Have you seen the polls and how he's losing the seniors

We told you - when granny and grandpa discover that Don the criminally negligent Con and his ReTHUG goons don't care if they die, they would choose life over scum?

Heard that there is a 20 point swing in the latest polls in states that matter. Fuck you Don the Con - your last jig is up!

Maybe a lot of these folks will remain more scared of CV19 than brown people. And as many have pointed out the right to lifers might be getting a new perspective when they realize their own right to life isn’t supported by the rethugs.

them...and right now they're talking about reducing medicare and social security. That is the message that really has to get out there. We have to make sure all the down-ticket races acknowledge how bad the republicans are. Trump is just the head of their party, but the whole damned party is good with killing people.

Videos of them saying that a few old people dying is ok, and that they're reducing medicare and social security, and taking away obamacare. People need to hear about this right here in the middle of this pandemic for it to start to register and get through some very thick skulls.

I was around in 1964, but too young to vote. That is the last time that the Dems had a majority of white voters in the presidential election (LBJ). As a white Dem my whole life I find this so disgusting. Really white people? You have voted your hate since then? WTF? Let's hope Seniors have seen the light. repubs have never truly been on their side.

We have been scrambling to meet deadlines with a skeleton crew even though we cannot go to trial. It is madness trying to take depositions and interview witnesses while we cannot do onsite inspections. They should have extended deadlines in all cases and just let us shut down.

I just knew courthouses were shuttered all over the place.
Our courthouse & county offices are closed. Offices by appointment only, and one person only.
I was on a jury up to the day before it shutdown. Two days later on the docket and we might be waiting until July.

The reality of this virus is scary, and some people may finally be ready to recognize that their game of “owning the libs” just isn’t worth the cost of so many people dying, including their friends and relatives. If this virus is still going in October as Phase 2, Trump is toast.

yesterday we had 2,804 Covid-19 deaths, the most ever. An idiot would say it's time to open up.

This virus is wicked, it looks like it has several strains which will make getting a vaccine extremely difficult. It is wicked because healthy people with good immune systems can tolerate it and walk around with it spreading it to people who can't tolerate it.

Because Trump doesn't want to test to keep the numbers down the US is going to be one of the last nations to mitigate this virus.

Look at Sweden, and wait what will happen to states like Georgia and Texas that didn't do much testing. It is not going to be pretty.

By the way, for others in this thread, it looks like Trump’s margin was BARELY higher among the Gen-X’ers (my generation) than the Boomers in the 2016 election.

I don’t associate with that majority either!

https://www.cnn.com/election/2016/results/exit-polls

Edit:
I remember hearing Rush Limbaugh for the first time in the 80’s, from the portable radio of another young coworker eating lunch outside on a sunny day. He and a group of other young coworkers were seated at a picnic table, flashing expressions of joy whenever Limbaugh was ANGRY.

It was clearly an emotional connection rather than anything intellectual, because the commentary was nonsense.

I just shook my head and said nothing, assuming (wrongly) that Limbaugh and his ilk would fade away quickly.

Always in my car, when I needed to drive somewhere like a job.

Repulsion eventually overwhelmed my curiosity about what the enemy was ranting, and I haven’t listened in years.

Fact-checking him ALWAYS revealed he was lying about something that sounded bad about the Democrats.

Example:
He proclaimed years ago that Democrats were sending aid to Egypt, to help THEIR poor instead of Americans. He expressed OUTRAGE about it, of course, and he said something like (paraphrasing), “This is what they do, folks! They’re using your taxes to help other countries and not our own!”
He was honest about the name of the bill, I think, because I was able to look it up that way.
The truth: It was money funneled to the Egyptian government, supported mostly by Republicans, on the condition it was used to buy weapons from our weapons manufacturers!

Do his listeners EVER fact-check him?! If they do, do they just ignore the lies and keep begging for more?’

They are 86, and very catholic, walk the talk types. Growing up my mother said to never hate. This week she not only was saying how much she hated Trump, but that she wished he got the virus and passed away for the good of the country. I imagine that the elderly are getting a bit pissed off at his handling of something that could easily KILL THEM.
