They are also the youngest, most heavily male, whitest, and least educated branch, and those last three at least are real strong predictors of trumpiness. This doesn't break out Hispanic whites/non-Hispanic whites tho, and I imagine that would change those numbers quite a bit.

e: it actually does break out Hispanic/Latino! If we subtract that number entirely from 'white' (probably not entirely accurate) the marines are still the whitest by a few percentage points, and are also the most Hispanic/Latino.

I’m in Coachella, Calif., yes, that Coachella, where former President Donald J. Trump is taking another detour from the swing-state circuit to hold an outdoor rally in a reliably blue state and in a spot best known for its popular music festival. The temperature just hit 100 degrees, roughly 10 degrees above average for this time of year. Thousands of Trump supporters have been exposed to the desert sun for several hours, and the campaign has distributed bottled water and ice.

lol he went to coachella to soothe his feefees and is getting blasted by climate change instead

Worth noting that this poll is from 2017, when he'd had very little time as president. Would be curious to see how it looked closer to the end of his term and also now, when there's been an administration in between.

There's a reason why I capitalize Voters. I mean, you can think Donnie is the anti-war candidate if you simply don't listen to a thing he says about Iran et al and ignore plans to basically declare war against American cities and bomb Mexico.

That said, it's Kamala and her team's job to figure out these Undecided Voters that more or less make mouth noises like they're actively paying attention when they're clearly not. Like I doubt she's even seeing the wave of transpanic ads that Donnie's airing everywhere.

The usual thought concept is if Democrats lose, that will mean Democrats just take their advice and move left in the next election*. They don't really see how it will immediately rocket Shapiro into 2028 election* frontrunner status and and a rightward shift for the party as they write off online-lefties as ungettable.

Better to be inside the tent complaining and trying to make things suck less versus being outside of the tent, dying while demanding to be let in. Accelerationism will always lead to sunshine and rainbows next time!

Also clout. It's always for clout.

quote:

"Just look what happened last night in Omaha, after the Trump rally ended, hundreds of people, including older Americans and children, were stranded in subzero freezing temperatures for hours," Biden told reporters during a brief speech in Wilmington, Delaware. "Several folks ended up in the hospital. ... It's an image that captured President Trump's whole approach in this crisis. ... He makes a lot of big pronouncements, but they don't hold up."

Edit: and others!

Here we go again.
Last week I overheard two coworkers (blue-collar field) talking about how terrible it is that the US has been sending billions of dollars in cash to Ukraine since it's an utterly hopeless war and how much better it will be when Trump wins and puts a stop to that waste of money and just lets Russia win the war and conquer Ukraine again, since it was basically just Russia anyway.

They then proceeded to agree that Putin is obviously terrified of Trump winning the election because Trump is too manly and tough to let Russia just do whatever it wants to other countries.

No cognitive dissonance whatsoever. Neither of them even realized the contradiction as far as I could tell. At least the guy I was training at the time called them idiots when we were done with our task.

He was always super enthusiastic about the games and could get extremely grognardy sometimes, but is exactly the kind of guy where I was not surprised at all when I recognized him after reading an article about him committing to the bit with that.
