I hope there is some serious researcch done on Trump's 70MM voters.

I wonder how many of these voters were 1st or 2nd timers? Young vs. old? Income/Educational level. I think 1/3 of his votes were Trump only. They loved his rallies! He's the Truthteller! They won't bother with races that don't have Trump on the ballot.

What makes up the population of a given precinct demographically.

I wouldn’t rely on surveys because it’s clear Trump voters don’t trust them and often lie to the pollsters. “Shy” my ass.

I'm assuming male gender here. Secondly, do you know how strange it is to call someone Underpants"?

Anyways, undies, I think 30% are 1 time voters. In for Trump, clueless for all the other political shit. Which means Republicans are going to have some serious problems going forward....

news articles, interviews, videos, etc focusing on the Trump voters after 2016- I have no doubt we'll be drowning in their racist misery once more.

I have to wonder if 70 million votes is indeed the true number.

With all this attention on "voter fraud" where there is none--Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia--I wonder about states that aren't receiving much if any scrutiny at all--Mississippi, South Carolina, Kentucky, etc.

Wouldn't it be ironic (but entirely predictable) if those charges of "massive voter fraud" turned out to be true--about Republicans?

Take those 2 things away, and we're looking at something that most of us would consider almost normal.

America will always have right-wing crazies, they are baked into the formula. But those nutjobs should never, ever have gotten the media airplay they have received for the last 4 years. We Democrats/liberals/progressives need to take back the narrative from these crazy people. We need to shit-can Faux Noise.
