he's highlighting the bullshit behind the false accusations of sexual assault/harrassment

that's a very important issue for me

he pointed out that the GOP is leading in the Generic Congressional Ballot

I think he should have kept his mouth shut about any sexual assault charges, doesn't make him look good and puts more eyes on it.

no, I think he needs to talk about them because they're bullshit

That looks interesting

this affects men in general

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

TRUMP JUST BANNED BUMP STOCKS

THIS WILL _KILL_ TRUMP'S CONSERVATIVE SUPPORT

He's gotta have some sort of key to swing during all this hysteria

This is a rough week

What can you do about it really, the masses yell for something, even if it doesn't make sense.

Fuck this world man

only 50% of American wants further gun control,

that's down from 51% in 2016

which is down from 80% in the 1980s

And that's as of when?

Dates are important.

_after_ the shooting

The loud minority seems to always get their cake, don't they?

50% is _not_ a majority

If the right ever learned from the left on activism and optics, we'd be so fucking far ahead.

I don't know where to go from here, maybe wait for a bit, get stuff on the server done, hopefully the news gets better.

This is a cycle, and it never seems to end.

@FLanon "if the right ever learned from the left on activism and optics, we'd be so fucking far ahead"

in a sense

the left has been fucking up quite a bit on the optics front though

Those kids at parkland knew what they were doing

though I wish more people on the right had the dedication to engage in activism to get candidates elected like the left is doing right now

@FLanon It wouldn't surprise me if they're mostly doing it on their own intiative

kids these days can get very political

I was rather political as a high schooler

it was more abnormal back then, but these days I would have been considered more typical

They got the right idea, optics is much more important than ideas in electoral politics.

now...they're definitely getting propped up by the media

and $

You can have a million infographics, but the masses respond to emotional weeping much easier

It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is.

We've got to have guys with microphones at these rallies asking questions and proving these fucks have no damn clue what they're talking about.

the thing is, that's not really our forte

unless there are people in this chat who have the means to do that

Yeah, that's unfortunate. Infowars should have that at the ready, I think NJF did that with one of these gun control protests yesterday.

They couldnt get "assault weapons" banned

this will dampen their spirits

When will it get to peoples' heads that gun control laws are not "gun control laws" but victim disarmament

All this school shooter shit would be solved if we armed teachers and had armed security guards in schools like certain states are advocating for right now

At least logic won over emotion in Florida today

Trump is banning bump stocks though

So for Florida, logic won. The rest of America? Not quite.

Rip

He shouldnt have bowed to anti gun pressure like that

Did Nikolas use a bump stock at all?

It was because of the las vegas shooting

Sometimes I feel like getting the fuck over there and telling people that gun control is victim disarmament and why

How to confuse gun control advocates:

The first instance of gun control being implimented in the US was the Ku Klux Klan trying to make it so that black people can't have guns, thus making it easier for them to commit genocide on them

"But but but..."

yikes

the (D) candidate is leading with 64% of the vote,

Nelson?

this would be the 5th district they've flipped this year...

no, special election, Kentucky

oh, well, at the moment the GOP doesn't have the best name recognition does it

Even if this blows over soon, if November 6 was tomorrow, that blue wave would be there.

Who's the candidate she's facing

@FLanon If

And if it was tomorrow, the GOP would have already calibrated to that

I learned my lesson when watching special elections since the Alabama one

I had a sleepless night due to the sense of defeat

@Kevin What lesson ?

also, no reason to get a sense of defeat from that

you know,

if Trump sent out a tweet, saying,

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 You were there on that particular night

"Hey Kentucky, Special Election, go out and vote. Thanks"

@Red Storm (in NYC) Not to get too worked up about special elections

this could be avoided

Hmm, I wonder what kind of impact Trump tweeting would have

Do Republicans forget about special elections recently

There seems to be low Rep turn out

HOLY SHIT

in special elections across the country

A **86** POINT SHIFT TO DEMOCRATS

@Red Storm (in NYC)

**_86_**

what

What figure is that relevant to?

Elections nationwide?

or Kentucky

@🎃Boo-ton🎃

lol stop acting like a Californian @🎃Boo-ton🎃

it looks like Dan Johnson won in 2016 because of the boost he got from people turning out for Trump and voting Republican down ballot

otherwise, it's a Democrat seat that the GOP candidate didn't bother putting much effort in

also, Dan Johnson won by less than 200 votes in 2016

it does go to show however, that if turnout in these special elections was like turnout for Trump, we would have BTFO in every race

we would have won in Alabama by massive margins

and Virginia
