    They treat voting for Trump the same way they would ordering a Fuckhammer 4000 mechanized dildonics machine off Amazon (not a real product). They're a freak, but they don't want anyone to know they're a freak.

    Except the sex freak is only using that Fuckhammer on themselves. Trump supporters are voting to deliberately get other people hurt. I've got way less issue with the lady who just wants to get her freak on.
    Yeah it's definitely weird.

    I don't about going too deep down that vortex to analyze how they reconcile being afraid of social shaming while still voting for the guy. But it's definitely something that happens.

    Other thing people do is suddenly vote the opposite of what theyve been preaching for months when they are alone in the voting booth.

    Again I'm commenting more on observed voter behavior than the outcome of any election.

    I live in Omaha right now. A few weeks ago a bunch of trucks with trump flags were driving around blowing stop lights in a mini parade. Of course the cops here had some half assed response to it.

    Trump is trying to turn Nebraska blue?



    Please, go on



    The rallies are just for super fans, and for Trump.

    ...Nebraska, that hasn't fully voted Democrat for President since the late 60's? Nebraska that, since then, has only given 1 EC vote away to a Dem candidate (Obama in 2008, I think)? That Nebraska?

    So either his campaign manager is trolling him or he's just CRAVING attention from a group of people that will accept him.

    This map isn't likely, so don't take it as a prediction, but it actually is possible for a Nebraska split to be the tipping point:



    I'd bet a lot of money that won't happen, but it would be legitimately hilarious if it did.

    Their thought is they can flip PA and hold GA, NC, FL, and winning ME 2...
    That would give us 269 to 269. The scariest fucking map ever.

    Also, this sounds like it was just scheduled. Does Trump even have a schedule

    You mean hold PA? Trump won it in 2016.

    I'm talking more on the phenomenon of the silent conservative and not election results. You have to spell stuff out around here.
    But do you live in red or blue country? See, I live in red country and I need to walk on egg shells in order to talk politics because the fucking Trumpsters can never shut their fucking mouths. So you can bet your ass I don't talk about it publicly either because people are assholes.

    It’s as if talking about politics at work or public in general, is frowned upon.

    Trump got a inside straight in 2016. If he get's that straight flush map, he's the luckiest SOB ever lived.

    It's extremely hard for Dotardito to have MI and WI.

    I'm 95% sure that they will go to Biden ATM.

    Just add another normal thing being blown out of proportion, because it involves Trump. We forget what normal even looks like...

    It's become so toxic that the Politics subforum has been semi-quarantined. Or am I the only one who's noticed that topics here do not show up on the Home page and haven't for the past couple years?

    Looked up exact stats. My county is 45% Republican (30% Dem 25% NPA).

    You see Trump flags and Biden stickers regularly. Trump has been here a few times as well, never having a issue drawing a crowd.

    Just crossed my mind, saw someone riding around with a Confederate, American, and Trump flag on their truck just yesterday.

    Maybe check your forum filters on the "latest forum posts" box? They show up for me.

    Did they reject his nomination without consideration or did they just not call him up? See, if there's no time limit on the nomination process, as long as they don't reject him and end the process, who tells them exactly when they have to call him up for consideration? Is that in the constitution?
