Amy Hamm: J.D. Vance, salt of the earth - "Vance resembles other rising American political stars and commentators (Matt Walsh, anyone?). Canada, too, has seen a spate of young, white and conservative men — “nuclear family” archetypes — growing wildly popular in the past two years. Pierre Poilievre, with his young family, fits the bill, as does the west coast’s Aaron Gunn, the ex-military (viral) filmmaker turned BC Conservative candidate who, like Vance, possesses the forbidden appeal of all that is not a thinly-veiled diversity, equity, and inclusion candidate... Amidst the ruthless memes about Kamala Harris’ admittedly common, bewildering word salad diatribes — “Kamala Harris dumbest quotes” is an actual TikTok genre — you have Vance, referred to as an intellectual even by the critics who are simultaneously suggesting he is an illiberal authoritarian. Vance’s ethics could use an examination under the microscope, but his competence, at least, is visible to the naked eye of Republicans and Democrats alike... Whether Vance is the “New Right,” the right guy, or simply the right guy at the right time, the public — clearly — is all about the unrepentant revival of the prototypical, salt-of-the-earth family values candidate. And Trump knows that."
Renson Seow | Facebook - "That's quite impressive. Moderators for the US Vice Presidential debate lied about not fact checking both sides. Vance immediately put a stop to it and refuted citing evidence without needing to refer to notes. The media ended up being forced to cut his microphone... After watching the debate, I understood why Trump picked Vance. Basically he recognised what he was bad at (making a refined pitch, calm response) and picked someone who could do that, even though Vance was previously anti-Trump."

The left pretends Trump's 'rhetoric' worse than assassination attempt - "Donald Trump’s more deranged critics are so focused on tone and language that they are either dismissing the assassination attempt against him or they are outright blaming him for the attack. As regrettable as the Saturday shooting at the Trump rally was, his critics seem to think, what’s truly disturbing is the “rhetoric” that characterizes the U.S. presidential campaign. And by rhetoric, of course, they don’t mean the Democrats, and their water carriers in the media, constantly painting the former, and possible future, president as a fascist threat to the American republic. You know the kind of argument that might persuade an unstable 20 year-old owner of an AR-15 rifle that to save democracy, Trump can’t simply be defeated at the polls, he must be eliminated. No, Trump’s critics mean his tone, his choice of words, are the real problem. After being shot in the ear, Trump could be heard saying “fight, fight, fight.” To any normal, well adjusted, person, that was a call for his supporters to stick with him in the election campaign. Politicians use fight and war terminology all the time, but when Trump uses such language, and only when Trump uses such language, it is interpreted as a literal call to violence. So, predictably, a pearl-clutching CNN host scolded the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for his choice of words, calling them “odd.” A British journalist similarly called them “depressing.” On Sunday, writing in The Nation, author Sasha Abramsky argued that it would be a “terrible mistake” to “let the narrative take hold that Biden and the Democratic Party are to blame for this event.” Biden asking his supporters to forget about his mental capacity, and to, instead, “put Trump in a bullseye” apparently gets a pass. (Imagine what the reaction from progressives would be if Trump had said those words weeks before an assassination attempt on the current president.) Abramsky doesn’t even bother to address Biden’s comments, instead writing that “Trump’s violent rhetoric ought to be as disqualifying tomorrow as it was yesterday.” So, there must be a long list of statements by Trump where he objectively incited violence, right? Well, not exactly. Among the examples of such “rhetoric” that Abramsky takes issue with, is when during the Black Lives Matter riots, Trump posted on Twitter about possible plans to send in the military to quell the unrest. Abramsky doesn’t offer this context, and just highlights that the tweet included the phrase “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.” So actual violence in the form of rioting and looting should be allowed to unfold unchecked, but Trump’s admittedly careless tweet about sending in the military, “disqualifying.” Another example from Abramsky stretches what could be counted as “violent rhetoric” to the point of ridiculousness. “This is a man who said there were ‘very fine people’ among the neo-Nazi marchers in Charlottesville in 2017,” Abramsky wrote, referring to a news conference Trump gave at the time. Pretending “very fine people” is somehow violent is, at least, less egregious than implying that Trump was calling neo-Nazis “fine people.” In fact, anyone who looked at the transcript would see that “very fine people” was not a reference to neo-Nazis. “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally,” Trump said. But, whatever. Expecting progressive media to accurately report on Trump is a foolish exercise best left to toddlers... Trump’s behaviour shouldn’t be excused, but the Democrats and progressive journalists rarely bother to wonder why so many Americans were willing to believe the fraud story. If they bothered to ask, they might discover that the false claims that Russian “collusion” with Trump led to his election in 2016, bred skepticism and distrust in American institutions. The same could be said about the false claim that the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in the 2020 election was Russian disinformation. As norm breaking and disruptive as Trump was and is, U.S. institutions — Congress, the press, intelligence agencies, the justice department — have all responded to him by debasing what they stand for, by overtly politicizing and twisting their mission. After years of that, it seems pretty obvious why Trump voters might be open to believing the election was stolen, even though it wasn’t. But for progressives, the blame is almost always on the “rhetoric.” They aim to put words on equal footing with actual violence."
Shameful profs were quick to make light of Trump's near-assassination - "Their conduct sends the message that it doesn’t matter whether doctors and lawyers air in public their smug satisfaction that an effort to off the opposition — “fascists” and “dictators” no doubt — almost hit home. It’s a cue to students that such behaviour is normal and broadcastable. Some will argue that professors should be fired, or at least met with some kind of consequence, for appearing to wish for or joke approvingly of violence. Others will argue that their comments shouldn’t be remarked on at all, to prevent online harassment. The best course is somewhere in the middle: sacking academics for poor-taste wisecracking on foreign politics bodes poorly for campus freedom, but observers should be free to rubberneck when filterless grown adults who work there bring embarrassment to their institutions. Article content Academics are supposed to represent the best of Canada’s thinking class; they should behave with professionalism; they shouldn’t have to be told — they should just know. They’re setting an example for the next crop of people running this country, who we will depend upon in future years. I don’t yearn for universities to censor their speech, but I do wish that fewer faculty seats were reserved for the deranged fringe."

