Chapel Hill is filled with looney leftists.

I think it’s at the university level as a whole. The dim pundits are always quick to breakdown how dumb the ones are that aren’t college educated. It must be some self serving sense of elitism that they have that helps them cope. Obviously it’s not all but certain ones continuously double down on it.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there have been generally 3 types of Trump voters:

1. Traditional Republicans/conservatives that refuse to abandon their ideals, so they just swallow the bitter Trump pill

2. Far right and evangelical voters who are using Trump as their vehicle to pass extreme right laws and set extreme right court precedents in the name of their religious and/or far right beliefs.

3. Societal outcasts who feel a sense of belonging in the Trump social circles. It’s nothing substantive in their core beliefs that drives them, but the spectacle, the fandom, and the camaraderie.

But now, I think a significant (enough) 4th type has brought this one home for Donny and company….

4. Male Hispanic voters who would rather vote for someone that scapegoats them than a woman.

True, but unfortunately the Murdoch network offers nothing better. I generally don't watch any "news" networks. Always liked reading WSJ and The Economist. Still do as the alternative

I can watch CNN and Fox during the day when they are running their versions of straight news......I can't watch any of their evening stuff.

But I have been switching back and forth there last two nights. Just to get perspective from both the left and right mouthpieces.

MSNBC isn't watchable, just too shrill.

They cant start WW3 unless they drag us into it, which NATO does. Without us, it wouldnt last long and be a regional skirmish.

Europe started WW1 and WW2.

The logic of NATO is if Germany, France, England, Poland, Italy, etc. are all in the same Alliance, they won't start wars with each other over historical border disputes from 100 years ago that end up dragging the entire world to war.

NATO was really more about Germany than Russia initially.

Or it could be that I admit you won a fair election .... and I'm not in the mood to fight. Congrats on such a great night for Republicans.

I have my doubts that it is even his goal .... but I hope Trump can bring this country together in some form of unified perspective.

Unification can’t come until actual true and valid legal justice starts getting served to some very deserving creatures.
The right, understandably, won’t accept anything less and the left, because no one is above the law, needs to fully understand “never the hell again” with the bull 💩 shenanigans.

So as usual the mentally weak and soft progressive liberals are melting down in epic fashion. But I a genuinely curious. I have see videos of people saying they are afraid for their lives? That they may wake up and have no rights? And that we are now under a dictatorship?

Serious question. What is fueling these incredibly false and ignorant takes? I mean do these people even know what a true dictator is? And scared for their lives??? Why? This is why so many people make fun of liberals. When Biden won, the Trump supporters got pissed and went to work. Kamala loses and her cult members take to social media and cry like little ignorant spoiled children.

I don't think it was that either. All politicians are untrustworthy and have done sketchy things that cause controversies.

Hillary Clinton is simply not a very skilled politician. She has no charisma, can be stiff and awkward, and is not good at/does not enjoy retail politics. If she never married Bill, she would have been a partner at a law firm in Chicago somewhere with no public visibility whatsoever. Which I don't mean as an insult per se - she just would not have remotely sniffed the halls of power that she has in her life if it wasn't for her husband, who is probably one of the most skilled politicians of the last 100 years.

Oh, that is for sure wrt her relationship to Bill. I would say both are true.

It's funny that Scarborough was much better spirits than his colleagues this morning. I heard on this forum they were melting down so I turned it to the channel and watched for a little while. If anyone shouldn't give a shat, it's Mika. Bad look to seem so defeated. Her facial and body language was pathetic for a so-called professional journalist
