Reading through Nate Silver's tweet replies, the ugliness towards him from Rs is sickening

It matches the fascist mean-spirited tendencies they showed by harassing the Biden campaign in TX earlier. The cockiness and downright arrogance they are showing, despite being down by an epic margin nationally and far away from 270, is also unreal.

If I was Nate, I would turn off tweet replies. Why expose yourself to that level of pure vile and hatred?

But Nate Silver isn't a pollster. He doesn't conduct polls. He creates a model and aggregate polls. LOL

In fact we all get it if we show our colors.

The hate in this country fueled by the dick in the WH is always palpable. God save us if he were to have another term!

I for one, am going to take at least an hour for myself on wed or thursday, have a nice glass of scotch, turn on Fox or FreeRepublic, and sit and enjoy 'the lamentations of the women'.

We have an electrician coming here Wednesday morning. I don't need a headache or hangover while I deal with him.

We may know more by Wed night anyway. A celebration will be more meaningful.

That contingent can scream all they want; they WILL go. And if it comes to that, it will go QUICKLY, no matter how many camo vests and AR-15s they bring.

They concealed their ugliness under the 'family values' 'love for country' facade for many years until Trump came along and they dropped the facade.
