Biden won 7 million more votes than Trump in 2020
Did you expect 3 indictments and a court ruling Trump a sexual assaulter to shift any of that in Trump's favor?
If republicans insanely nominate orange clown [BLEEP] again, he's gonna lose and he's gonna lose ugly
You haven't seen poles that show the party breakdowns. Independents are around +20 points for Trump.

Progressives doing what they do best. Going out of their way to be offended. Having grown up in a small town the song hits home.

I really don't get the song. Bad [BLEEP] goes down in small towns. Charlottesville is pretty small.

Then you didn’t “listen” to it, you only heard it.

I don't know if I listened to it or only heard it but my question is what did you get out of it? How do you interpret the message in that song?

Small communities stick together. That is not some nameless person being assaulted, it’s someone you went to HS with. That cashier that had a gun stuck in her face for a measly $50 is Sara, your little sister’s best friend. That store that was just burned to the ground, the one the entire community rely’s on isn’t just another store. The Burke family has owned it for generations and you’ve been going there since you were knee high to a grasshopper. The next closest store of its kind is 20 miles away.
When you see those videos of a tickturd smash a display case, or run out the door with an armful of merchandise, or toss a torch through a store front window it’s not some random act of violence. It’s personal because you know the people directly affected, and when things are personal you act differently.
In the small Kansas town where I grew up, anyone trying that stuff would have been beaten to a bloody pulp and then shot for good measure.

What stuff?
Stop being you for one minute Mike. Read my response to Marty and watch the video again.
Those bastards at the credit union raised the interest rate on one of my cards 3% due to "market conditions". Not a big deal because I typically carry a zero balance on it, but still...those bastards.

I don't dislike small towns. Some people think it's nice when they know the life history of the cashier at the gas station. It's not for me, I mean, I get creeped out when the folks at Taco Bell remember me. So the small town thing is not for me, but I respect it.
I don't think that's really what the song is about, though.
Is Brunswick GA a small town?

What that indicates is you need to start following a better diet.
My husband was born and raised in the county in which we live. He has only ever lived in two houses and went to school for 12 years with everyone else who never left. It's weird to go anywhere and he sees people he grew up with.
I went to a doctor appointment several years ago and the lady working the desk saw my last name and asked me if I was related to my husband's mom. I told her I'm married to her son. Evidently my MIL was her substitute teacher from time to time. The lady at my optometrist used to dog sit for one of the members of my church. And there's more. Totally random and weird.
I had no clue about the video. Last three weeks have been spent watching the Tour de France and dealing with older parent issues.
"True the Vote" is exposed as a fraud. Sorry for the pay wall, but if you can get the Wall Street Journal, here is the link:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/true-the-vo...2#cxrecs_s
This month Georgia officials sued the group for ignoring a subpoena for substantiation of its claims. True the Vote submitted a complaint in 2021 about ballot trafficking in Georgia. In April 2022, the State Election Board issued a subpoena for, to pick one thing, “the identities of the ‘ten hubs’ in Atlanta that you allege participated in a ballot harvesting scheme.”
Shouldn’t they be eager to comply? Instead, after the subpoena arrived, True the Vote asked to withdraw its complaint. The state board declined, given the gravity of the allegations, and now it’s telling a judge the subpoena is being flouted: “True the Vote continues to indifferently vacillate between statements of assured compliance and blanket refusal.”
And the article goes on to blow holes in the whole thesis of voter fraud detailed in the movie "2000 Mules."
What sticks out most is the movie’s elisions. True the Vote says it bought 10 trillion signals of cellphone data and looked for phones near 10 drop boxes and five unnamed liberal nonprofits. Voilà: 250 mules in Georgia, 200 in Arizona, 1,100 in Philadelphia.
Yet the Georgia Bureau of Investigation told the group in 2021 it lacked probable cause to examine 279 phones that “made multiple trips to within 100 feet of a voter drop box.” A hundred feet? That might snag any visitor to a public library where a drop box was placed. With 10 trillion pings, what are the odds that some random patterns would show up even in states that Mr. Trump won?
The film shows a map of an alleged mule’s route in Atlanta, but critics say the dots don’t exactly match actual drop box sites. “The movie graphics are not literal interpretations of our data,” a True the Vote analyst told the Washington Post.
Here's another article about "True the Vote" and "2000 Mules."
https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/georgia...ary-claims
Basically, True the Vote and 2000 Mules alleged some serious wrongdoing in the 2000 Presidential vote in Georgia. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation decided to do their job and investigate, but True the Vote is refusing to turn over any evidence. So the GBI subpoenaed the alleged evidence, and True the Vote tried to withdraw their claims. The GBI says these are serious allegations, and we need the evidence, so we will not withdraw our subpoena.

Kind-of a corny song but it'll be a huge hit I'm sure.
With so many conservatives neck deep in their own cancel culture of artists who don't vote like them, they need folks like Aldean, Kid Rock and Trace Adkins to record them a song suiting their sensibilities I suppose.
The one lyric makes me wonder? How many of the 81 million folks that voted for Joe Biden do you think have ever stomped on an American flag?
I'm curious, because this trope comes up frequently among conservatives when characterizing liberals.
Do you think this is something folks who generally just prefer progressive policy over conservative policy like to do?
I think the sissy libs just don't like seeing themselves act like that on TV..
