Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

He might be talking about her affiliation with CAIR, who have allegedly been involved in raising funds for Hamas as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation case in 2008.

Powerline Blog does a nice job of following the various controversies surrounding Omar and CAIR:

And a funny thing related to CAIR from today’s headlines: CAIR-Ohio executive director fired for allegedly sending information to anti-Muslim hate group

The people at Equis Research have released a very interesting post-mortem of 2020 overviewing the changes in voting behavior seen among Hispanics from 2016, to 2020, to now. They plastered the word "Latinx" all over their website so expect some Democratic bias in the conclusions, insights and observations they make. The post is big because there's a bunch of images, but a picture tells a thousand words.

The post-mortem begins by stating the obvious: Trump got more Hispanic support last year than he did in 2016. It proceeds to dive into some of the reasons they believe this happened:
  • Hispanics were more willing to vote for Trump because Covid meant that they were no longer having messages about racism and refugees and the border bored into their skulls every single moment
  • Hispanics voted more for Trump because they value the "American Dream" more
  • Democrats didn't try to contest Trump's rhetoric about socialism and border security
Among others. Now, here's the more juicy details:

In 2016, Equis found that some Hispanics they thought might vote for Trump didn't want to, because of two things: Trump's immigration policy, and their Hispanic identity.

But then, loe and behold: in 2020, Trump's immigration policy and Hispanic identity had little relevance. Voters opinions on these two topics did not significantly influence whether they voted for Trump or not.

The #1 issue that dominated Hispanic voters decision-making was the economy and then Covid. Trump's economic and Covid policies were really popular - even among liberal Hispanics.

Trump actually had surprisingly high approval among Hispanics on some immigration policies: namely, more border funding, limiting of asylum seekers/refugees, deportations and for building the wall.

Hispanics living along the border were the ones who approved of Trump's immigration policies the most.

Painting the Democrats as socialists was a really effective strategy for Trump, everywhere:

They then include some quotes:
“In the last elections, 2016, I didn’t vote. For me I saw [Trump] as a clown. He’s a clown… But he changed my mind. In my case, I felt a difference in stability. And he was running the country. Things that were problems a long time, he came in and did something about them quickly at the beginning… He was doing things, not just talking about them.”
- 40-year-old male Democrat in Miami, Colombian/Venezuelan, Clinton/Trump voter
“Last year I didn’t know who to vote for... I hated Trump for everything he said against my people, hated him for everything he did against my people… But it was the lesser of two evils… Economy-wise, Trump would have handled it a little better.”
—33-year-old male in Chicago, leans Democrat, voted Trump ’20
“Black Lives Matter…I don’t agree with that. Where are the Latinos? I feel like [people] have forgotten about the Latino community. A majority of us Latinos are immigrants, we are the ones who make this country run, and they don’t always appreciate us.”
- Latino Male in Miami, 33, Peruvian-American, didn’t vote ’16/voted Trump '20
Equis proceeds to characterize the types of people most succeptible to what they call "the weaponization of the American Dream", aka calling out leftist Democrats for the socialist wannabes they are:
  • "Those who get news from WhatsApp or right-wing outlets"
  • "Those who distrust the media"
  • "Those who believe in social mobility through hard work"
Simultaneously, they note that 1/3rds of Hispanic voters who say they are concerned about socialism in the Democratic Party still plan on voting Democratic. It seems to be a "vote with the rest of the herd" sort of thing.

Voting patterns shift gradually, but there is a clear shift happening here. Those who voted for Trump are not likely to fall back into a solid blue voting pattern and be more resistant to Democrat talking points. And in turn, those around them get gently pulled towards it too. If Trump gets back in, expect it to accelerate.

The problem for the Democrats here is ironically the very same reason the Republicans were bleeding voters gradually now just in reverse. When all you have is Rhetoric without any real substance, you begin losing your voters as they peel away slowly.

This is what really loses elections. Not foreign policy or tranny bathroom laws. They're fucked.
When inflation starts affecting the very base of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (food, shelter, fuel and other baseline needs,) it makes the proles grumble loudly. All the tiers of the hierarchy above it, including the next one (safety and security) disintegrate if the bottom falls out, and we're already seeing that with democrat-run major cities becoming hotbeds of crime and mayhem thanks to BLM, ANTIFA, and Soros-puppeted district attorneys.

The more that Monty Biden's Flying Circus continues to fuck up and pass the buck on the rise in prices and the supply/logistics problems plaguing ordinary Americans, the more illegitimate they're going to look in the eyes of the masses; and the more axes people are going to grind in response.
 

I don't know if it really belongs here but given Biden's desire to use the Guard for everything I think it fits enough. Tl:dr the National Guard's border mission was an embarrassing clusterfuck and definitely not a substitute for having an adequately funded Border Patrol actually allowed to do their jobs.

