Im not sure how accurate that article and map were. I dont know the trends across the country but I am in Wisconsin and there is no way it is strongly democratic as the map states. Its purple at best. I live in a red Milwaukee suburb and his support here hasnt wavered, nor has it anywhere near me. Milwaukee is the majority of the blue votes statewide and Ive seen no change whatsoever since 2016. Ive just seen both sides retreating more heavily to their corners. We do have a Dem governor now, but every other position in state Govt is red majority.

Your posts always, always give me hope. You've consistently been predicting his downfall. I feel it too, but I'm still so unnerved by the thought of another term. Yikes!
I don't believe he will be the candidate either and haven't for awhile.. Which means the dems need to be careful about only talking about him. Dangerous. They can't make it all about Trump the person.
Hello all. I took a little break to recharge my batteries. Still at about 75% but getting better. I'm trying not to overload on the "who killed Epstein" furvor. Anyway, has anyone heard, read or seen the ads run by "rule of Law Republicans"? I heard about it on one of the youtube readers I follow and breifly looked them up. They are a group of high placed Republicans, I take it most are attorneys, who are opposing Moron due to his blatent disregard of the rule of law. They all seem to be fairly wealthy and they are considering running a candidate to oppose MOron in th primaries. That is if BillyBarr hasn't declared that unlawful! They are running TV ads in different areas of the country. One is supposed to be here in KY but I don't watch much TV so I haven't seen it. I have wondered how long the "true" republicans will put up with this administration and their facist tactics. I truly believe there are repubs out there with a conscience. I often think of my godfather who was a Repub but was also a very kind and moral man. He was a religious man in his beliefs who showed this through actions not bluster. After retiring from his family business he went to work for a non-profit devision of a childrens hospital. Although he passed a few years back, I know there are others like him out there. Hopefully they will find their voice again.
I just have to keep reminding myself that this whole administration is smoke an mirrors lead by a reality TV "star" and his group of radical misfits. THey know nothing about the law, admisitration or the government. I always laugh at those who say "we need to run our country like a business" this is totally opposed with the foundation of our government. We are not supposed to be "for profit' but "for the people". I rememeber that when I listen to Bernie or Elizabeth. Even if they are not the candidate in the end, they continue to draw attention to the real meaning of "for the people".
One other note, kind of funny, yesterday the MOron was at a Shell plant, I forgot where. Anyway I saw a photo of him (I can't listen to his voice it makesme sick") the faces of the workers behind him said it all! Most of them looked like "what the heck"! He evidently rambled on and on without knowing what the heck he was supposed to be saying. He went on his wind energy tangent again, showing how little he knows about anything. Anyway turns out the poor workers had to stand there for over three hours listening to this and were not allowed to leave until after the MOron and his motorcade were gone. There was almost a riot due to the workers were at the end of shift and wanted to leave! Promises had to be made to keep them quite. Now that some of the banks are releasing his financial records to Congress and the state of New York let's hope the end is near.
@penelopefp, Thanks for the Lakoff recommendation. I've attached his 2016 article concerning strict father families. The Dems should have hired him as a consultant back then -- and they ought to do it now!
