Still proves my point - Democrats are cloistered around a few big cities and that is all. Before Trump, Republicans had both the rural vote and a slimmer majority of the suburban vote (generally the areas surrounding the big cities).
I do not know of anything in this world that will not prove any of your points. You are near to perfection.

Lmao. Even if this were true, it makes them idiots. The Republicans passed 'tax cuts' which are temporary for the "WWC" and permanent for corporations.

No wonder people say Republicans love the less educated.

If I am not mistaken the working class have a tax increase due in the couple years old Trump passed.

Trump now believes all Republicans lost their races due to imaginary fraud effort​


Donald-Trump-with-dumb-hat.jpg


President Donald Trump retweeted a conspiracy theory from his former lawyer Sidney Powell claiming a slew of House and Senate seats were likely lost along with the presidency.

For weeks, Trump has claimed that his failed election was a fraud. It led Democrats to ask how it could have been a fraud if so many other Republicans won in the House and Senate. Now it seems the logic has caught up with the president.

“There is no telling how many Congressional & Senate seats, and even Governorships, we’ve lost because of this [election fraud]. They’ve been telling us that the country has been trending blue. It has not. That is an abject lie. We’ve collected the data that’s going to show that, among many other things.”

If the Democrats were so well organised, funded and clever as to plan, develop and implement such wide scale fraud, as claimed, without leaving any real evidence of it, then they are way better positioned to run a country than Trump, who pretty much fails at everything he does, that's for sure

So that would mean Mugabe was the right man for Zimbabwe after all :)

Thats true, however like soldierboy tells us. A monkey would have beaten Trump so the fraud wouldn't have been necessary.

It's much easier to correlate Republican voting with lower levels of education than with income levels.


53% of >$100,000 voters in 2020 went for Republicans. All other income levels went for Democrats. Chris is precisely wrong about this.

On the other hand, non-college educated men voted in greater numbers for Trump:

IOW @Chris_the_Brit, I don't think that map says what you think it says.

I could refer you to this article: After the Midterms, One Party Controls All the Wealthiest Congressional Districts (yes it's a 2018 article, but a quick glance shows me not much movement from 2018).

  1. Congressional District 10, Virginia: $116,069 | Democrat
  2. Congressional District 18, California: $112,702 | Democrat
  3. Congressional District 17, California: $107,946 | Democrat
  4. Congressional District 11, Virginia: $105,024 | Democrat
  5. Congressional District 7, New Jersey: $104,987 | Democrat
  6. Congressional District 3, New York: $104,805 | Democrat
  7. Congressional District 11, New Jersey: $103,419 | Democrat
  8. Congressional District 8, Virginia: $100,649 | Democrat
  9. Congressional District 33, California: $99,902 | Democrat
  10. Congressional District 8, Maryland: $97,663 | Democrat

Trump will leave office under the threat of having his Twitter account shut down


trump-sad-afp-768x413.jpg


According to a report at the Daily Beast, Donald Trump will leave office on January 20th and at that time he will lose some of the protections that kept Twitter from shutting down his widely-viewed account.

As Adam Rawnsley writes, as a public official the president enjoys some allowances that are not extended to average user that have allowed him to create posts that could be considered threatening at worst — or otherwise improper.

As it stands now — and Twitter’s rules have been evolving during the election season — Trump is covered under rules that “lets public officials’ rule-breaking tweets stay up with labels and exempts their accounts from suspension,” but that will end when he leaves office.

To avoid the threat of suspension or outright banning, the soon-to-be ex-president has a few hoops that he would have to jump through.

Foremost of all would be making official moves to remain a candidate for office– or keep up the pretense of running.

“Trump, associates are now telling reporters, is intent on running for president again in 2024 and could declare his candidacy as early as Joe Biden’s inauguration day. And Twitter’s public interest exception applies not just to office holders but to candidates, too. A candidate Trump is entitled to the same exception as a President Trump. But determining when Trump—or anyone else—becomes a candidate for president in the eyes of Twitter is tricky because the company hasn’t made clear what threshold it uses for considering an account holder a candidate,” the report states.
