Not doubting you, but do you have a link?

Color me shocked

This episode has made me very disappointed with the current administration, but this needs to be posted for plenty of the bad-faith arguing going on.

I get the frustration...I definitely am too. Pretty disgusted here. But what an utterly odd statement unless you stopped watching the news starting in 2017

Plz die. Love, Hugh

Cmonnnnn. This is vintage @Statorama Palin-shtick. You either are his alias, or more likely, you owe him lots of royalties.

I think you also need to take into account that there is not an insignificant amount of folks in your community who literally can’t take the vaccine or have health conditions where the vaccine doesn’t work. I know of several. They are scared, depressed. Imagine having to depend upon the kindness of people in your community and all you read are myopic views. It sucks.

I know there are plenty of legitimate Americans who bask in this stuff and post away. But I remain convinced that some of the more insane, directly contentious, and persistent takes are foreign actors stoking fires here. Again, plenty of people eating it up, but I'd bet there will be tons to come out about how much subversion there was from China/Russia at some point in time. Its practically risk free for them at the moment as there is no teeth in retaliation nor much defense.

I'd read this. And I'd submit to you for your rankings Olympic Power Walking

I think its time to come clean if you were Palin-era Statorama. Seriously, the shtick is so similar...and legit funny. ETA: This is not an insult, Mod team! Please no banningz

Sure, here is his quote: Carlson also said “the only people who wear masks outside are zealots and neurotics” and said seeing a vaccinated person wear a mask outdoors was like “watching a grown man expose himself in public”. “Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beat a kid in Walmart,” he said. “Call the police immediately, contact child protective services. Keep calling until someone arrives. What you’re looking at is abuse, it’s child abuse and you are morally obligated to attempt to prevent it.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/27/tucker-carlson-fox-news-masks-biden-cdc

Tucker urged his viewers back in the spring to publicly chastise people wearing masks and to call CPS or other authorities if they were to see kids wearing masks. He’s an outspoken public figure. He deserves every last bit of it

Your point is definitely well taken. One reason I (personally) really want Biden to get above in Georgia as compared to PA is that the Georgia state apparatus is almost all GOP right? To take the wind out the sails of a lot of the conspiracy stuff that will no doubt carry forward I'd love to have the Georgia GOP-run fact in the back pocket.

Any data or insight you'd like to share on PA, please?

Oh, I'm close enough in a very red (65%) county. I see the many many Trump flags...the home-made signs....the pickups with trailer-hitch nutz with attached Trump flags...the Facebook posts in our neighborhood news pages...the occasional confederate flag.... They haunt me. I wake up in a sweat often.
