old white people and non college educated white women might save us from another Trump term.

I don't live in Iowa but mn and I told you guys half the farmers are flying Harris/walz signs

you still see a lot of trump **** but it isn't like before. I only know 3 trumped out guys in real life and I'm in a very conservative area and industry for work and tbh half my hobbies and friends I know from them.

I'm in KY (the northern part right across the river from Cincinnati), and there's one house up the road from me that had his entire privacy fence covered in Trump flags with a big sign that said "smile, you're on camera" daring people to take/deface them. They came down sometime around the time of the indictments, and never went back up. Part of me is taking this as a good sign, but who knows. It's hard to get too optimistic.

EDIT (for clarification): Dude had those flags up for all of the OG 2016 term, then added FJB flags after 2020.

I’ve been doing my part too. I have some friends on Twitch that don’t follow or know anything about politics and live in swingstate redneck territory.
None had ever voted and had no interest in the election so I paid them $50 to vote Harris

One of the things I am ready for along with the election being over is riding with CNN and watching John King work the touch screen. Seeing him do it in 2020 so effortlessly was amazing. And constantly asking for forgiveness when turning his back. A true professional.

I Saw John King Walking Around The Washington Monument Tonight. Wife And I Legit Had The Leo Reaction.

Somtimes I wonder how some of my country’s laws would poll in the US.
Specifically our euthanasia law that also covers mental disorders instead of just physical horrific diseases.

Some time ago a 28 year old with diagnosed chronic depression, autism, social anxiety and some other personality disorder requested and got approved for euthanasia. Probably worth noting she has had permanent suicidal ideation since she was a little kid. Then chronic self-harm started a couple years later when she was 11.

I was surprised to see that get approved by the team of psychiatrists tbh, but at the end of the day I don’t really care. If someone’s mental suffering is so terrible, it’s better to get euthanasia than trying to commit suicide.
At least with euthanasia the people around you have months of time to process and prepare for it instead of randomly finding their body.

I bet US evangelicals would get stunlocked upon hearing this call us the spawn of satan

 

[mplsdunk]

you can do it here in some states I think

yeah they would tweak but who cares, according to them a guy talking to a burning bush is totally chill. I can't take their opinions serious.

A few years ago I was teaching at a catholic high school. We had a a handful of kids commit suicide, and the principal wouldn't even acknowledge it, even though they still had siblings at school. He was still of that old BS mindset that you go to hell or purgatory. He didn't even go to the funerals. Made sure at least one or two of the teachers were going, so he didn't have to other. Still pisses me off when I think about it.

All that to say, yes super religious folk would absolutely lose their minds.

Real or staged

 

[dmbrhs]

Real or staged

If you have to ask...

But, yes, clearly staged. These are MAGAs staging it as "saving the votes". Nobody conveniently films themselves coming across this and then delivering them to a site. Hell, they didn't even show that it was a real ballot drop off site. It was some random building.

I see way more Democrat signs than in 2016 or 2020, but they were basically non existent. Granted, I live in the white trashiest part of the state, but I'm skeptical Harris is going to win. I'll do everything I can with my six votes.
