2018-02-06 19:32:07 UTC

2018-02-06 19:32:23 UTC

take a look at this

2018-02-06 19:32:28 UTC

it's the sidebar for /r/BlueMidterm2018

2018-02-06 19:32:43 UTC

@Extra Crispy the midterm elections are on November 6, 2018

2018-02-06 19:32:53 UTC

not much time left

2018-02-06 19:32:55 UTC

but primaries are in the middle of the year, the dates vary according to the state

2018-02-06 19:35:57 UTC
2018-02-06 19:36:13 UTC

and another main section on the homepage that is similar to the sidebar for /r/BlueMidterm2018

2018-02-06 19:36:19 UTC

@Red Storm (in NYC) 2: 55, 5: 57, 10: 60

2018-02-06 19:36:27 UTC

interesting

2018-02-06 19:37:26 UTC

we're grateful for your presence here @๐ŸŽƒBoo-ton๐ŸŽƒ keep up the good work with the data forecasting

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/410522048763527170/Red_Storm_Blog_Format.png

2018-02-06 19:48:13 UTC

let's have a format like this

2018-02-06 19:48:17 UTC

any thoughts ?

2018-02-06 19:52:00 UTC

nice

2018-02-06 19:52:34 UTC

let's make it look a bit fancier if you can though

2018-02-06 19:52:56 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/399676530394923010/410523277199540224/bluemidtermbanner.PNG

2018-02-06 19:52:59 UTC

like this

2018-02-06 19:53:10 UTC

we don't want to make it look like a website from the 1990s

2018-02-06 19:53:35 UTC

what about a different font?

2018-02-06 20:01:51 UTC

What's great is that with all this good news surrounding Trump, no one really cares about the stock market going down now because wages are going up with the tax bill, companies investing, etc

2018-02-06 20:03:17 UTC

I was getting worried for a while that stocks would be the only thing we could fall back on with the economy, but we have a life raft with the tax bill

2018-02-06 20:08:39 UTC

Another thing is that a recent harvard-harris poll found that about 2/3 of respondents found that any DACA deal should look like what Trump's proposing (continued protections, wall, end of chain migration and visa lottery)

2018-02-06 20:10:02 UTC

I agree, I think things are doing great

2018-02-06 20:10:05 UTC

Meaning, if DACA falls through, it will be on the Democrats as people generally want to have Trump's immigration plan passed. Not to mention the shutdown we're probably getting in 2 days, which didn't work out whatsoever last time.

2018-02-06 20:10:29 UTC

the majority of americans want immigration to stop

2018-02-06 20:11:26 UTC

The only way I support a deal is if the "path to citizenship" is extremely rigid and takes a long time, but optically, this is completely sound.

2018-02-06 20:11:34 UTC

the fact that the dems are willing to shut down the gov't just to keep the illegals around really makes it clear just who they're fighting for

2018-02-06 20:12:17 UTC

They're fucked whatever they do. The base of the left riots if they so much as shake hands with Trump.

2018-02-06 20:12:47 UTC

Happened with Pelosi's podium in September, happened with Schumer's apartment in the end of the last shutdown.

2018-02-06 20:13:05 UTC

They just don't get pragmatism, and it's to our gain in these elections.

2018-02-06 20:14:06 UTC

I think there's a possibility we can retake the generic ballot in the next few months if things go our way.

2018-02-06 20:15:18 UTC

Tax bill popularity + the DACA situation + Memo investigations + maybe infrastructure = your Red Storm right there.

2018-02-06 20:15:32 UTC

definitely

2018-02-06 20:15:44 UTC

We should keep it up on our side too, make sure to inform the people wherever you can.

2018-02-06 20:15:53 UTC

I hope those involved with the memo are wrangled and torn to bits for what they'd done

2018-02-06 20:16:05 UTC

literal treason

2018-02-06 20:16:11 UTC

if they get away with it, it's a major loss

2018-02-06 20:16:28 UTC

Nunes has another memo coming

2018-02-06 20:16:38 UTC

another one?

2018-02-06 20:17:53 UTC

The IG report, sorry thought it was Nuned

2018-02-06 20:18:00 UTC

nunes* ffs

2018-02-06 20:18:48 UTC

But if Trump's smart, I think going after corrupt leftist/neocon politicians will absolutely bring his base to the polls.

