Drag Queen Mike Collins

Closet Queen Buddy Carter

Transvestites Buddy Carter and Mike Collins are two of three Georgia Republicans running against each other in the primaries in the hopes of unseating Democrat Sen. Jon Ossoff, a vocal LGBTQ+ ally. Voters will go to the polls on 19 May to decide which hypocrite will run against him.

Without hypocrisy and imbecilic voters supporting them, the Republican Party would not survive as a viable political organization in most Western democracies and would be considered a fringe party.


#9 onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut displays his/her/their complete US political ignorance by actually asking (about yesterday's Wisconsin SC vote): "This matters why?"

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin

I've been covering Wisconsin politics for several decades now, and have (at times) been deeply involved in the state's Supreme Court races. For much of that time, conservatives dominated those races and built a formidable majority on the state's High Court.

So, believe me when I tell you that this is a BFD. "Liberal Chris Taylor cruises to Wisconsin Supreme Court win."


Not only have progressives flipped the script on the court races, they have also piled up huge margins in a state that is usually on the razor's edge. Taylor won more than 60% of the vote in a state that Trump won in 2024. Liberals now have a 5-2 majority on the court. Taylor's win means liberals will control the state Supreme Court until at least 2030.

Digging down a bit, the demographic shifts carry ominous signs for Republicans. Nate Cohn writes: "Liberal candidates have fared well in Wisconsin Supreme Court elections in recent years, but Chris Taylor's victory tonight was even bigger. She swept many reliably Republican working class areas " and might even crack the traditionally conservative suburban counties around Milwaukee." Democrats are also noting that 12 counties that went red in 2025's election swung blue last night.

As we've seen elsewhere, the Latino vote seems to have shifted to the left, while the liberal candidate won former GOP strongholds like Ozaukee County (where I live).

So, as usual, onepigironheadedsmoothbrainaut is left with ...

#57 C0RI0LANUS again ignores American political reality with his misdirected comment: "On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, the incumbent Democratic Party lost 6,265,888 voters they had on Tuesday 3 Nov 2020."

Yeah?

And why is that?

Here we go again...

Throughout the month of October, 2024, the Trump campaign (and associated entities) spent $300,000,000.00 on ads in all 7 swing states during televised NFL and NCAA football games. The topic of all of those ads? Then-CA Attorney General Kamala Harris' 2019 response to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming (read: trans) care for federal inmates

And the amount of money the Harris campaign spent countering those She's for They/Them ads in the swing states during NFL and NCAA football games? You know, to point out the truth that she was simply responding to a question about a Trump administration dictate on gender-affirming for federal inmates? To counter the deceptive, the lying-by-omission ads run by Trump & company?

Zero dollars

The efficacy of this strategy was born out election night, 2024, when Steve Kornacki was calling individual counties (starting with Pennsylvania) and highlighting that the Harris/Walz ticket was falling short of votes as opposed to the votes in the 2020 election for the Biden/Harris ticket. His reporting was, in effect, a death by 1,000 cuts for Harris/Walz.

Trump & company knew that all it would take would be the suppression of Biden votes in 2024 by just a point or two for Trump to carry those counties, all 7 swing states and, ultimately, the election. They judged, correctly, that men - men of color and white - would be turned off enough by the "pro-trans" Harris that they voted for Trump, or didn't vote at all.

Either way, mission accomplished.

Show anything that comes close to that when it comes to the votes in 2024, C0RI0LANUS...

... other than your attempt at playing Casiodorus in a play where you take credit for something to which you are not entitled.
