on the left to keep his decline front and center: word confusions (he couldn't pronounce simple words yesterday no matter how hard he tried), memory lapses (he couldn't remember what he had been talking about 5 minutes before despite prompting from the moderator), weird on-air decisions (stop a Q&A session 4 questions in and just bob his head to music for 30 min)... |
+1 there are still plenty who blindly accept whatever horsesh*t he shovels out to them. Or the polls wouldn't be so close. Either side can cherry pick. Both sides do. |
Harris only needs to shave on a small percentage. |
Agree with all of this. Would also add that the ANC debacle and the Medal of Honor sacrilege will not be forgotten by many republican voters. Many of them served and believe in the honor of our military. |
For sure. But people don’t like to be taken for fools by a swindler. The gloss has worn off Trump and he’s gone from entertaining to whiny and now crazed. |
Over 300,000 Georgians voted today. Wondering who got their vote? |
Three weeks from today...will we even know? Or will we have election week...or election month?
Will it be like 2000 again? |
Hello from Georgia. Your analysis is wrong on two counts. One, it has become more acceptable to support Trump, not less, due to the events of the past 3 years. Two, there are far, far more Trump signs here. |
