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.
Y'all still don't get it. That's why the Dems got boat raced. Little echo chambers and thought bubbles. And zero introspection.I’ve come to the conclusion that there have been generally 3 types of Trump voters:

What was the final senate composition? Did that independent guy in the Midwest end up losing?The Democrats still have the Filibuster to use as a bulwark against Trump.

You, and all others who completed their sentences, should have their voting rights restored.I just saw Portnoy's video on why Democrats lost..... It's very much in line with my thoughts. As someone who didn't support either of the candidates I feel like there wasn't a great choice..... But there was only one choice, if you forced me to make one.
For the record I lost my right to vote as a stupid young man. And I have many old friends who've lost their rights as well.
I will tell you from discussion with them..... Felons who've lost their rights to vote often work construction with illegal aliens and legal workers from across the border......... And it's not uncommon to find out through discussion on job sites that they have voted ........... And that's a huge problem for them.
They can understand the consequences of their actions....... And even though they completely changed their lives and have paid taxes, stayed out of trouble for decades they can't vote and participate in the process that affects their children......... But a guy can come to this country as a guest worker, or illegally and cast a vote they can't........... That sticks with you!
