Assuming trend continues, noting large swings to Trump in big cities, Dem strongholds, he’s saying something along the lines of that the results indicate class has replaced race as the big dividing line, and Trump is assembling a multi ethnic working class coalition.

New Jersey case in point. 16 point margin for Dems in 2020, reduced to 6 points now.

"Arizona border-security bill seems bound to pass
By Cameron Arcand
PHOENIX — Arizona’s Secure the Border Act is leading by a significant margin.

The ballot initiative is leading with more than 61% support.

Proposition 314 will give local and state law enforcement the ability to arrest those witnessed crossing or suspected to have crossed the United States-Mexico border illegally by making illegal crossing a state crime.

The Republican-majority state Legislature put the prop on the ballot in hopes of combating the border crisis after Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would've done the same thing in March.

Arizona dealt with more than half a million migrant encounters in fiscal year 2024 and hundreds of thousands more in the years prior.

Grand Canyon State voters frequently ranked border security and immigration a top issue this election, along with the economy. "

California passes strong on crime proposition:

"Californians overwhelmingly pass anti-crime Proposition 36
By Steven Nelson
California voters approved by a massive margin a ballot measure to more harshly punish certain crimes — with the initiative garnering a whopping 70.6% support with nearly 7.5 million ballots counted.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom strongly opposed the measure, saying that "Prop 36 takes us back to the 1980s, mass incarceration — it promotes a promise that can't be delivered."

Prop 36 authorizes felony charges for possession of drugs including fentanyl and for thefts under $950 if the offender has two prior drug or theft convictions, according to the official summary of its provisions.

"Defendants who plead guilty to felony drug possession and complete treatment can have charges dismissed" through the creation of a new category of crime called "treatment-mandated felony," according to the measure's summary,"

Wisconsin changes a word, changes an implied meaning

"Wisconsin noncitizen-voting amendment passes in a landslide
By Amy Sikma
PEWAUKEE, Wis. — In a surprising outcome, a GOP-supported referendum on the Wisconsin ballot won by a landslide, the first statewide race to be called Tuesday night.

With 81% of the vote in, the referendum was approved by 71.1%.

The amendment changes one word in the Wisconsin Constitution, from "Every United States citizen age 18 or older who is a resident of an election district in this state is a qualified elector of that district" to "Only a United States citizen age 18 or older. . ."

“We are often told how divided we are in the United States, these days. On Tuesday, Republicans, Independents, and Democrats came together in overwhelming numbers to declare that only citizens should be able to vote in Wisconsin elections," Will Martin, Americans for Citizen Voting's Wisconsin state director for the efforts to pass the amendment, told The Post.

Critics of the amendment argued Wisconsin law already prohibited noncitizens from voting. "

Congratulations Burleigh. You were right and i was way wrong.
But before you go celebrating too hard, take a good look at the map of the USA and the red states, and the demographic of people that make them up, and then take a look at the Blue states, and the relatively normal and civilized people that live in them. Those redneck bible belt states and bros n ho's.....they're your people. That's your crowd.
I think i'd rather lose with the sane than ever be aligned with that kind of majority.

Southern, I'm not particularly thrilled with Trump winning but your statement above leaves me even less thrilled. Earlier I posted a comment how recently I had a very pleasant exchange with an 18 year old, educated, informed and intelligent woman of colour from Alabama who just happened to vote for Trump in step with her friends.

The very same type of person you'd go into bat for any day of the week by virtue of she being who she is. She ain't no 'ho either.

Those broad brush statements probably have something to do with why Kamala lost.

Sick, sick and more sick.

All who voted for him are just like him then.

I’d love to know how many people and of what gender voted for Trump purely because they didn’t want a female president.

McDonaldisation of the world just keeps on rolling on. Fucking kidding me. How backwards is that joint ?
