Their polling calls a China Joe landslide. Why the desperation?
Sarah Hoyt at Instapundit: “We can hand the left a decisive defeat and force them to spend time in the desert and reorganize away from communist fantasies. Or we can force our kids to fight their way out of communism, barefoot and starving, by candle light.”

I voted for Trump in secret in 2016. Back in August, I was so disgusted with things in Michigan, I put a Trump sign in my yard, along with my GOP rep, who is not the most popular person. She has actually been a very good, very pro-market rep, so its a shame she isn’t seen as more likable.
.
My neighborhood has lots of Biden signs.
.
I have not come out as a Trump supported at my sports club or with one of my friends–who likes Harris, but thinks Trump is better at everything else (except he will lead us into World War III). She is not entirely sure what to do, but her parents are Democrats and she does not want to be disloyal. Much of her family is voting Trump.
.
Honestly, I feel like a coward.
I also don’t want to be a coward. By phone my brother in law said he can’t believe I’m for Trump he was horrified and wanted to stop conversation immediately. Any attempt at defending my choice turned into me being perceived as aggressive. Very short unprofitable conversation.
Lots and lots of Trump signs here in Massachusetts. Very very few Biden signs. Hmmmm.
This election will likely turn on how well the Democrats are able to (once again) lie to black Americans. Namely how many black Americans end up still believing the “fine people” hoax.

You were likely dissing his religion in his eyes.
The obvious solution to the problem they’ve created is to abolish the secret ballot. They’ve already worked on that with donations.
My one sister is strongly for Biden/Harris, thinks Gavin Newsome is doing great for California. The other sister is a never-Trumper, but might vote for him anyway to keep from getting Harris. My brother rather suprised me by outing himself as a Trump supporter.
.
One son will either vote Jorgenson (sp?) or Biden (cuz of his woke fiance–who wants socialized medicine, cuz it totally works in Britain…). I’m not sure about the other son. He registered to vote, which shocked me. I am guessing he will vote Biden, because he is surrounded by woke people at college and has a trans-friend, but he might be a secret Trump voter.

By historical standards of what we fondly remember as ” Normal,” Trump should be cruising to a 49 state landslide. Sadly normal died quite some time ago.
2020 is just the carrion disposing of the corpse.
Win or lose I just want Donald Trump to carry MN.
The only downside would be the Twin Cities literally burning themselves down in rage. But they’ve been burning for months anyways.
I suspect if the Metro promised to burn itself to the ground if Trump won, the rest of the state would see to it that he did.

I doubt that. I’d wager more sticking into a stiletto into his ego; people get very invested in what they’ve been saying for months or years. And, of course, gliberal and leftoid discourse has degenerated into a set of poses which differentiate in-groups and out groups in certain subcultures. I sometimes think that what differentiates the political parties is that one is composed of common-and-garden adults while in the other the over-all disposition is set by peculiar people whose mentality is characteristic of high school students. That many of these same people are occupying most professional-managerial jobs nowadays is … disconcerting.
Art, I believe you make an excellent point about the high school student mentality. Could this be the result of the devaluation of the college education to the point of being not much better than what a good high school taught 30 or 40 years ago?

Don’t believe so, no.
