If Trump wins by getting massive rightward swings in urban areas, it will only be the 2nd time in world history that a right wing candidate won by swinging urban areas rightwards with South Korea being the first pic.twitter.com/ApxsBlyfq7
They love crime more than police, illegal aliens more than city services, homeless druggies more than families, high taxes more than flourishing business…
…plus trash and filth and violence and graffiti on every vertical surface.
Trump with his law and order and prosparity nonsense needs to read the room.
Donald’s pros-parity means a barber shop on every corner.
That will go down well in Dallas.

I think we’ll see who read the room better in November. Until then, the fluffers should stick to twitter. /jk
Meanwhile, who *really* knocked down that bridge in Maryland?

setnaffa, do you really have to ask who knocked down the bridge? If you’ve been watching any MSN in the last 8 years, you would know it was all Trump’s fault. He should have protected the bridge when he was prez and made sure it was protected after he left office.

Yeah… there is something up with the bridge… several aspects that don’t fit the narrative… so it is being ignored.
– the ships was having power problems the entire time it was docked… Aye, Capt’n Behindgrinder, we will be dealing with that at sea… incompetence at every level, not maliciousness
– the media was quick to report the all-indian crew… which makes sense, as they were clearly turning it off and back on again (I’m here all night, folks, shows at 7 and 9!) The media is less quick to report where the captain is from… wanna guess?
– eight taxpayer-funded roadworkers were filling potholes. One survived without injury, one was seriously injured, six are missing. All are non-Americans with anchor babies.
– Everybody was quick to talk federal funds to solve this. Nobody mentioned the people responsible, from the ship owner to the insurer. But privatize profit and socialize risk is today’s crony capitalism… and then yell that capitalism failed.
Everything in America is broken.

Not everything in America is broken.
There are still kind people, good students, healthy neighborhoods, affordable housing, and decent job opportunities.
Folks just need to stop assuming the world owes them anything but entropy. Once we get a more humble attitude, opportunities start happening. Even to folks like me.
And we all need to start ignoring the folks who make money off predicting doom and gloom. They are not our friends.
If you need a job, look up Andrew LaCivita on YouTube. Hundreds of free videos with better advice than most paid sources. Plus, if you have the money, you can take his more in-depth training. I used the free to get one job and then invested and got a better one. As always, YMMV; but many companies are still hiring.
The rest, kind people, good students, healthy neighborhoods, affordable housing, is visible after we turn off the TV, get off our tail-feathers, and take a walk outside. Like the goodness at the end of the 1939 Wizard of Oz, it was there all the time.

Set, I think personal success is easier than ever but societal success is not.
I study a couple hours every day. There are so many high-quality free classes and tutorials in every subject and level.
Between that and AI, which is now my coworker, I can accomplish things very quickly that were only dreams ten years ago.
But the majority of people don’t see the new world coming. They don’t pay attention, keep their skillsets relevant, and plot their place in the coming system (or all the possible systems).
The future is not bright for these people. They will live in a pod, eat the bugs, own nothing, and likely not be as happy as promised.
With the current trend, they will be debt slaves with every joy requiring a monthly subscription fee.
If you have value, you can live the life you want on your terms… in a nice neighborhood surrounded by nice people who stay that way because they have sonething to lose and dont want to be on the other side of wall too where there is crime and bad roads and no healthcare and fewer bridges every year rather than more.
Personal success is easy but society is being desteoyed… intentionally.
Somebody really does “hate us for our freedoms”.

Nick Freitas had a video re: reddening urban areas:

No way the urban left will swing right.

Correct.
