I was an AP student, so I took one of these courses, it was called AP Human Geography, back in freshman year.

2018-01-24 04:33:18 UTC

Ever heard of it

2018-01-24 04:33:52 UTC

It's basically leftist indocrination: the class

2018-01-24 04:35:03 UTC

at least Enlgish pretends it's a class about "analysis" and literature, but this class just goes right into it

2018-01-24 04:35:11 UTC

"immigration is good"

2018-01-24 04:36:17 UTC

and I remember back when I was getting a bit of a start in the right as I noticed that society wasn't very stable and I realized this is the first AP course you take.

2018-01-24 04:36:50 UTC

Not economics, not math, not any of that, but AP human geography, I learned absolutely nothing of value in that course.

2018-01-24 04:37:27 UTC

I probably have gotten more useful information at the lunch period

2018-01-24 04:38:06 UTC

I hope the education system is getting people to realize how bullshit it is like I had

2018-01-24 04:38:20 UTC

That's one explanation for Gen Z I think

2018-01-24 04:38:54 UTC

You put a walnut in a vice and squeeze long enough, and eventually there's a crack.

2018-01-24 04:47:33 UTC

Welp, goodnight everyone

2018-01-24 04:47:46 UTC

2018-01-24 04:48:09 UTC

hey

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/405611550162944010/net_approval_senators.jpg

2018-01-24 12:45:36 UTC

What do the numbers mean

2018-01-24 13:54:31 UTC

I have an idea

2018-01-24 13:54:51 UTC

Create an info graphic for each special election that has the format of

2018-01-24 13:55:52 UTC

"if x% of people who voted for Trump in 2016 voted in (special election), the Republican would have won"

2018-01-24 13:59:31 UTC

E.G

2018-01-24 14:00:19 UTC

if 79.6% of people who voted for Trump voted for the Republican candidate Gillespie, he would have won

2018-01-24 14:45:06 UTC

But Gillespie was a Establishment shill. That was the problem.

2018-01-24 14:45:31 UTC

true

2018-01-24 14:45:36 UTC

that's why many Trump voters didn't vote for him

2018-01-24 14:45:42 UTC

still better than Northam though

2018-01-24 14:45:56 UTC

Gillespie distanced himself from Trump, and blamed Trump when he lost

2018-01-24 14:46:03 UTC

he campaigned with George W. Bush

2018-01-24 14:46:06 UTC

Of course. Northern Virginia has way too much power over The whole state.

2018-01-24 14:46:12 UTC

yep

2018-01-24 14:46:21 UTC

it's closer to safe blue than purple at this point

2018-01-24 14:46:31 UTC

If Virginia and West Virginia reunited, the state would be more red

2018-01-24 14:46:40 UTC

haha, it definitely would

2018-01-24 14:46:47 UTC

it would be more competitive

2018-01-24 14:46:52 UTC

I think it would have gone red in 2016

2018-01-24 14:47:33 UTC

West Virginia only elected Democrats because this was during the time that the Democrats pretended they cared about the little man and Were in support of Coak

2018-01-24 14:47:36 UTC

Coal

2018-01-24 14:47:40 UTC

indeed

2018-01-24 14:47:56 UTC

much of the south elected Democrats to local office until relatively recently

2018-01-24 14:48:10 UTC

it was a remnant of the time when it was known as the "Solid South"

2018-01-24 14:48:26 UTC

Ohio was for many years purple. But I think Ted Strickland changed that.

2018-01-24 14:48:49 UTC

that's the election between the Republican (Theodore Roosevelt) vs his Democratic opponent, Alton Parker

2018-01-24 14:49:01 UTC

it was a landslide in terms of popular vote

2018-01-24 14:49:18 UTC

but the south was still solidly Democratic, except for Missouri, which went over to the GOP

2018-01-24 14:49:35 UTC

Ohio always goes red or blue

2018-01-24 14:49:41 UTC

But I think it will go Red

2018-01-24 14:50:09 UTC

Ohio is the opposite of Virginia in that it's a purple state trending safe red

2018-01-24 14:50:27 UTC

I think that had to do with Ted Strickland

2018-01-24 14:50:34 UTC

He was a really shitty governor

2018-01-24 14:50:49 UTC

in what ways was he shitty

2018-01-24 14:51:13 UTC

He bankrupted the state, and spent the rainy day fund until it was just 68 cents

2018-01-24 14:51:19 UTC

wow

2018-01-24 14:51:57 UTC

He tried running for senator in the 2016 election, but his advertisement campaign was really shitty compared to Portmanโ€™s

