I mean, as much as we, the relatively young and hyperaware, bag on Biden for being old and out of touch, being old and out of touch can most definitely be a strength with other people who are old and out of touch, especially when the old and out of touch vote at a much greater clip than our age group. And, as much as we think the old and out of touch are set in their ways and are irredeemable Trumpkins, thatās the thing with being out of touch: you can also have soft support that moves irrationally more than we appreciate. Biden doesnāt have to win all the old white people. Just a few percent turns the election from a nailbiter to a landslide. Iām pretty sure most people here remember the āWeāre voting for the [n-word]ā anecdote from 538 in 2008. Surely those are the sorts of people who would vote for Trump when times are good, but as was said in that blog post, racism is a luxury good.

I would seriously love to ask the people with plunging satisfaction levels what the fuck they thought was going to happen if a crisis hit with Trump at the helm. I honestly donāt know the answer.

Iāve always thought the obvious play was to be so thrown off balance by his power that your forehead smashes into his nose.
No comma after āsureā is tilting me.

Donald Trump is both lying and grossly incompetent.

Good post. And his is probably the biggest audience that has ever seen Noam Chomsky.
Wasnāt it NY who was investigating the NRA? Iām going with a longshot and saying tomorrow itās something with the NRA being wholly owned and operated by Russia.

Yeah, we also discussed tumbling into him a doing a crazy pratfall, dragging him down with me Iām an effort to grab onto anything to keep myself upright.
As itās more relevant here than the Chapo thread, the Ezra Klein Show this week has an interesting discussion with two political scientists about the tension between plutocratic and populist/white identity conservatism and how the dynamic operates.

Trumpās new campaign manager really killing it. Their latest ad includes a bunch of edited images of Biden and has people crying anti religious bigotry.
Having an ad that makes Biden the persecuted Christian is quite the accomplishment.
That is how they finally caught the Golden State Killer after decades. They were able to match dns from a crime scene to data they got from ancestry sites and got a familial match. Then all they had to do was determine which related person was the suspect.
