  • While I 100% agree, his own surrogates like Peter Navarro are trying to distance themselves from Tony’s set. This means that Trumps team at least thinks this is a problem.

    Additionally, I don’t think there exists a realistic single event that will cause Trump supporters to leave in droves, but there are hundreds of thousands of Americans with Puerto Rican heritage between Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Maybe this encourages 10% of them to go vote if they were originally planning to sit this one out. 50k more votes for Harris would likely make the difference.



  • Aggregating some information in this comment based on what I’ve read throughout the internet.

    1. Authorities have identified the vehicle of the one in Oregon (and likely Washington) and probably know who’s behind it at this point. AP News
    2. Authorities have arrested the person responsible for the ballot fires in Phoenix ABC Phoenix
    3. There was a conversation on Truth Social from a user named Elwoodblues50 that suggested doing just this. I have no idea how coordinated it was, but it definitely sounds like something that has been going around right wing circles for a bit. sorry Reddit link
    4. These ballot boxes have measures to protect the ballots in the case of fire. One of the ballot boxes had up to 100 ballots destroyed, the others were in the single digits.
    5. Oregon and Washington both have websites that allow you to check the status of your ballot. If you know anyone in who may have been impacted by this, have them check the websites and request a new ballot if theirs wasn’t accepted. Oregon. Washington

    This was created by a bot, who got it from a Reddit post that was also created by a bot. So I don’t really know who I’m trying to respond to here…

    But people, have some self reflection here. If anyone is so paranoid about toxicity that they feel the need to make a guide like this, then the toxic one may be them.

    People are people. Everyone probably displays hints of these traits at times depending on how their day was, or something that’s been hiding beneath the surface. But it’s more nuanced and I can’t say I’ve ever met a single (consequential) person in my life that I would define by any of these categories.




  • My thoughts exactly. 4 years of a democratic president (and Joe Manchin + Kyrsten Sinema being sticks in the mud) got the blue line to where it is now. That doesn’t mean it stays there forever. Another 4 years of a democratic executive and legislative branch will get us much closer to that yellow line.

    We have to keep pushing forward and prevent the country from doing significant environmental backsliding like it did in 2016-2020.
