A few days ago I was feeling down.
How can:
DJT & KH be tied?
Ppl feel OK about forcing their religion on others?
Ppl fail 2 see DJT is a criminal & corrupt?

(7,802 posts)Congrats! It seems like we're being inundated with a tsunami of republican propaganda polls. I'm sure dark money is funding them and foreign money as well. Stay the course and VOTE!!!

(2,131 posts)I.e., "Flight or Flight" and they want to harness that aggression to their ends. But some people respond with the more recently labeled "freeze" option, and they want to utilize that mind set to discourage effective opposition.
Note: There are some psychologists who denote four fear responses: "Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn".
Trump is stupid enough to think that the fawning response is actual love.

(69,582 posts)too, psychological warfare, that is fascist tactic. And the maga cult many are under its spell. Sickening.

(81,186 posts)We did early voting yesterday and it felt SO good to get our ballots in for K & Gloria Johnson (running against ruskie-loving scum blackburn).

(5,529 posts)I didn't think she would stand a chance against Marsha Blackburn in red Tennessee. But Gloria has been traveling all over the state, and Blackburn has been getting nervous enough to spend money on ads.

(81,186 posts)I sure hope Gloris will kick blackburn to the curb.

(1,284 posts)By that measure, wow
Kamala Harris is simply sweeping the rug of Mr. Trumps sorry, unpopular, pitiful self.
I do wish someone who cares about Mr. Trump would get him to a sleep clinic. He looks painfully exhausted. I suppose the problem is there is not anyone who actually cares for him. The sad sack who would rule America into the ash heap of history cannot get his zzzzs. What a cosmic pathetic farce !

(22,382 posts)Donny drew massive crowds in 2016 while trailing Clinton in the polls even after she got Comey'd, yet did better than his polling in several key states. His crowed sizes shrank in 2020 and Biden beat him handily. At the time, who knew AZ and GA were even in play? Today, he's relegated to smaller venues.
Pre-flood, he had to settle for Asheville's Thomas Wolfe instead of the much larger Civic Center (Harrah's Cherokee) , but couldn't even fill that in ruby red western NC. I could be wrong, but it feels like this is 2016 in reverse with Harris outperforming the polls. All signs other than the rash of recent polls would indicate that.

(1,284 posts)Mr. Trumps rallies in 2020 actually killed his supporters, too. Never forget Herman Cain and all of the other Tulsa victims of Mr. Trumps desperate need for acclamation even during a deadly pandemic.

(1,284 posts)The fact that VP Harris favorability is on the upswing in those polls, is a thing of pure beauty to me. Meanwhile Mr. Trumps unfavorability remain his only opportunity for growth.
H2O Man
(79,122 posts)(or the day before) I answered my phone and took the 5th poll questions that I have had this year. When I combine my answers from each of the five, I'm pretty encouraged. Heck, the results line up perfectly with my thinking over the past few months!
Nonetheless, Mr. Trumps favorables go down, while VP Harris go up or remain positive.
It is written
My imagination is much more fulsome. In imagination land, our Vice President is about to take this country by all fifty states.
I know there be turd wads among us, poor pitiful creatures. I also know they are a lot fewer in number than some would have us believe.
H2O Man
(79,122 posts)will be a clear win for the Harris-Walz ticket. I am hoping that a lot of Democrats down-ticket win, as well.
I've been working with a county Democratic HQ and two town's today.
Tweedy
(1,284 posts)I am quite hopeful. VP Harris and Governor Walz are running a nearly flawless campaign and her prosecutorial instincts are just excellent. Meanwhile, Mr Trump occasionally amuses his shrinking crowds, while generally actually abusing them.

(12,149 posts)our mail in ballots. About 25 in line here in Republican St Johns county. Visited our Democratic Clubs booth outside the building and gave the stink eye to the MAGATS hooting and hollering at theirs. Very satisfying morning.
