Donald Trump - MAGAtwat news and discussion

I think you are worrying too much, mate.

We've had lots of newbies sign-up recently, it seems because of something happening over on the AV forums, I think we should give them some time to bed in.

I've seen too many aggressive replies to them, because of the general paranoia around here surrounding newbies being banned returnees, I personally welcome these newbies.

I admire your optimism and warm hearted welcome.
 
Meanwhile, Trump's niece lobs in another warning. As if any of Trump's women supporters will read it or care.

While they probably won't read Mary Trump's warning, I think the issue could make a difference - Kansas voted for Trump over Biden by 56% to 42% in 2020, but abortion rights won 59% to 41% in a referendum in the state two years later

Not sure what the "av forum" is but i had noticed lots of newbies in the last week or so but this might explain it. I guess someone may have posted on there about us if they are closing down.

Or maybe they are all firky :hmm: :hmm:

Had a look, it's (at first glance) not dissimilar from urban. Some topics are the same.

Dunno what the politics are.
 
For years centrists and elite liberals banished the words ‘working class’ preferring their meritocratic phrases of ‘working people’ or the feeble ‘underrepresented groups’. Class was dead. Competing identify groups were the future.

The populist right have no such qualms. They also have no qualms in honestly calling out the consequences of deindustrialisation or pointing out who dies in illegal wars.

There is a massive lesson for our side here. We better learn it quickly…

JD Vance: I will fight for America’s forgotten heartlands


Didn't Biden make his whole campaign in 2020 about being Rust Belt Joe, voice of the forgotten working class?

At each stop, he sought to characterise November’s presidential race with Donald Trump as a battle between the middle class and the elite, and himself as a friend of the working class.

"I’ve dealt with guys like Trump my whole life: guys who look down on us because they’ve got a lot of money, guys who think they’re better than you, guys who might let you park their car in the country club they own but won’t let you in.

“I see the world from where I grew up in Scranton,” he added.



This speech was in May, I'm not sure he ever goes for long without mentioning Scranton

Let me close — let me close with this. I come from Scranton, a town like a lot of working-class, middle-class neighborhoods all across America — like Racine, Wisconsin, which I visited last week. Once a manufacturing boomtown until trickle-down economics came along, and the middle class in Racine got hollowed out.

1. Biden isn’t on my side. Or those of my class.

2. Biden did run as ‘rust belt Joe’ (despite being a Washington insider and key member of the elite for 60 years). Why? As a corrective to Hilary Clinton’s disastrous campaign against Trump four years earlier which described people in those places as a part of ‘a basket of deplorables’.

3. Biden is not running as the voice of the rust belt in 2024, for the obvious reason that it’s simply not credible to do so.
