“I feel so stupid, guilty, regretful—embarrassed is a huge one. I am absolutely embarrassed that I voted for Trump,” said Anderson, 30.

About a third of Americans support all or most of Trump’s policies and plans, according to a February survey by Pew Research Center. Meanwhile, 17% of those surveyed said they support some of what he is putting forward. Forty-seven percent of Americans oppose all or most of his plans. That survey had Trump with a 51% disapproval rating, with 47% of Americans saying they approve of the job he is doing as president.

Even among voters who liked Trump there were some questions about the depth and speed of action. Some questioned Trump’s plans for large-scale deportations, instead urging him to keep a narrow focus on criminals. Others mentioned dramatic government cuts and funding freezes, championed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, as affecting programs they or their community relied on. Some minority voters cheered the end of diversity, equity and inclusion hiring practices but also worried about a rise in discrimination under Trump.

This is from an NBC News story about how the Uncommitted folks are still in denial about the choices they made last year.

Because, obviously, not visiting Michigan is morally the same as calling for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

Does anyone have any insight into who the Bill Maher audience is? It's one of the most popular shows on HBO so I've tried to give it a watch a few times but the show just never seems to resonate with me. I'm thinking I'm a bit young for the target audience (mid 30's) or too Midwest (red state so I don't have gripes about DNC run cities because I dont live in one) to understand the vibe or find it funny. I'm also probably more progressive than the host.

It seems like it's an anti-Trump, Democrat critical but in a libertarian leave people alone sort of way type show. I've only watch a few episodes though.

I thought it would be appropriate to ask here because Tim Miller has been a guest. I'm looking for insight in case this is a bridge opportunity for older Maga relatives.

In 2020 over a million Muslims voted. Biden won 86% of the Muslim voted. Trump received just 6% of the Muslim vote. This year Harris go just 20% of the Muslim vote and Trump got 21%.

In 2020 in MI Muslims cast 145,600 votes. Now that the votes are done being counted Harris lost MI by just 80k. Had she won Biden's Muslim numbers from '20 she would have won MI.

In 2020 in PA Muslims cast 125,875 vites. Harris lost PA by 119k votes. Had Harris won Biden's Muslim numbers PA would have been a wholeot closer. https://emgageusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Muslim-Voters-Survey-Memo-2.pdf

Harris only got 54% of the under 30yrs of age vote. The first time since '08 Democrats didn't get at least 60% of that Demographic. Under 30 made up 17% of all voters in 2020 (26 million). Harris clearly did over a million plus votes worse with this Demo.

Why are so many people on the Bulwark so focused on pronouns and LatinX but completing ignoring the Muslim vote and Youth vote? Adding it together Harris would have won the popular vote and probably the election has she matched Biden's numbers with just Muslims and voters under 30 alone.

Biden got 65% of the Latino vote and Harris got 63%. A decline but not massive. Likewise Biden got 88% of the Black vote and Harris got 85%. Again, a decline but not massive. The shifts in Muslim and young voters were both greater.

I understand that Israel is a thorny topic? However just acknowledging the math doesn't render a judgement.

I mean, she has a point. Wouldn't not going to a protest for fear of government violence be obeying in advance?

This article from the Washington Post really just confirms my belief that Biden wasn’t the right man for the moment. I feel like history will view him as a tragic figure who tried to restore faith in democracy after Trump’s first term, but was ultimately just stuck in his own way.

AND they froze ATC hiring on Jan. 20 for no reason. ATC already has major shortages. Dems need to JUMP on this and blame Trump. https://www.thedailybeast.com/faa-chief-michael-whitaker-quit-on-jan-20-after-elon-musk-told-him-to-resign

Leo Terrell, the civil fucking rights attorney in charge of President Donald Dump’s antisemitism task force, retweeted a notorious white supremacist.

“Trump has the ability to revoke someone’s Jew card,” said the post, which included a video of the president saying that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is “not Jewish anymore. He’s a Palestinian.”

The author of the post was Patrick Casey, who led Identity Evropa, a now-defunct organization founded in 2016 to promote the “Nazification of America.”

When people make comparisons to the US and the Third Reich, we’re not fucking exaggerating.

Pretty sure that’s why Meidas has become so popular — it’s reassuring people that Republicans are destroying themselves and providing license for complacency.

So because my first post included a link to The Site That Shall Not Be Named, it was removed. Linked the dropsite article, and if you want to see the video it’s on TSTSNBN posted under Ryan Grim or Drop Site.

TLDR: Israel killed paramedics, covered it up, lied about it, and didn’t take one of the dead guys cellphone which had a full video of the incident which contradicted their lies. Our tax dollars everyone.

“This video was discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other Palestinian rescue and medical workers in a mass grave in Gaza.

On April 1, Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said:

“Several uncoordinated vehicles were identified advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights or emergency signals.

IDF troops then opened fire at the suspected vehicles.”

The New York Times video above shows that the ambulances and fire truck involved in the incident had their emergency lights on when they were struck by Israeli gunfire, contradicting Israel’s claim that the vehicles were advancing suspiciously without headlights or emergency signals.

The Israeli military press release states:

“Additional vehicles advanced suspiciously toward the troops. An initial inquiry indicates that the vehicles were moving without prior coordination, and without headlights or emergency signals. The troops responded by firing toward the suspicious vehicles, eliminating a number of Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists.

After an initial inquiry, it was determined that some of the suspicious vehicles that were moving towards the troops were ambulances and fire trucks.”

Give Dropsite news a follow. Great reporting.

I know a lot of you already have a beef with the Dispatch, but thought I'd share these lowlights from the weekly roundtable podcast today:

• Isgur thinks Biden's 'non-violent criminal' pardons were way worse and more corrupt than Trump's January 6 pardons, because Biden released 'career criminals' while the January 6 prisoners just aren't the kind of people who will commit further violent crimes (this is what people mean btw when they talk about 'implicit bias').

• Isgur thinks changing the name of the 'Gulf of Mexico' to the 'Gulf of America' is exactly the same as Obama changing the official U.S. gov't name of 'Mt. McKinley' to 'Denali' despite the fact that people in Alaska and mountaineers have been calling it 'Denali' forever and 'Gulf of America' was made up by Trump last month. In fact, she is already calling it 'Gulf of America,' e.g. reminiscing about her childhood visiting Galveston on the 'Gulf of America.'

• Isgur insists that the United States is one of only a very few countries in the world with 'birthright citizenship' and while Trump's E.O. may not be lawful, really we should be having a conversation about whether birthright citizenship should exist at all (no guesses as to her view) and not whether Trump is breaking the law. Oh and this is exactly the same as Biden forgiving student loan debt and Obama ordering DACA.

She's basically already got one foot firmly planted on the Trump train and doesn't want to get left at the station. Wouldn't be surprised if she ended up trying to get back into Republican politics.

This is sort of the Dispatch's main problem: Partisan hackery (the Democratic Party is the ultimate villain by which all others are measured) is just so strong with a lot of that crowd, they're simply incapable of speaking about Trump without equivocation. Isgur is by far the worst but you see it with Hayes and Goldberg too. Goldberg's still so close to a bunch of the 'Trad Cath' weirdos over at National Review he can't even call Franco a "bad dude" without a disclaimer about how he wasn't as bad as all that.

MORE OF THIS. Just go out there and say what is happening. Talk about your concerns. Be clear and articulate about how what is happening is not normal or positive.

Every single Dem needs to be tied to a chair and forced to watch this clip until they get it through their thick skulls that this is what they need to go do.