2018-01-24 14:52:03 UTC

So he lost

2018-01-24 14:53:42 UTC

58.0% to 37.2%

2018-01-24 14:53:49 UTC

yeah, what a pathetic showing

2018-01-24 14:54:11 UTC

the good news is that if the GOP does it right, a lot of races this November should look like that

2018-01-24 14:54:56 UTC

The asshole thought that โ€œsince muh trump is against abortion, so is Portmanโ€. Thatโ€™s what his advertisement campaign was. Portmanโ€™s in the other hand was that since Strickland bankrupted the State, why would we make him our senator?

2018-01-24 14:55:25 UTC

if only 51.1% of people who voted for Trump voted for Moore, he would have won

2018-01-24 14:55:55 UTC

But the Dems scared the voters away with the pedo allegations.

2018-01-24 14:56:34 UTC

Either ways, I donโ€™t think Jones will make it to the next election

2018-01-24 14:56:47 UTC

if 75.1% of people who voted for Trump voted for the GOP candidate in the Governor's race in New Jersey, the Republican would have won

2018-01-24 14:56:58 UTC

tbh if I were Jones, I wouldn't even bother running for another term

2018-01-24 14:56:59 UTC

But New Jersey is a blue state

2018-01-24 14:57:10 UTC

I'd abuse my time to vote solid blue

2018-01-24 14:57:20 UTC

New Jersey is a blue state and Alabama is a red state

2018-01-24 14:57:26 UTC

doesn't mean that the underdog party can't win

2018-01-24 14:57:30 UTC

Right

2018-01-24 14:57:49 UTC

We could win New Jersey since Menendez is so controversial

2018-01-24 18:02:16 UTC

@FLanon I remember hearing about AP Human Geography when I was a HS freshman, but never took it. That's how it is? Jeez

2018-01-24 18:03:52 UTC

Southern NJ could carry a Republican to victory

2018-01-24 18:04:13 UTC

Atlantic City is basically Las Vegas

2018-01-24 18:04:22 UTC

Tossup city

2018-01-24 22:11:19 UTC

Can I show you guys something

2018-01-24 22:11:27 UTC

sure

Iโ€™ll put the first 3 up and the rest once you have red it

2018-01-24 23:19:14 UTC
2018-01-24 23:20:45 UTC

idiots

2018-01-24 23:21:06 UTC

he's residing in his DC home

2018-01-24 23:21:13 UTC

Like I said, these people see Trump as the devil, and any deal will lead to riots.

2018-01-24 23:21:41 UTC

The intentions are the same

2018-01-24 23:23:11 UTC

If there's a deal, and we get to change the immigration system, w/ a wall, no diversity lotto, no chain migration, the net effect is a positive on our side , and these people will still riot over this not being amnesty open borders.

2018-01-24 23:23:40 UTC

If there's no deal, every person in that video will be going right to Mexico.

2018-01-24 23:24:07 UTC

They have no leverage, they're at our mercy.

2018-01-24 23:24:12 UTC

the only bill I'll accept is the Goodlatte bill

2018-01-24 23:24:29 UTC

2018-01-24 23:24:31 UTC

And now they have to deal with the monster of their own making

2018-01-24 23:25:09 UTC

With our advantage, we may be able to get Schumer to sign it.

2018-01-24 23:26:26 UTC

If there's no deal, Trump can say "we were willing to negotiate but he wasn't up to the plate! Sad!", if there is, then the DreamerBrigadeโ„ข and progressives will cause a split right down the middle of the Democratic Party

2018-01-24 23:26:44 UTC

I see nothing but positives, really

2018-01-24 23:26:49 UTC

here's the dirty little secret of the Democrats

2018-01-24 23:26:57 UTC

Yes, I know, '86

2018-01-24 23:27:03 UTC

they an interest in keeping illegal immigration flowing