2018-02-06 20:19:41 UTC

If Hillary Clinton or fucking Obama goes to jail, that right there would be one of the biggest political events in modern history.

2018-02-06 20:20:13 UTC

It makes watergate look like shoplifting

2018-02-06 20:20:37 UTC

The midterms would definitely be affected by it

2018-02-06 20:20:42 UTC

might be the spark heard round the world

2018-02-06 20:21:32 UTC

Well, we've got some work to do until then, hopefully we can flip that generic ballot.

2018-02-06 20:21:53 UTC

with alot of effort, we will

2018-02-06 20:22:15 UTC

oh my god, if Hillary and Obama go to jail, I wonder what effect that would have on the midterms?

2018-02-06 20:22:25 UTC

(obviously, it would have effects on so many other things as well)

2018-02-06 20:22:25 UTC

it'd be amazing

2018-02-06 20:22:28 UTC

Red hurricane

2018-02-06 20:22:29 UTC

and probably terrifying

2018-02-06 20:22:33 UTC

Styxhexenhammer666 thinks it would cause a civil war

2018-02-06 20:22:37 UTC

now...I'm not so sure of that

2018-02-06 20:22:47 UTC

I agree, though I havent watched styx

2018-02-06 20:22:56 UTC

If the left are the aggressors I think it'd simmer down very quickly

2018-02-06 20:22:58 UTC

I think a civil war can only happen with economic collapse

2018-02-06 20:23:06 UTC

It's about optics, really.

2018-02-06 20:23:11 UTC

it could happen if Trump gets removed unjustly

2018-02-06 20:23:31 UTC

but if Hillary and Obama get legally prosecuted and imprisoned...the left will pull stunts, sure, but I don't expect civil war

2018-02-06 20:23:33 UTC

I think its how far people are willing to bend for what they believe in

2018-02-06 20:23:42 UTC

including in the economics area

2018-02-06 20:23:49 UTC

The side that defends scandalous politicians using alphabet agencies against their enemies is not going to have the public on their side

2018-02-06 20:24:01 UTC

a viable civil war can only happen if the economy breaks down or if the right wing is the aggressor

2018-02-06 20:24:13 UTC

if the left tries to start shit, it'll just be a mild insurrection that can be put down easily

2018-02-06 20:24:22 UTC

for all intents and purposes, the left controls the nation

2018-02-06 20:24:23 UTC

they're concentrated in the cities

2018-02-06 20:24:29 UTC

there would be no need for them to start a war

2018-02-06 20:24:33 UTC

most of them don't have guns

2018-02-06 20:24:37 UTC

most of them are massive posturing pussies

2018-02-06 20:24:58 UTC

An insurrection would be political suicide

2018-02-06 20:25:04 UTC

also, an American Civil War in 2018 would not be states vs states

2018-02-06 20:25:08 UTC

it would be asymettrical

2018-02-06 20:25:13 UTC

it would be rural areas vs urban areas

2018-02-06 20:25:14 UTC

We'd be a one party nation at that point

2018-02-06 20:25:19 UTC

and demographic vs demographic

2018-02-06 20:25:29 UTC

so within cities, you could have white working class people fighting minorities

2018-02-06 20:25:40 UTC

you would probably have SJWs pussying out

2018-02-06 20:25:59 UTC

tbh I'd probably pussy out too. I've never fired a gun

2018-02-06 20:26:15 UTC

in such a scenario, I'd stay in my apartment in NYC and stock up on food

2018-02-06 20:26:15 UTC

the 'we're a democracy' psyopp has been so effective at transforming our nation away from a republic that really, it would be only a matter of time for them to have won. Though I dont think they expected a blowback that we have created to happen, resulting in anomalies like trump

2018-02-06 20:26:26 UTC

and wait for NYC to get 'liberated'

2018-02-06 20:26:30 UTC

which should be too hard

2018-02-06 20:26:45 UTC

I feel the most that would happen is that you have social media autistic screeching, a slightly more extreme trayvon-esque riot in most cities, but other than that, that can be contained.

2018-02-06 20:26:55 UTC

now don't get me wrong, if I had to fight to defend myself, I'd do it the best I can

2018-02-06 20:26:59 UTC

I think in the cities, you'd have people fleeing the minorities

2018-02-06 20:27:22 UTC

We're not unstable enough to get a civil war over that kind of thing I don't feel.
