I think Tennessee was the most lopsided state one way for any states over 10 Electoral Votes. It was 64% Trump. Vermont was the only state that was that high for Kamala.

Wyoming (72%), West Virginia (70%), and Oklahoma (67%), and North Dakota (67%) were the only states higher for Trump.

Arkansas, Alabama, and Kentucky came in at 64% as well.

Every SEC state went for Trump. So Southeastern Conference clearly went one way. I am thinking the Big12 may have been 100% Trump as well (pending Arizona holds for Trump).

I don't think anyone expected anything differently in TN. Enjoy the victory lap though

Dems are always talking about the parties in the South „switched side“ in the 1970s to explain away their racist past with the myth of Nixon‘s „Southern Strategy“.
What most people don’t remeber is just how recently Tennessee was solidly Democrat dominated. In the 1980s and 1990s we had Senators Gore and Sasser and Governor McWhorter. In the Chattanooga area, Marylin Lloyd held her house seat forever. The big watershed seemed to be 2000; the time when Gore lost the presidency because he and his party had drifted so far to the left. TN had been solidly red for a long time since.
It was that way all across the South. Most Southern Senators were Democrat until the new millennium. Texas even had Governor Ann Richards not that long ago.
The democrat loss of the South was rapid and it was recent. I Hope we are seeing the exact same process playing out in the rust belt now.

Stay with me but this is where I have seen a potential segment for Republicans to tap into that has historically been against them: non-white voters.

A lot of non-white voters still vote Democrat due to fears around race. However, their values match the right in many ways. Trump is slowly chipping away at that but it is going to take time and work. The south still had a lot of those old dog white Democrats that kept voting Democrat even after their party left them (heck some of them are still around).

people who want to immigrate to this country to become a citizen must also assimilate to this country and sharia law does not represent values or mores or legal system of this country

Where is it written they must assimilate? It took most of our ancestors several generations to do that

As long as it's not in violation of us law I see no issues with people running their lives as they see fit. Seems you want govt to control lives which I find ridiculous

Stoning and flogging. Amputations. Before the Bible comparisons are made, are followers of Sharia Law still practicing these things? Do they still consider these things to be righteous or gave they moved on from tge savagery?

Dipping my toe into the AI thing (with help from Google):

In Sharia law, punishments are categorized as Hadd (for crimes with fixed penalties) and Ta'zir (where the judge has discretion), with Hadd punishments including stoning, flogging, and amputation for crimes like adultery, theft, and apostasy, while Ta'zir punishments range from reprimands to execution.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
  • Hadd Punishments:
      • Stoning: Can be prescribed for adultery, especially when involving a married person.
      • Flogging: May be used for crimes like drinking alcohol or, in some interpretations, adultery.
      • Amputation: Can be prescribed for theft, typically the right hand.
      • Death Penalty: Can be prescribed for crimes such as apostasy from Islam, murder, and rape.
    • Ta'zir Punishments:
        • Judge's Discretion: Punishments are not fixed by the Quran or Sunnah, allowing judges to consider the circumstances and impose penalties like reprimands, flogging, exile, or even execution.
        • Examples of Ta'zir Crimes: Perjury, bribery, usury, dishonesty, cheating, sheltering criminals, slander, and negligence of religious duties.
    • Qisas/Diyya:
        • Qisas: "An eye for an eye" principle, where the victim's family has the right to seek retribution for a crime, including capital punishment.
        • Diyya: Blood money, a financial compensation paid to the victim's family in lieu of seeking retribution.

Many sound like current us law.

Which of those not covered by us law are you most scared of?
