Left-wing media? Talking shit about a Republican? Oh that's a real stunner.

Hint: they mainly went after safe targets like that or went after unsafe targets with kid gloves for a reason.
It’s pretty interesting how people will parrot left wing media talking points subconsciously. The conditioning runs deep.
 
They aren't riot level, they're temper-tantrum level at best. They also died down when the school year ended and won't come back in sufficient levels come August given the financial and reputation damage they pose. Basically, unless there's a Vietnam War level coordinated resistance to the draft, or BLM type riots, it's just regular unrest, not social unrest.
Outbursts of public anger don't become significant and influential without some kind of elite support. The Pro-Palestine protests are occurring counter to the regime's interests, so pallets of bricks aren't materializing on street corners when they occur. Maybe the Republicans should deliver a few pallets to Chicago for the DNC . . .
 
The thing about Project 2025 is that as far as I can tell, a lot of it is the exact sort of Bush era conservatism that Republican voters rejected when they elected Trump in the 2016 primaries. It's crazymaking watching liberals get mad about it because they spent all 4 years of the Trump presidency being nostalgic for Bush.
The only thing the left hates more than the last Republican president is the current Republican president.
Of course they didn't go for a "bipartisan agreement" that some democrat cooked up for them, they don't want to be bipartisan, they want their own plan, they are only going to try and be bipartisan if they can't get their own plan and are forced into a position where they have to compromise. Why is this so hard for liberals to understand?
I have some vague recollection of this, but even if I didn't, these kinds of Democrat advanced 'bipartisan agreements' are usually just trojan horses for awful unrelated pork. Then the Republicans inevitably reject the bipartisan border security bill that comes with forced transitions for 41% of minors and the media goes and reports on it as 'The Republicans rejected a bipartisan attempt at solving the border crisis.'

And it’s not like these Democrat talking heads even support a ‘bipartisan agreement’ anyway. They are all for open borders anyway, and if the Republicans did pass it, they would point all the ‘bad things’ in the bill the Republicans ‘snuck in’.
 
My favorite apocalyptic aspect for the Democrats is that it only took four years of Biden in office to lose a huge chunk of their voter block. The funny thing is that (legal) Latino immigrants are becoming increasingly anti-immigration and want more border control. They don't look favorably on illegal immigrants jumping in line when they went through the legal process. Seems like reddit users are the last group that wants open borders.

I'm wary of polls.
I remember that last few cycles showed the GOP winning by wide margins and then those margins not happening. It's happened too many times now.

Trump has generally outperformed the polls. In 2016 the RCP average heading into the election was +3.2 for Clinton and Trump ended up winning. In 2020 the RCP average hading into the election was +7.2 for Biden.

One important thing to understand about polls is that they have a margin of error which usually isn't reported or included in the aggregate data. Most of the polls have a margin of error of at least 3% and I would say that it's probably closer to 5% just given the nature of what they're trying to measure.


The greatest lie the left ever managed to tell was that the Nazis were in any way politically right. The party's actual name was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei  which is German for National Socialist German Worker's Party. Their politics were squarely against capitalism and big business and in many ways they were ahead of their time because they added racial identity to the usual socialist claptrap whereas other socialist countries at the time were still only using it to divide classes based on wealth or economic factors.

Once Hitler gained control of Germany he mainly focused on exterminating Jews, gypsies, and anyone else he didn't like and building up for war. The reason Hitler hated the communists in Russia as well is that he believed Marxism was some crypto-Jewish plot to make nations subservient to Jews. Their actual economic policy based on what they did is rather mixed with some businesses being nationalized (mainly for war production purposes) and some government functions being privatized.
