No, I hadn’t heard anything about it. Cernovich might have a bit of a point if what he said is accurate.
Lol, it’s publicly available data. Cernovich doesn’t have shit, Slacker.
I’m just saying, it looks like cherrypicking.
Of course it’s cherry picking, but Castro isn’t writing a thesis, he’s showing who supports Trump.
But, for this thread, it’s not Castro’s framing of this issue which matters, it’s the Republican reaction to such a heretofore benign revelation.
1783-2016: Oh, the billionaire owner of a regional restaurant chain in Texas supports the conservative/republican nominee for President? And… so?
2019: How dare you reveal that the billionaire owner of a regional restaurant chain in Texas supports the conservative/republican nominee for President!
In a thread asking the question “will DJT win in 2020”, this negative reaction to being publicly identified as a Trump supporter is very telling for this topic.
They’ll act like you just farted in their car, but they’ll still give Trump money and vote for him.
I truly do not understand the national outrage. This is basically public information. What is the basis for the outrage?
But as a local, I find it very interesting. I’m definitely giving up Bill Miller Barbecue. Are you going to keep eating there, JohnT.
The basis is they are embarrassed at being Trump supporters. That’s it.
Also, never could stand Bill Millers. My tweet about this issue this morning sums up my feelings perfectly:
Is there any moderately to very successful business whose owners do NOT support Republicans? I would guess that most of them either donate to Republicans or to both parties.
Well, that’s not quite “it”. I doubt they would be terribly bothered by just the first sentence. It’s the part about “fueling a campaign of hate” that presumably has them up in arms. Not that it’s an invalid accusation, mind you; but I’m just sayin’.
I have no doubt that is true. The Bush era delivered a complete shit show of an economy to Obama. And Trump is going to deliver an even worse economy to whoever has to clean up after him in 2020. And OF COURSE the Republicans will once again blame the person who inherited their ineptitude. It’s what they do.
I think all those wealthy businessmen, in Texas and elsewhere, just don’t want to be the targets of boycotts.
I agree with Euphonious Polemic. I live in Indiana and it will go for Trump. Too many Hoosiers are fundamentalists who will vote against the baby-killing Democrats and for prayer to be put back in school.
This is also a rural state and too many will vote for Trump because they think he is going to reverse the decline of much of rural America.
Others in southwestern Indiana will vote for him because they think he is going to restore the coal industry.
The only way I see the Hoosier State going blue is if the economy is as bad as it was 2008. While I am confident the GOP is going to take the economy, that may take a couple of years.
You know those you are labeling fascists aren’t. If they were there wouldn’t be an election in 2020 that was meaningful.
I don’t think the Democrats have a chance to win Indiana, and although that would be nice, I don’t think they must. I think they have to win Wisconsin. If Wisconsin goes Trump again, I think the results could be just like last time. IE The majority of voters going against Trump, but Trump eeking out electoral votes.
I’ll certainly be eeking if he does.
Your side knows that labeling my side “Socialists” is also false. Deal.
Pennsylvania Poll just released:
Page 7:
Hey, when major politicians on the left call themselves socialists we shouldn’t take them at their word?
When Texas Republicans freak out about the public finding out they support the Republican President, perhaps we can just assume that while they don’t want to self-identify as fascists, they are well aware that other people will do so for them if their support is highlighted.
Just a theory. Right?
But I’m still trying to figure out why one of the major political parties is having a meltdown when it realizes that anyone can be identified as having financially supported the party leader. Makes ya’ wonder.
Democratic Socialist != Communist Russia of Stalin or Venezuela
Your side knows that, and lies willfully about it.
