We have to mobilize our side of course. I am thinking there maybe another factor at play in our favor. Many trumpers upset at Fox news and having lost the election may stay home on january 5th. Also, Purdue and Loeffler benefited from down ballot votes on the 3rd. I am wondering how many of these trumpers will go the extra mile to vote for these two when on their own.

(9,727 posts)tries very hard to be seen as "a small southern state." I have never understood this yearning to be East Mississippi. Georgia is now the 8th most populous state. It should act the part, but probably never will. With a population of almost 11 million people, I'm sure there are still plenty of unregistered voters left to motivate. I just wish I could believe they'd all be Democrats!

They WILL show up, and the Reich-wings pretty hate-and-rage-machine will go into overdrive to make sure they do.
The real question is: Will the Democrats?

(7,627 posts)they dont think in terms of policy or anything of the sort. They vote for Trump.
If he does not personally egg them on to go vote some of them might stay home. We saw that in 2018 when some rwingers tried to capture the Trump vote but they got solidly defeated. Trump is not the GOP for a significant part of their base.

This is way more of an uphill battle than the presidency. However, this time we have the wind at our backs. It is worth going for!
