A lot of right wing old people stay close to home anyhow. A lot of them went through the Depression already. They already know how to make do. They are less likely to get it than you might think. And they, above all of the younger generations, WILL go to the polls. They will get special times to do it, like at the grocery stores, probably.

What I want to know is where is the data on these armed terrorists (that others call, "protesters)? They need to be the ones he kills off the most. THEN, we can be sure we might stand a chance of winning.

Stupid people follow their stupid heroes over a cliff without a doubt or so much as a question. Never forget that. I want our side to win more than anyone, because I am trapped in a very red area of a barely purple, red leaning state. I want Trump gone along with all of the other corrupt Republicans, especially corrupt NC Republicans, because I know how they have run roughshod over my state and were never punished at all for it. They got away with it all.

But, never forget how blindly stupid people will follow that formula Trump has faked to get where he is. And that is what it really is. He has used a formula, that included God, guns, and declaring open season in dog whistles (and sometimes outright) to them. Politics be damned. They want liberal heads on a platter. They want to be out maiming, torturing, and killing minorities. That is their real goal. Never forget that about Trump's base. At their core, all they want is that "open season" feeling to go after minorities. Sure, they hate liberals, but they really REALLY hate black people, gay people, trans people, Jewish people, and women who won't bow down to them. That is what their driving motivation is.

The bigots are the people that should be getting it and dying to lessen the numbers in Trump's base, not older people. Trump's real base is bigots. I know plenty of older people who are NOT Republicans and don't vote Republican, even here in red county hell in a barely purple conservative leaning state. Old people are not the enemy. Old Republicans, sure, but they are not the majority of Trump's base. The majority of Trump's base, in reality, are bigots.

A lot of the ones that don't die will get sick of his incompetence and lying captain queeg May 2020 #1

the numbers of deaths they project are ludicrously high, the study is very flawed Celerity May 2020 #21
But they don't have to die, just enough of them need to see the light Rstrstx May 2020 #23