Mr. McPherrin acknowledged that it’s legal for people who are blind, disabled, or illiterate to get help from someone in filling out a ballot.

While Kamala or Chuck Schumer doesn’t believe Trump is a fascist, this white liberal does. And s/he is going to have a mental break if Trump wins. Seriously - there will be people in therapy, crying and coping - because they have believed all the nonsense, and are just smart enough not to understand how little they know. One of the many reasons to tone down the hyperbole - just for the mental health of such people. In 2016 I read articles about public schools setting up counseling sessions for middle and high school kids utterly distraught at Trump’s victory. That kind of thing will happen again multiplied many times over. When I said tone down the hyperbole, I was referring to the press convincing people that electing Trump will be the end of the world. The press should chill for the health of its audience. Trump supporters shouldn’t tone down anything. Apparently this wasn’t obvious to some."

Thread by @Tyler_A_Harper on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "I wrote about the question on everyone’s mind: are black men really going to vote for Donald Trump? White Democrats imagine minorities as half-saints, half-superheroes who they team up with to fight fascism. But the pesky truth is many minority men have Trump-ish beliefs.🧵
For almost ten years, liberal politicians and pundits have spotlighted and relentlessly attacked Donald Trump’s open bigotry. And remarkably, these efforts didn’t just fail. They coincided with black and brown Americans moving in ever greater numbers toward the bigot’s party. These trends have been particularly acute among black men, whose support for Democratic presidential candidates has steadily decreased since 2012. Over the last year, polls have suggested Trump could get historic levels of support from black men. That wouldn’t be surprising. Black Democrats often have significantly more conservative views on immigration, gender, abortion and religion than other Dem racial demographics. A Pew poll this summer found black Dem voters were twice as likely as whites to say emphasizing family makes society better off. 64% of Black Dem voters said gender is determined by birth sex compared to 32% of whites. 53% said belief in God is required for morality vs 8% of whites. Another Pew poll found HALF of black men AND women think the government promotes abortion to control the black population. This isn’t just Black men: a recent poll found that 44% of young Hispanic men support Trump, and another found that OVER HALF of Hispanic men support deportations (51%) and building the wall (52%). They’re twice as likely to say Trump helped them personally compared to Biden. And it’s not just culture. Black voters also tend to have views on foreign policy that clash with the Democrats: they’re generally less supportive of sending money to Ukraine and Israel and more supportive of ceasefires. These are also views that don’t mesh well with the Dems.
Is it that surprising that Trump is polling so well with black voters, especially even more conservative black men? However, some political scientists told me that I shouldn’t take polls showing black men supporting Trump too seriously because the sample sizes are too small. They also argued that black discontent with the Democratic Party wasn’t new, neither were polls showing black men moving to the GOP. They felt these warning signs appear every four years, but typically fail to materialize on Election Day. These arguments are not unreasonable. But in my view they also discount the fact that Dems HAVE been bleeding black men for over a decade. And while many polls do sample small numbers of black people—and thus have higher error rates—that doesn’t explain why all the “errors” would be in one direction: to Trump. If we are in a racial realignment, it’s hard to see how Harris’ strategy will win these GOP-curious black men back (even if most black men still vote Dem). No matter how much she promises to expand the border wall, she can’t outflank Trump on conservative culture issues. So what can the Dems do? Black voters are perhaps the most conservative element of the Dem coalition, but they are also among the most progressive on economic issues. The key to winning these voters back is in my view the same as working-class white voters: it’s populism, stupid."
Birmingham church targets black Trump supporters ahead of election day using racial slurs - "New Era Baptist Church, a predominantly-black congregation in the city’s West End neighborhood, put up the sign as election day approaches on November 5, 2024... “Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump you are an ignorant stupid Negro,” the sign currently reads on one side and, “Warning African Americans a vote for Trump will put blacks folks back to picking cotton,” on the other. Jordan is no stranger to displaying inflammatory messages. In 2018, he made national headlines opposing the Church of the Highlands’ decision to establish a campus in Birmingham’s inner city. The church’s sign read, “Black Folks Need to Stay Out of White Churches” on one side and, “White Folks Refused to Be Our Neighbors” on the other. During the 2020 election cycle, the church displayed a message saying, “A black vote for Trump is mental illness,” on one side and, “A white vote for Trump is pure racism,” on the other."
