I’m reading that, while still low compared to other generations, zoomer turnout was the second highest for a midterm in the last 30 years. And they broke for Dems by 28 points, a couple of points higher than in '20. The kids are a real problem for the GOP, which naturally causes them to talk about suppressing the turnout instead of appealing to them via policies. ---

I live near Christiansburgh, VA, a small town in the southwest part of Virginia. I do Grubhub and DoorDash in the area, and several times in the past couple of months had passed a store on Main St, white building with red stripes. Wondered what it was until about a week ago and saw that it was The Trump Store. Looking forward to seeing a “Going of Out Business” sign soon. Although now that I think about it, sales will probably go up. ---

Trump thinks Tuesday’s election was an unprecedented success for HIM.

Aw, but coming up with policies that appeal to the yutes without either offending the prejudices of the Talibornagains or increasing taxes on the plutocrats is too much like _work_… > [@Pardel-Lux](#): > > My schadenfreude is swelling up reading those “Truths”. 😁 My favorite is his complaint that the “electron” was stolen from Blake Masters. ---

Yes, thank you, I know this. I was trying to understand “wanna bet,” which appears to be a pun but first made no sense to me except as possible anti-semitic snark.
