    Global warming likely won’t kill us all. Lots of people? Probably.
    Everything isn’t racist, just the racist stuff is racist.

    Tell that to the party that literally attempted an insurrection because their reality show host daddy lost the election and spent 3 months crying about it.

    If one wants to asses this claim, they could break voting patterns down to look at the various demographics that vote for each side.

    For the most part, Republicans always get the majority of the white vote. They always get the majority of the male vote. They usually win the higher income quintiles. I could go on but this is enough to suffice.

    Conversely, Democrats win the black vote. They alwasy get the majority of the female vote. They always win the lowest income quintiles by huge margins.

    With the above being undeniably true, what is it about whites, males and higher income quintiles that you perceive as angry? What is it aboutBlacks,females and the poor that you see as content?

    I truly do not follow your central premise here. On what basis are you claiming that Happy constituents do not vote Conservative? Who told you such abject nonsense?

    Didn’t say happy people only vote Dem, just that angry and scared people vote GOP.

    White males are an easy explainer. If you fear monger over things like the border and the nefarious brown foreigner, you’ve made them scared and angry. They will vote for the party that offers to do something about the fear they’ve put in their minds.

    Higher income people know that the GOP is always going to take care of the donor class. They don’t really play into my previous assessment. They’ve got their own motivations which is money.

    The other groups you mentioned, ones most likely to vote Dem, are from more vulnerable portions of society. Dems shave a history of looking out for them.

    This is silly.

    Both sides do plenty of fear-mongering. What do you think BLM is all about? What do you think the abortion panic is all about? Gun control etc. etc. Women damn sure are not more happy than men. Yeesh.

    Higher incomes are the majority of Republican voters. You cant say that happy constitutents dont vote Conservative, but then turn around and say this doesnt apply to higher income people. Higher income people ARE the Conservative voters. From this alone your claim is shot down. It is the lower incomes that vote Democrat, and they do so by HUGE margins in every state in the union.

    The house passed a bill last may and Schumer did nothing with it. If democrats wanted a secure border then they wouldn’t have put a democrat in the Oval Office who intentionally unsecured it after saying he wanted a surge at the border and we can handle two million illegals a year.

    Democrats want open borders so our replacements can flood in. You can say whatever you want, but actions speak louder than words.

    Fake News. The bill doesn't secure the border. Trump knows how to secure the border without the slush fund for Ukraine that Bribed Joe is demanding as a condition, because Ukraine has sent the Biden Crime Family $Millions in bribes.

    Voters aren't going for Bribed Joe's blackmail that he won't close the border without the Ukraine Slush fund. It is really a sick twisted con that "I won't secure the border if you don't give me another near $100B to fund the bloody stalemate in Ukraine.'

    Voters know better than to trust Bribed Blackmailing Joe. After he extorts us for the money for Ukraine, he'll find another reason not to close the border because he thinks all those illegal hordes are going to vote for Dems.

    Trump, on the other hand, will immediately re-secure the border without being bribed with another slushfund for Ukraine.

    Bribed Joe puts Ukrainians first.
    Trump puts Americans first.

    I wish they would do less. What they do is expensive.

    Fake news.
    The Republicans don't want to solve any issues at the border. They didn't when the Orange Stain was in office and they had both houses of Congress.
    They want an issue they can blame on their opposition since they have so utterly failed to do anything useful in the last 6 administrations.
    They can't even keep a Speaker in the House.

    Republicans want open borders so they can blame the Democrats for something and yet still hire illegals at less than minimum wage.

    Here is the border security bill the house passed last May. Why won't Schumer bring it to a vote? Oh, it's because democrats want open borders. PERIOD!

    Why should he bring it to a vote ? It's a punitive rightie wish list.

    What, when Moscow Mitch refused to allow floor votes in the Senate all was puppy-dogs and rainbows for the Republicans. And you cheered for it. Guess that
    was a bad decision, eh ?

    Investigation into Biden releasing a terrorist that killed 13 Americans and 176 civilians should be an automatic every time it happens. Biden aiding and abetting our enemies by supplying them with sophisticated equipment should be an automatic every time it happens.Biden hiding classified documents in his basement should be an automatic every time it happens. The very fact young fighters have illegally invaded our country due to Biden should be an automatic every time it happens.
