If you think Trump's bad polling doesn't matter, I hope you reconsider after tonight's elections. Maybe his unpopularity doesn't affect *his* behavior, but it definitely impacts tons of other people—including many GOP voters who are either switching sides or staying home.

It's vile to kill people with no actual legal justification and also vile to joke about killing those people.
Trump: "The problem is nobody wants to go fishing anymore. They don't want to get in boats. They don't want anything to do with boats. I think we've destroyed the boat market. Other than that it's been very effective."

I feel this same dilemma.
From a strategic standpoint, it may be beneficial for Trump to be wholly unaware of how much people hate him.

From a personal standpoint, by god do I want this stupid motherfucker to know exactly how much we fucking hate him.

the fact that his unpopularity - which he seems genuinely unaware of - is not affecting his behavior is going to make things worse for the GOP, too

there will be no course correction, this is their reality now, and it’s probably going to get worse from here

ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
“ICE Was Here”: Pope Leo-Inspired Nativity Scene Sparks MAGA Outrage
A Nativity scene missing Jesus — and marked with an “ICE was here” sign — has triggered cries of “politicizing Christmas.” The parish priest says he’s answering Pope Leo's call to welcome stranger.

WHAT
MATTERS
IS
WINNING
What's important though is winning, and Brad is 90% of an SIO for free. We need all the people we can get for NY-07 and the half dozen or more assembly races we're running.

If we're not willing to run someone with the raw political talent as Chi Ossé against someone as hostile to our movement as Hakeem Jeffries, then why the hell would we play spoiler for Dan Goldman against an ally like Brad Lander? It makes no sense. Fold on this hand and focus on NY-7.

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.

But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.
