    Wrong. Some do. I helped defeat some who weren't, and helped replace them with some who did. It was control of a school district with 20,000 students and 1,500+ teachers.
    I supported Biden to get rid of Trump.

    You also supported all of Biden's crazy, bad and radical agendas when you voted for him.

    This shows that conservatives don't have politics they have religion. Anyone daring to disagree with the Dear Leader isn't just an evil heretic, the poor thing must be insane.

    What crazy, bad and radical agendas are those? Can you name and describe just a few?

    He's better than Trump.

    In the race house in Iowa still to be called Miller Meeks (R) won the recount vs Rita Hart (D) by 45 votes. However Rita Hart contested it and in a second recount magically found more votes for herself.

    Miller Meeks leads by 9 votes with 2 counties left to finish reporting. Ritas team says they expect to pick up 9 votes in Jasper County and the other county is pretty much done only netting Rita a single extra vote.

    What happens if it's a tie vote?

    The first recount left Miller Meeks ahead by 45 votes so not sure how they got the first recount wrong. Maybe a third recount is needed?

    Question. As the overall voting numbers were much higher this time, did Biden also see an increase in white women, blacks and Hispanics?

    Nice that you care about about that. I happen to care one hell of a lot more about diversity of thought. For example, nearly 50% of senators are Ivy League graduates. I would like to see that percentage dropped down to around 1%. I would like those career politicians replaced with union leaders, farmers, small business owners, etc.... The people are not being representing, only the elites are. When 50% of our Senators are coming from the same globalist indoctrination mills, they will all tend to support the goals of the globalists.

    This is what is terrifying in the long run. All our politicians and judges are coming from the same feeder network and that feeder network is indoctrinating those people into a worldview that is diametrically opposed to mine. This is how ideologies win without having to worry about the will of the people. It is the long slow boiling of the frog.

    It doesn't take much to make a wave, apparently. The republicans increased their presence in the House a little and are hanging on to the Senate for dear life.

    I''m not really sure that what you want is what you want.
    Jimmy Carter was a farmer, and Conservatives crapped their pants when he was elected.
    AOC was a bartender, and Conservatives froth at the mouth every time her name is mentioned.
    Ayanna Pressley dropped out of school and worked at a Marriott to support her Mom before going into politics and becoming
    a member of Congress. Conservatives hate her.
    John Tester was a rancher in Montana, now a Democrat Senator - Conservative really dislike him.

    Face it - you really don't want diversity - you want HockeyDad clones.

    Miller Meeks has won her house seat in Iowa with a lead of 6 votes. The smallest lead in the entire country.

    I'm glad my vote and my wife's vote helped put another Republican to the house of representatives.

    Every legal vote matters. I'm just 1 person but I helped put Miller ahead for the win. MAGA.

    Yes I do and are you saying you agree that something must be done so we don't have a repeat of this fiasco? If so what do you support then?

    In shear numbers, I would imagine. Trump increased % of those voters.

    Your side losing isn't a fiasco. The election for President wasn't gerrymandered like Republicans have done with the House (and still lost). The elections for Senator, President, and Vice President were as fair as can be given Republican voter suppression and the ability of dark money to influence voters.

    But he lost badly with college-educated voters.

    I don't care about college educated voters because they are not really educated. Just brain washed and most of them believe all of the spoon fed crap CNN, ABC etc tells them.

    In Ames, Iowa years ago college students started a riot just to be stupid and thats exactly what the news headline said. A degree does not make you smarter. Many people without degrees are smart like Iowa Farmers who feed America.

    Trump won more of the minority vote than any other Republican president since 1960. That is historic.

    They're rapidly becoming a majority of voters.
    :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:
    There is a rising tide of quite liberal young adults. The homophobia, racism, and sexism of older folks is more than a turn-off--they don't have time for that stuff and can't relate to people who do.

    How do I know? I taught high school students and adults for decades.

    I don't believe that anyone wants diversity. Everyone wants people who think like they do. It's fine if they are Chinese, gay, black, etc., so long as they share one's ideology.

    Same with the phrase "Get Out and Vote!" Who really wants that? Be honest. No liberal, green, or socialist, really wants people like me to get out and vote.

    College educated? I'd like to see a voting breakdown of those "college educated" voters by discipline: engineers do not think like Africana Studies majors, thank god.

    And you're flirting there with the very "deplorables" snobbery that contributed to HRC's loss ( a mistake that her husband Bill would NEVER have made.)

    Are you sure you want to go there?

    You don't "know." You are possibly correct, but for how long?

    After Nixon, the pundits thought Republicans and conservatives were toast forever. Then came Reagan, Bush, and Bush. Then we had Obama and Republicans were supposedly finished again. Until Trump. I wouldn't assume that young and currently liberal voters will remain that way.

    I can see Biden becoming incapacitated in his first term, and then Kamala Harris ascending, inappropriately giggling too much, and then getting beaten by someone like Dan Crenshaw. Calling a wounded Navy Seal a racist won't work.

    Christie, Romney, I, and several other prominent Republicans dare to disagree with Trump. No one think they/we are evil, heretical or insane. So just what exactly are you talking about?

    I referred to them as liberals--social liberals in this instance--not Democrats. Parties will adjust their policies to accommodate new voters' values. For this reason, I think Trump is unlikely to get a second chance in 2024.

    For years, the GOP has gradually been getting a bigger share of the minority vote and the Dems have been gradually getting a bigger share of the white vote.

    Yes, both parties saw a stronger turnout from all demographics. Biden got a lower share of the female, black and Hispanic vote than in 2016, but more of the white vote. White women shifted slightly toward Trump since 2016, but not as much as white men shifted away from Trump and towards the Dems.
