Everything else afterward has been one brunch liberal bumblefucking after another.

Red MAGA vs Blue MAGA, yeah yeah I know, but I’d still like to see my-hero eat shit as a silver lining and she isn’t helping her own chances. i-voted

    This is why, gun to my head, I still think she’ll probably win. Americans are tired of Trump and Biden and really didn’t want another matchup between them, and only democrats mustered up enough good sense to give that to them.

      I’m definitely sympathetic to the Trump is a known factor that people just don’t want to deal with again argument, which if people feel that way, it might push her over the top.

      Hell I was thinking today about another Trump presidency and was like “Oh god I don’t have it in me to go through that era again”.

        I have been hitting garage sales in the same handful of lower-upper middle class white suburbs since 2016. That’s the best hauls, best chance to get some $200 shit for a single dollar. It’s also peak trump supporter.

        • In 2016 it was 75% Trump signs, 25% Hillary
        • In 2020 it was like 60% Trump signs, 40% Biden
        • In 2024 it’s 60% HARRIS.

        I’m seeing local republican signs and no Trump. I’m seeing houses that had Trump signs before that now have “I’m a veteran, not a loser or a sucker” (lol lmao) signs. This is a critical swing state.

        For every voter they’re killing in Gaza they’re picking up 2 in the suburbs

          I was driving through a wealthy area in my city. Relatively liberal area but usually you would see some signs for the republican.

          Yesterday, not a single trump sign. Every single house had the same two signs, Harris/Walz, and the mayoral opposition “independent” candidate who is literally just a reaction to the liberal mayor…allowing a bit to much high density construction and adding like two bike lanes. Basically just a NIMBY candidate who is Republican in all but name

        • Rural mountain area here and it’s like 98% Trump signs. There’s one house that has a Kamala sign (which notably says JoeBiden.com at the bottom), one had several RFK signs until last week, everything else is Trump. There’s a barn with Trump banners and signs on every inch. Big signs, small signs. Firefighters for Trump, farmers for Trump, veterans for Trump.

        On the flipside, there’s probably plenty of people who are nostalgic about the 2017-2019 era, after how awful 2020+ has been.

        So I could see that working for him.

        • Hello I am one of those people

          Trump was awful, but Biden continued all of the awful things of Trump and made things materially worse, while also making me feel much less sane

          At least with Trump in office everyone around me agrees with me that shit’s fucked

          It was also easier to mobilize people under Trump than it has been under Biden. If we’re going to live in hell I’d at least the libs not be at fucking brunch.

      trump-anguish is the extinction burst of all things reactionary boomer.

      biden-fall was the extinction burst of all things old political machine Democrats.

      jokermala is a pretty standard issue brunch liberal. Not great for her chances, but she’s facing decaying lead-brained shit.

        She’s not though, she’s a George W Bush style neocon. Every single statement she makes is “I am going to be worse than Trump or Biden, mark my words.” “We’re stopping illegal immigration and going to war with Iran” is not standard brunch liberal.

          “We’re stopping illegal immigration and going to war with Iran” is not standard brunch liberal.

          I’ve been to actual literal brunch with actual literal brunch liberals in the past and that actually sounds like something they’d have said.

          One time, at one such actual brunch, “if the Middle East was glassed tomorrow, world peace would kick in only a year later and global IQs would go up significantly; just saying” was said. libbing-out hitler-detector