Bit of a detour, but Labour in the UK is suffering from that same exact issue. When the Norf wants the lights on and food on the table, they couldn't care what pronouns the London and Brighton crowd use. And much like the Dems over here in the USA, they've adopted the views and needs of that upper-middle crowd almost entirely.
 
I dunno about the end of democracy, but considering Trump's widely documented vindictive streak, it might be the end of the Democrats.

Personally I find the 'end of democracy' sobbing to be tiresome. Like that news article about how criticizing Biden was bad for our democracy. Shut the fuck up already, faggots.

Actually, what they are crying about is the “End of attempting to make everything into a pure democracy.” These people want to remove any measured sampling of public opinion. People forget that we are a representative republic, not a democracy. We elect our representation via democracy, but we don‘t (and should never) make our laws and policies based on raw population votes.
 
It's not so much that, because that is a valid argument that I'm not even trying to start. I thought I knew that students could vote, my brain is really froggy this morning. I get your point, I really do.

What bothers me is the transient nature of the population of the epicenter of the large universities that are now little more than liberal indoctrination camps due to the confluence of Social Justice (TM) and the relatively recent phenomenon of YOU NEED A DEGREE TO GET A JOB kind of bullshit. Now that the bachelor's is the new HS diploma, you can hook 'em into your viewpoints at Uni, then they vote for SocJus practically as a bloc locally, then scatter like roaches when they graduate to infest the surrounding areas.

The Dems not only have their pre-school to prison pipelines for their pets, they also have the high-school to college pipeline for their white donor class (not to mention the boon to the student loan industry). I was raised up working my first job in the fucking 80's and college degrees were for business, actual science and engineers - not inundated with soft science majors and churning out useless race/gender philosophers.

I'm just saying that the long march through the institutions really did work. There never existed such a position as "diversity and inclusion officer" pre-2000.
There was an interesting Twitter thread a while back saying that the nature of college itself - removing yourself from your community and being introspective and self-centered for four years - creates the environment to become liberal more than any classes. Academia in general is so insulated from the reality of implementing any of its ideas, and the communities on campus are all very temporary and weird. College/grad school made me more conservative in the long run because I thought it was funny how insulated they were, but I'm very in support of trade schools or any kind of system that allows people to learn while actually serving their neighbors and staying connected to their roots.
 
Daily reminder that there is no such thing as gender and thus almost all of those are made up bullshit. Ditto "asexual" and "aromantic" -- the term for that is "clinically depressed," it's not a sexuality.

The few that aren't outright dismissed by the tossing out of gender, like Intersex and the few sexuality flags, have their own issues. Intersex is some bullshit coomer delusion that you can be born as a Japanese futanari hermaphrodite, i.e., a dude/chick with a working dick and working vag, and it's only because of the evil medical establishment that this third sex has been suppressed for so long. The Gay pride flags are fine, but they don't belong in a school other than in sex ed, maybe.

That leaves like, the rainbow flag and apparently a handful of lesbians (because even here and now, women have to make EVERYTHING all about themselves).


Also note the stamp in the lower right corner of the comic poster -- that was approved for posting by the school.

To be fair, intersex people do exist. "Intersex" covers a broad swath of genetic disorders like Klinefelter (XXY) or Turner (X) syndromes, generally involving having too many, too few, or otherwise defective sex chromosomes. The results of these disorders vary, but generally involve mild physical differences, issues with genitalia, and/or infertility.

What's dumb is "intersex pride." You generally wouldn't be able to identify an intersex person in a crowd since the physical differences are slight enough to where you wouldn't notice them. Most intersex people don't want to call attention to their disorder and aim to present as either male or female, depending on which they're genetically closer to. I believe a lot of proponents of "intersex pride" are coomers that jacked it too much to futa porn. Sorry, but you can't be born with all the equipment and have it all working fine.

There are also troons that use intersex people as a bludgeon to demand more rights ("the existence of intersex proves I'm allowed in the girl's bathroom!"), which only makes the whole thing even more retarded.

TFW intersex people don't want to be lumped with the troons

Many people confuse transgender and transsexual people with people with intersex conditions because they see two groups of people who would like to choose their own gender identity and sometimes those choices require hormonal treatments and/or surgery. These are similarities. It’s also true, albeit rare, that some people who have intersex conditions also decide to change genders at some point in their life, so some people with intersex conditions might also identify themselves as transgender or transsexual.

In spite of these similarities, these two groups should not be and cannot be thought of as one. The truth is that the vast majority of people with intersex conditions identify as male or female rather than transgender or transsexual. Thus, where all people who identify as transgender or transsexual experience problems with their gender identity, only a small portion of intersex people experience these problems.

 
Tucker finally addressed a big elephant in the room and something I have seen Republicans use of late.

Speaking of corpo. news media, Newsmax has made it clearer that they are controlled opposition. Even more so when they forced Emerald to resign.

The only person worth watching on Newsmax is Steve Cortes, but he's a better political commentator when he works solo.
