And a really good sign.


Let's hope it stays like that

In a much larger city with a major, academic medical center (which is where I work as an RN). Many of the people here in Eastern NC relied on tobacco and other farm products - in one way or another - as their source of income. The tobacco settlement and urbanization of this area has really crushed places like RM. And of course, state and federal politicians have done jack shit to help. So, it’s easy to understand their anger and frustration. The Reichwing bastards running the state legislature are excellent at manipulating them and happy to take advantage of their constituents’ miseries. Again, while doing nothing to help.

All that said, I have no sympathy left for them. They have voted - and continue to vote for leopards eating faces, thinking it’s the rest of us who get eaten. And they refuse to face the fact that they voted to have their own faces eaten.

Screw ‘em.

finding a $5.00 MAGAt beanie under the tree!

(Sarcasm!)

one to poop in and the other to cover it up.

vote for him.

I do think his everyday voters (Republicans of more moderate stripes and "soft" MAGAs) have gone back underground after doing their damage in November 2024. They have some shame, but they won't admit it and will fall in line for Vance, Rubio, or whoever in 2028. Plenty of inisde WH intel that the 2028 talk for Trump is allllllll trolling and pot-stirring up until the last possible moment when he hands off to someone else (if he's not dead or in a drooling state by then)

When you don’t get your food stamps, your health insurance is unaffordable and there are no jobs and you have been laid off. His fantasies don’t match your reality you don’t feel like a winner you feel like a sucker.

They felt connected to trump. They believed he was a successful businessman because of the tv show. To a certain group of people he is a charismatic and that is very hard to replicate. Republicans loved Reagan but this Grateful Dead traveling cult circus is something I have never seen in politics. I hope to never see it again.

Oh please, oh please, oh please!

After he croaks, we'll still have 30-70 million of his voters to deal with.

I have a feeling the opportunist VP Vance is waiting in the wings to take over. He could be even worse.

So is Rubio. I'm sure there are others as well. I have a feeling the 2028 GOP presidential primaries are going to be a real slugfest.

Low enthusiasm impacts the upcoming vote cycle. No party wants low enthusiasm on their side heading into midterms.

where it counts most.

That’s also how you “win” campaigning on cats and dogs, Arnold Palmer’s penis size and simulated blow jobs…that and a Republican owned media that covers none of this in detail or at all.

Republicans don’t need the billionaire votes and they’re losing the economically distressed votes. Results baby results. It’s as if they question the morals of a rapist and a convicted felon.

Have no bottom, no morals and no honor.

This is NOT a change in his base or their core values. Their too busy posting laugh emojis at the ICE kidnappings. That's why Bovino is upping his presence.

Cousin Earle and n' his wife Betty Lou - gonna' be happier n' a pig in slops !!

Listening to an addled old man lie about how good everything is (when you know it isn'r) and listen to him brag on and on about acing cognitive tests? Is that how anyone wants to spend the holiday season? I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

anyone think of the Made In China MAGA America First merch?

seems disheartened. Everyone say "Awww, ........... phuck them".

...it is only about 50 miles east-northeast of Raleigh--the state capital.

So, despite all of the other things happening on a typical holiday Friday night, the small turnout seems odd.

It seems especially odd given how much Susie Wiles really needs a win this week in the Slob Father's eyes.

Was this a swing and a miss; poor planning; a gross miscalculation?

Or, is it a signal of something bigger happening to an aging one-trick pony that is not really great at that one trick anymore?

Happy holidays Susie! Happy. F'n. Holidays....

I.e., a good-sized tornado hit there in July 2023 and heavily damaged a Pfizer pharmaceutical plant there. They started up some production that September 2023 - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143134889

It's hard to imagine having a CT-centric brain.

I've always wanted to turn the CT concept towards a conspiracy theorist and just see how their brain would fare when everything they did in their daily life was turned into a crazy CT--even convincing their friends that everything they did was some nefarious scheme to deceive them.

Luckily, I do not have any in my life to try this out on....

I do love seeing the recent spate of right-wingers turning on each other with CTs.

Was there a number in the article?

Sounds like it was a few broke people that showed up. Good.

Which tells you nothing, but after all it's Raw Story....

I saw their Shit Toks and their piling on. Now they have a thieving conman running the Govt. Sucks to be them.

The venue he spoke at has a max capacity of 5,000

That looks like about 75 paid people. That saves a little money if the camera stays on a tight shot.

reality teevee host in person... the smell though...

who continually lied to them about the FEMA response to their 2024 Hurricane Helene disaster under Biden by telling them not to trust FEMA because they would confiscate their houses and then, as President, refused FEMA money to assist them in their recovery?
