In case you had any doubts about his fascism.

    I’m really worried about the future of the country. I live in deep red Louisiana and all of my family and friends are hardcore Trumpers so I can’t discuss any of my concerns. My vote won’t matter so all I can do is hold out hope that Harris/Walz can take the swing states.

      I am surprised that you are still in contact or friends with any hardcore trumpers. Those are toxic people.

      Stay strong.

        I’ll be doing that for sure — I’ve got a bunch of highly competitive local races that I care about.

            Gotta wonder if his name being “Allred” will confuse any MAGAts who otherwise wouldn’t into voting for him. Like “We need to vote all red to help Dear Leader as much as we can. Ah, here it is, Allred”. Like, the number isn’t likely to be high, but seems like something that would have a decent probability of happening a nonzero number of times.

              Considering there was a trans woman who got elected as a county sheriff in New Hampshire a few years ago while running a “defund the police” campaign because she was the only one to run as a Republican candidate and nobody bothered to do their homework before voting for every R on the ballot, I’d say chances are pretty good.

              Something of the opposite for Rafael “Ted” Cruz sounding like a Latino Dem, while Collin Allred sounds like an Irish Republican.

      Yeah, those of us living outside swing states are basically limited to kicking in money and volunteer time. I’m lucky in that I was able to catch a bus to a swing state this past weekend, and spend a couple days knocking on doors.
