Queer people, a larger bloc than ever before, voted overwhelmingly for Harris. They and the young voters who embrace LGBTQ rights are essential to winning.
It’s all bullshit. Let’s accept the fact that over half the country is stupid and uninformed. I don’t know if this will ever change. Biden’s historic accomplishments for the average guy and Harris’s stellar campaign were all for naught. Let’s get real. Trump followed no rules before. The damage he will inflict on this country will take generations to repair. It’s up to the young generation now to decide what government they want to live under.
I think we have an opportunity to really slip them a pill here; I can't say what it is here unfortunately, but I think there is a real possibility here, so have a great Thanksgiving Day. I am in the middle of cooking Thanksgiving dinner early.
Thank you so much for this column! I literally smacked my forehead and said to myself, “The Queer Vote! Why aren’t reporters reporting on this demographic? “Sadly I think because this voting pattern doesn’t fit their current narrative of the turn to trump. I forwarded your column to many friends. Good to wake up to this positive news!
Maybe you or your smart commenters can explain something I see over and over--and do not understand--in Our Liberal Media. Pollsters, and public readers of poll results, tell us that Trump's margin of victory was the smallest since the Bush/Gore election in 2000. If what they actually mean is that the 'difference between the 2024 contenders was the smallest since 2000,' I get that.
But they say the 'margin of victory is the smallest since Bush/Gore.' Which makes no sense! Gore got more popular votes, but lost the presidency. Bush's 'margin of victory' was not a positive number.
So how can the media gadflies compare Bush's [losing] number to Trump's tiny victory? Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Thanks!
Ah, they literally mean the margin of the popular vote--and not the winner the election--and are only comparing the popular vote winners. HIllary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 against Trump by more than he won it against Harris (even though Clinton lost the EC). But Gore won it by a narrower margin than Trump. Does that make sense?
And by the way, Trump's margin ranks at 44 out of 51 since 1824.
Would be of interest to know what the current membership status of the Log Cabin Republicans in relation to their past membership numbers . How relevant is this abhor-ration of an LGBTQ+ organization these days? They appear to be silent , as far as I am aware.
Their only appearance in the 2024 campaign was shortly after the GOP convention, when they paid Melania Trump to attend a dinner in her honor. I recall a fee of $250,000 was paid. To Melania.
When Vance talked of normal gay guys, he had his sponsor Peter Thiel in mind, Peter once self described as gay, but has since recanted.
For the life of me I do not understand how Trump even got 14% of the vote,except there are Log Cabin Republicans, wealthy selfish prigs,whose money insulates them from society and cocoon them in their own little bubble.. I am very familiar with social bubble of the Castro in SF,, I hear it has since been gentrified.
I can only assume that Hispanic males were wifully death to the anti Hispanic rantings of Trump, and the same with the Gen X,Y and Z males who voted for racist Trump.
And there is another group of dumb asses who actually tipped the scales in the swing states of WI, MI, and PA
Trump's pro-Israel Cabinet Picks Upset Muslims Who Voted for Him
'Trump won because of us,' said one of the founders of Muslims for Trump, 'and we're not happy with his Secretary of State pick and others'
Crazy isn't it. Muslims are included in that round up he has planned.
Trump moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and Israel followed moving the capitol from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Trump already told Bibi has a blank check to do what he needs to do. Trumps most active MAGAt constituency are evangelicals and they are rabid zionists, for all the wrong reasons. Yet because Biden supported Israel's fight with murdering raping terrorists of HAMAS, theUmmah is upset and Trump visited a halal delicatesen and met with a couple of Imams who endorsed him and the rest of the Ummah in America voted for Trump or didn't vote at all,I suspect voted for Trump.
And now they are going to reap the reward for their fecklessness.
As with all religions, loyalty to religion and the community of believers above all else, including common sense and critical thinking.
I heard some Muslim spokespersons say on MSNBC that they are going to vote for Trump, or not vote, regardless of the consequences. Now they will find out.
Trump may no end 1 ton bombs, and Israel doesn't need them anymore, anyway, but he is not going to intercede and mediate either.
The only thing he cares about is Saudi money and Saudi oil.
And the only thing the Saudi's care about is money and survival.
Everyone in the country is dependent on that black stuff that flows from the pipes in the south of the country, attended to by Shia Arabs and foreign workers.
Picture this, You are a Ukrainian in a trench facing Russians, the Russians are rushing at you with fixed bayonets and grenades, and half of your comrades lay down their arms because they are pissed sore at the Company Commander the the Senior NCO's.
I do as well, but the image was a simile. I only updated it from trenches of WWI, by using Ukraine as an example of what ti is like to defend yourself when half your forces are cowards, surrender monkey's, and petulant whiny little bastards.
NY (Com)Post keeps referring to Drumpf’s “landslide” victory. Inundation with constant drilling of MSM falsehoods means we need to battle back twice as hard, but we need more progressive media to counter the effects. It also means calling out every lie we read and hear and we need to support journalists who will do it.
This makes me sad. Tim is a leader for the 21st century Democratic Party. Calvert is a corrupt hack. Why any voter would make that choice is baffling; the magic of an R beside his name, I suppose....
On point and kudos for your analysis. The 4th estate of democracy the media has failed the American public abysmally a surprise to no one with an IQ over 10. Weather sane washing the felon or what if non sense giving this basket case a free pass at every turn was no doubt a factor. Another big factor American by and large are woefully under informed and informed and revel in their ignorance. Literacy matters and so do critical thinking skills. Which is why Trumplicans hate facts and context. Anyhoo before I put other commenters to sleep with venting. Make no mistake. Hate and bigotry were huge items on the buffet of insanity being served to voters this election. Hate one. Eggs and gas were the cover that bigots and the low info used as their excuse card

“the normal gay guy vote” = "SASA, no fats no fems"

Michael, I feel like you’re my brother. I love you so much and your guests. We are in this together. To all your followers, let’s do this! 🇺🇸⚖️🏳️🌈💪🏻
I don’t get it, I just don’t get it. I’m with Old Dad.
While I am happy (mostly) about these stats, the fact that LGBT groups gave the Orange Menace 14% of their votes is shocking!

Sure she appreciated it. More gold embossed TP for the gold WH toilet bowls.

True about Thiel
They trusted a life-long conman. They will get what they voted for.
I totally agree, Alas I and you are being dragged along by our hair and heels.
After a Muslim ban he imposed, there’s a group called “Muslims for Trump.”
🧐😩😫

The fact there’s no common sense and no critical thinking among them says it all William.

So sorry for Ukraine.

Really? Then why did the best candidate for CA 41, Tim Rollins, lose TWICE to Ken Calvert, the most corrupt member of the House?
Will Rollins?
Yes! Will Rollins. Couldn't see to type with all the tears in my eyes,
Agree with you-Will was a great candidate and deserved to win. So disappointing. Hopefully he will continue the fight and run again.
This makes me sad. Tim is a leader for the 21st century Democratic Party. Calvert is a corrupt hack. Why any voter would make that choice is baffling; the magic of an R beside his name, I suppose....
In a couple Generations you won't exist
