Last election, white women turned out for Trump. This election, it looks like he’s lost them (and he has a problem with seniors & other demos he won easily back then). Not sure dominance displays were the way to win them back. OTOH, it might work with black & Latino men. Who knows?

Interesting story about the FBI arresting right-wing extremists who conspired to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whittmer with the help of militias. Trump couldn’t bring himself to denounce the plot or the kidnappers-to-be directly (but he did condemn Antifa ?).

The FBI has consistently warned that right-wing extremists are the biggest terrorist threat. The Oklahoma bombers were right-wing extremists who inflicted the most deaths on US soil (excluding the 9/11 attack). Unfortunate for Trump that the threat was realised, especially when he was egging on the extremists in Michigan.

Wonder if the FBI kept The A/G William Barr out of the loop to avoid him running interference for Trump.

Wonder how Harris's record of sending black men to prison will work out for her?


Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 10-09-2020

I wonder if that’ll attract the Law & Order voters ...

Don't most voters support law and order?

I've got a feeling it's going to be a bit of a necessity after the election no matter who wins. Sad  Sad

Yes, but that doesn’t make them Law & Order voters.

Don't both parties support law and order though?

I think, as a general rule, the conservative parties tend to have stronger (i.e more punitive) policies in this space. The more centrist or left leaning parties are typically painted as "soft on crime." In order to alleviate this, they try to up the ante on law and order, which then creates a type of policy arms race, as the conservatives become more hardline to maintain a point of difference. So no matter how tough on crime the moderates become, the conservatives will go further, and are thus the preferred and traditional choice for the "lock em up and throw away the key" brigade.
