Midterm Election Game day Thread

[mooby]

Blue wave my ass. I have no faith in my generation to show up.

I work for Fairfax County, the shop I worked at today is a polling place. I come in at 5:30 this morning and our normal parking lot was already half full with people waiting. I was inside and outside all day and all fucking day the parking lot was full with a line of people in the lobby.

And do you know how many millenials I saw? There was 10 old people for every young person I saw.

Literally saw 3 retirement community buses show up full of old people to go vote. As long as it stays like this the left has no chance. Kids are too fucking stupid these days.

Congratulations to President Trump, the fear mongering apparently did a hell of a job mobilizing his voter base.

honestly though, retirement homes have long, like unions, been solid Democrat supporters. I doubt they were voting Republican in Fairfax...

Fair enough, counterpoint though: A lot of these people that showed up were working class folk like me and my coworkers (who generally favor Trump if they are a middle-aged white male, which majority are).

I don't want to draw any conclusions based on my own personal experience, but the image of the Trump supporter is a pretty acknowledged one.

Anyways, in light of the fact Kaine won reelection and Comstock got voted out, it seems the left showed up for nova.

Part of the reason why the stereotype of a Trump supporter or Republicans in general all look the same is that when people that are not the stereotype actually are right leaning they get lambasted. The paper in this case handled it right, but you see this type thing quite often. I could imagine its very difficult for non white people on the right to actually share their beliefs because they get branded traitors.

I agree, not saying his supporters are exclusively middle aged white males, but the majority definitely are.

Also I don't want to give Breitbart a click but FYI you can find that story on much more reputable websites. Believe it or not that partisan hack MSNBC had it as one of their leads yesterday afternoon.

The only reason i used that link is because it wasn't an opinion or policy article, was just a straight news article.

Giantone posted a Politico article about caravan facts and I don't want to give that a click, lol.

I know a lot of folks who were super pissed about the handling of the Big Kavy Supreme Court nomination. It def energized the base.

Plus lotta folks like working and making money...the economy is balling at record pace
