dgrochester55 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 (edited) Seven years later from the original post, and democrat politics have gotten worse. Typical online arguing with Dems in 2025. Normal poster: I prefer tart tasting apples to sweeter tasting ones Karen Dunning-Kruger: I don’t like tart apples, what are you an idiot? Normal poster: No, I just prefer the taste Karen Dunning-Kruger: But it says here that more people prefer oranges, what the hell is your problem? Normal Poster: I thought we were talking about apples Karen Dunning-Kruger: Don’t change the subject, oranges with thicker rinds are sweeter! Normal Poster: What does that have to do with this? Karen Dunning-Kruger: Are you a botanist? How dare you question scientific research! Normal Poster: I don’t see what this has to do with apples Karen Dunning-Kruger: Stop gaslighting me!

B-Man Posted June 3 Posted June 3 "Probably the most alarming single state in the country for Democrats is looking at the Republican gains all along the border in south Texas." "And the county that jumps out to me, there is Starr County. Starr County is the county that has moved the most in the entire country from 2012 to 2024. Hmm. This is a county that Barack Obama won overwhelmingly in 2012, and that Donald Trump won comfortably in 2024..... It's moved continuously in the Republican direction, and the sum of that movement is 89 percentage points. And what's interesting is Starr County isn't just this county that has moved the most, it also is the most predominantly Latino county in America. And it's not just shifting away from the Democratic party, it's stampeding away from the Democratic party. And while Starr County is this one small county in the Texas border, what you see is that same type of movement in counties with broad Latino populations, whether you're talking about the Bronx in New York City, Queens, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, places with diverse populations have moved steadily to the right, even in a lot of them, where Democrats are still winning, they're winning by less and by a lot less. I mean, to use like a fancy political science term, we're talking about racial depolarization.... For, for a long time, one of the most important markers of how a person was going to vote in America was what race are you?" From today's episode of the NYT "Daily" podcast.

B-Man Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Republicans Are Crushing Democrats on Cash and Party Registration David Catron Despite their relentlessly negative coverage of President Trump and the Republicans, the corporate “news” media has largely failed to damage either. Not only does Trump enjoy a higher job approval rating among voters than did former President Obama at this point in his second term, but congressional Republicans are also viewed more favorably than their Democrat counterparts according to numerous polls. Naysayers might retort that Republicans have spent years doubting the accuracy of polls. True enough. But for those who prefer more tangible evidence of the GOP’s ascendancy than public opinion surveys, the Republican Party is also clearly outperforming the Democratic Party in cash contributions and voter registrations – two other key metrics of party strength. Money talks, to coin a phrase, so we will begin with the story of the latest Federal Election Commission (FEC) disclosures for each of the two parties. The Republican National Committee (RNC) had $72 million in reserves, according to an FEC report released on June 21, 2025. The Democratic National Committee (DNC), on the other hand, had a mere $15 million in cash reserves according to an FEC report released on the same day. The RNC, having nearly five times as much cash on hand as the DNC, is a story in its own right. But according to The New York Times, it’s not just that the DNC is lagging the RNC – the party is now so broke that it may well need to borrow money to stay afloat: https://amac.us/newsline/elections/republicans-are-crushing-democrats-on-cash-and-party-registration/ https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/us/politics/dnc-ken-martin.html 1

BillsFanNC Posted August 10 Posted August 10 Oh man… not sure how to write this. Here it goes. January of this year, I did something I hadn’t done… ever. I gave Trump credit for doing something good. I gave him credit for keeping his promises to us in Western North Carolina. I could never have imagined the volume of hate and anger I received from doing something that was obviously the right thing to do. Just giving credit where credit was due. Saying thank you. Since that moment, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned that some of my liberal friends were never friends. They torched our friendship almost immediately… just for thanking Trump. I learned that many liberals seem to preach tolerance, but aren’t tolerant of conservative ideas AT ALL, it’s just an act to pretend to be moral. I learned that the greatest organizations in the world are churches… something that was genuinely UNTHINKABLE for me a year ago. I learned that the media just… lie. They lie constantly and without fear of being caught. I learned this lying comes from a bizarre sense of righteous morality that the lie, in the end, will achieve some good. I learned they cannot be trusted. I learned that I offloaded my own critical thinking to these organizations, and that many of the news “stories” I believed were true… never were. I learned what it means to be swatted. I learned what it’s like to have some crazed leftists send armed police to my home, with my kids in their beds, at 2AM claiming I had been shot and to break down the door. I learned that the only thing in the world that can change a persons mind is kindness is action… because that’s what changed mine. I learned that kindness is telling the truth, not protecting someone’s feelings. I learned that telling the truth is the most dangerous thing you can do, and that’s why free speech matters so much. I learned that free speech is never truly free… they will come after your entire life and try to destroy everything in it. …but it’s worth it It’s all been worth it. 1
B-Man Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Here’s Why Asian Americans Shifted Right by Neetu Arnold The 2024 election season featured an unprecedented number of Asian Americans, from Vivek Ramaswamy’s rise in the Republican primary to soon-to-be second lady Usha Vance, to the Democratic candidate herself, Kamala Harris. Just a few years ago, this would have been a cause for celebration on the political left: Asian Americans have reliably voted for Democrats for decades. But the election results revealed that racial and ethnic minorities are not as loyal to the Democratic Party as previously believed. Much like Hispanics, Asian American voters made a major shift to the right. Nationally, 2020 and 2024 exit polls from the Washington Post show a 9-point shift- to the Republicans in the presidential race among Asian American voters relative to 2020. In some states, such as Nevada and Texas, the polls suggest that Trump won the Asian American vote outright. The NBC News exit poll found a 5-point shift to the right nationally among Asian Americans relative to 2020. And in their survey of Asian American voters prior to the election, Asian Americans Advancing Justice saw a 7-point shift away from the Democrats relative to 2020. https://amgreatness.com/2024/11/21/heress-why-asian-americans-shifted-right/ 1
B-Man Posted September 3 Posted September 3 The Young Latino Swing to Trump Is Real by Beege Welborn For all the bellyaching, posturing, proselytizing, and threats of violence both implied and precise, the immigration enforcement operations that Trump's Department of Homeland Security has been running across the country don't seem to be having an impact on at least one surprising segment of the voting population - young, Latino voters, especially males. Even before Trump was officially sworn in and Tom Homan's leash came off, there were signs that an inexplicable rightward shift was happening. For example, as much as it had to hurt them, NBC's national exit polls on Election Day had big red warning flags among the typically loyal Democratic demographic for nervous Harris supporters. https://hotair.com/tree-hugging-sister/2025/09/02/the-young-latino-swing-to-trump-is-real-n3806406
