Indeed, thanks Gov Younkin for reiterating that hard copies of Abigail Spanberger's win will be around for decades!

But if we would just have rational conversations and try to understand the frustrations of these disaffected white people…..

I’m the (Hoo) outsider on this forum, and I’ll apologize in advance to any NCSU fans this offends. It’s just a personal observation.
Over my many decades of following ACC sports, especially since the invention of sports message boards, I’ve noticed a lot (not all, but a lot) of NCSU fans seem happier when UNC loses than when their own team wins.
That’s kind of how I see middle/lower middle class MAGA’s. It would be in their own self interest in many cases to vote Dem, but their hatred for anything not white & straight overrides what’s best for their own household. They actually prefer seeing others suffer who don’t look/think like them.
I’m not sure any amount of “rational discussion” changes that.

First, don't apologize to them.
Second, this reminded me of an episode of Chris Hayes' "Why is This Happening?" podcast 3 or 4 years ago where he and the guest were talking about how the states that were trying to do the Medicare expansion couldn't convince rural white people to support it even though it would drastically improve their own situations...because it would also be giving medical care to black and brown people. Like they would rather die than let the others get something.

I’ve always assumed he thought he was creating emphasis with all caps but he has no clue which words to emphasize.

JFC...just when you think they can't lower the bar of stupidity any further. I mean the bar will eventually hit the floor.... right?
She’s a Trump by marriage. I don’t think the stupidity transfers by marriage.

The stupidity is inherent in the decision to enter the marriage.
She married Eric. That seems more strategic than romantic.

at this point, the bar is subterranean. And they still manage to trip over it.
