It appears that in each area where those Labour folk were on holiday and not working, the Democrats lost quite a lot of votes.

"Arizona" isn't extreme, no. We have certainly had some extreme politicians over the years though (Sheriff Joe Arpaio, anyone?).Or a raped and impregnated child. My admiration for Jacob Rees Mogg twindled after he admitted that he thinks such victims should have to carry the baby full term. Is Arizona that extreme?
Great contribution as alwaysOnly an observation guv.
If anything it vindicates in any allegations earlier in this thread that the overseas visitors might be interfering.Great contribution as always
I'm not sure I could tell you what the mood is like. I'm not an overtly political animal - I enjoy the drama of election night (in both the UK and the US) but I have little interest in following political media most of the time. I have a good friend who leans very heavily Democrat, who has been out canvassing recently, and I'm sure she'll be pretty devastated. I would guess most of my friend group would vote Democrat but I don't seek out political conversation.What's the mood like in AZ @AZ Gull. Looks like Trump is circa 6% up on voting.
Particularly as Melania isn't included.The family photo of the Trump 'dynasty' including Elon Musk is a bit worrying

This is interesting in the land of the free where freedom and speech and expression are so valued. (allegedly anyway).I could have moved to Texas in 2007 ( UK operation shutdown) but fortunately didn’t. Of those that did go a lot of them are involved ( if FB is anything to go by) to one level or another in various churches.
Speaking to one chap who lives in another part of the US, he says that in the mid west and southern states if you want to have any ‘life’ you need to join a church. It’s greatly frowned upon not to be in a church. You can be ostracised for such a crime.
As an atheist, I dodged a bullet …..
The numbers of senators and representatives can be changed - the senate can be flooded with republicans straight from the Proud Boys given time, and Trump also knows how to buy/forcefully acquire votes.There absolutely will not be Democrats (and you'd need about 35% of them) voting to amend the Constitution to allow 3 term Presidencies to enable Trump, no. Obviously not.
For the avoidance of doubt, you cannot amend the Constitution with a majority, and the GOP have nothing close to the required senators/representatives to get such an amendment moving. They'd need a huge number of Dem senators/representatives to vote for it for an amendment to even get to the first stage of recommendatition
The Framers designed the constitution specifically to safeguard against the ‘yet’. That’s quite literally the whole point. Let’s revisit this in 4 yearsThe numbers of senators and representatives can be changed - the senate can be flooded with republicans straight from the Proud Boys given time, and Trump also knows how to buy/forcefully acquire votes.
I admire your complacency, but you insist on living in the world as it is now (and ever shall be). Not long ago, it would have been considered impossible for a dangerous convicted criminal to become POTUS.
You seem to been in ignorance - or avoiding - the significance of the little word 'yet' - for instance,
"For the avoidance of doubt, you cannot amend the Constitution...YET, or
"the GOP have nothing close to the required senators/representatives to get such an amendment moving....YET.
So yeh, you're absolutely tight, there's nothing to worry about, nothing can happen.........
...............YET!
And the constitution was framed so perfectly that it all turned out as it was intended? Right-oh, let's hear it for weapons grade repeating rifles on the streets!The Framers designed the constitution specifically to safeguard against the ‘yet’. That’s quite literally the whole point.

The Christo fascists are all coming out of the gutter.
Not sure it will changes much, the majority of Americans no longer value democracy.
This is another example of the stuff 'The Right' say. "remove their right to female-only space and sports by the extreme left"! Yes, lots of people are trying to come to terms with the weird conundrum of what to do about people who want to play women's sport, but were once men and now see themselves as women. This problem is tiny in the grand scheme of the world isn't it? It's not like that are 2 million trans people smashing female Rugby players into the ground. It's an infintesimal problem that nobody needs to be freaking out about. The media and right wing twats just make it out to be some earth-shattering problem.I don't disagree with any of that, and it's those some that need to be kept in check on either side of the political divide. For example, removing women's rights to bodily autonomy by the extreme right, is just as bad as trying to remove their rights to female only spaces and sports by the extreme left.
