People like to say that both parties have gone to the extreme, but one party has most certainly fallen further off the cliff.

I like to call my transformation maturity. Nobody is really born a democrat or even a republican for that matter.

Where I'm from you learn to be a democrat. When you begin to become the least bit aware, or at least back then, you ask the older generation who are y'all voting for. They tell you and it's generally framed around they care the most, racism, it's just who you vote for. So you go through your impressionable years building the case why you vote democrat.

By 18 y/o, you are a democrat voter by default. You've been shaped around that idea if you have a good reason to be or not. That is what you're fighting against with certain cultures. It's embedded like a form of mental slavery. They don't even need a fence up and they won't leave the plantation. They just offer more pork leftovers to turn them around.

All of the sudden we hear talk of a possible recession as the economy seems to be faltering.

Can Kamala calm the waters?

Very interesting.
Here in East Tennessee it's the exact same story, but one grows up "learning" to be a republican rather than a democrat.
I voted straight down the repub ballot in every election until 2016, and now consider myself independent.
Much like religion, folks should start looking at why they vote the way they do and make sure it's not just because it's what mom and dad did and told them to do.

You're right about this part. ^^^^^

My family and friends were a mixed bag, then in the mid 90's and 2000's the dems began to be taken over by progressives and socialists. Nearly every one is straight ticket republican now. The Re-"Pube"-licans sure aren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination...they are mostly puzzies too, but the current democratic party holds none of our values.

Let's face it. We all need for Trump to win this election. There is no greater threat to our democracy than installing an unpopular candidate in the 11th hour that no one voted for. The fact that we have enough stupid people that could push her over the top when she was selected by deep state elitist is a threat to us all. Democracy would never be the same. I see only @luthervol, nashvol and a few other Bolsheviks thinking this would be OK.

It's this kind of idiotic post that makes it clear that trumpism is a sickness.

Everything. Explain everything in detail. Detail. Deeeeeeetail.

Upon release from doctors after assassination attempt, set up flight to Palm Beach. After landing in Palm Beach, transport to Mar-a-lago. Play golf 3-4 days a week, even if it is just 9 holes. Meet privately with donors and advisors every couple of weeks. Play more golf. Give an occasional answer to questions from the press, but low key and no attacks.

Is that enough detail now?

Edit: Stay off facking social media

What media is that?

You guys are so eaten up with right wing propaganda it's shocking.

The PF is 95% a regurgitation of the most current right wing talking points and marching orders.....
talk about mindless sheep.

What propaganda are they eating up?

The last time I spoke with you, the worst thing you could come up with for Trump was that he said, "lock her up". Supposedly this was a horrible act. Funny enough based on her video confession, she should have been locked up for the rest of her life.

... doesn't that seem a little mindless?

The 90% of the media that is ignoring her history of progressivism, Luther. Yeah she’s pretty far left on THAT continuum.
