"No way in hell!"

My husband and I spent some time on the phone this afternoon, reminding Democrats to vote. I took my own precinct where they know me as precinct committee person. My husband took a nearby community. We call voters who always vote Democratic, all the way down to people who vote occasionally. He got one guy who has a 50% rating on voting for Democrats. Husband left a message. The guy texted him back, "No way in hell."

I guess he is a magat convert. LOL.

They must not be very well read/versed in history. ... perhaps a Fox viewer who loves all the lies.

The vitriol and coarse crudeness. That runs so deep. It must be self loathing.

10. And mob mentality

Both kinds of mobs.

The mob of idiots who go along, get brainwashed, or get caught up in the cause

And the mob as in mafia as in they're connected, part of that GOPQ family and support them and wouldn't cross them.

But I agree they are full of self loathing, and they project that hate onto others not like them.

7. Sadly that is a lot of it and as driven by RW MSM. It's so damn hateful

and unproductive. The GOP never seems to have plans beneficial to the people and country, they generally spread nothing but hatred and ugliness. And RW MSM picks it up and goes with it while increasing their bottom line profits.

Lindsay Graham can’t figure out how to fit in.
But I can assure him he fits in.

Maybe he has no way to the polls and just happens to live in a certain Michigan city?
