they revel in it

2019-12-19 07:51:54 UTC  

they know the data too

2019-12-19 07:52:27 UTC  

The media keeps pumping out anti Trump racism rhetoric. And people of certain demographics have been raised to believe those media sources

2019-12-19 07:52:35 UTC  

The National Rifle Association’s days of being a political powerhouse may be numbered.

Why? The answer is in the numbers.

Support for, and opposition to, gun control is closely associated with several demographic characteristics, including race, level of education and whether one lives in a city. Nearly all are trending forcefully against the NRA.

The core of the NRA’s support comes from white, rural and relatively less educated voters. This demographic is currently influential in politics but clearly on the wane. While the decline of white, rural, less educated Americans is generally well known, less often recognized is what this means for gun legislation.

They act like central planners - but I wonder what happens when a spanner gets thrown into their elaborate plan.

2019-12-19 07:52:51 UTC  

They have never been a political powerhouse.

There are better protectors of the 2 Amendment than the NRA I've been told.

2019-12-19 07:53:48 UTC  

theres the data on how much the NRA spends on politicians

2019-12-19 07:53:48 UTC  

You're doing what the left does with the NRA. People support 2A intensely, and thus support the NRA; not that the 2A hinges on the NRA.

2019-12-19 07:53:59 UTC  

There are outliers, but the majority (even my extremely logical close friends) couldn't see past the endless stream of racial propaganda being fed to them

2019-12-19 07:54:24 UTC  

2016 $1,096,659

2019-12-19 07:54:47 UTC  

1.1 million to the republicans is a big sum my dude. i mean yea they arent the hugest element but they contribute quite a bit

2019-12-19 07:54:59 UTC  

and thats besides the point really

2019-12-19 07:55:02 UTC  

Is a farmer who can survive by himself in the woods lower educated than a professor who requires a GPS to find his way through a city? <:Doubt:588038713938804760>

2019-12-19 07:55:38 UTC  

They give the money to Republicans because Republicans support 2A

2019-12-19 07:55:45 UTC  

The NRA isn't buying Republicans.

2019-12-19 07:55:46 UTC  

In our society, yes

2019-12-19 07:56:00 UTC  

Btw I'm the GPS guy in that equation, no bias on my part <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

2019-12-19 07:56:04 UTC  

In terms of life, depends on the person

2019-12-19 07:56:06 UTC  

ugh im not saying they are "buying" politicians so to speak.

2019-12-19 07:56:16 UTC  

but they are a very influential force in fighting gun control

2019-12-19 07:56:41 UTC  

from 2006 to 2016 they gave over 10 million dollars to politicians that support gun rights

2019-12-19 07:57:40 UTC  

this pays for their campaigns, their ads. and so on. and they do lots of advocacy for the 2a as well. but again this isnt really the point to that article

2019-12-19 07:58:04 UTC  

the point is that due to demographic change and cultural change its very easy to project the decline of these cultural values

2019-12-19 07:58:30 UTC  

especially as mass immigration continues, unabetted

2019-12-19 07:58:31 UTC  

People who are pro gun just need some extra soy in their milk smh

2019-12-19 07:59:28 UTC  

Even Bernie?

2019-12-19 07:59:29 UTC  
2019-12-19 07:59:41 UTC  

this is a very well documented and very well known issue

2019-12-19 08:00:09 UTC  

title of that article is "Mass immigration turned viriginia blue, says banner hung over highway"

2019-12-19 08:00:13 UTC  

The two biggest problems in our country right now are the government establishment on the left and right and the media pushing the multi cultural sectionality and racial/minorities agendas. Its a distraction meant to divide the country so the people in power can continue to operate behind the scenes without anyone knowing

2019-12-19 08:00:24 UTC  

Um, Virginia GOP didn't even run a candidate against a guy that was jailed for having sex with a teenager.

2019-12-19 08:01:19 UTC  

they most likely knew they wouldnt win anyways

2019-12-19 08:01:27 UTC  

That's a horrible defeatist attitude

2019-12-19 08:01:38 UTC  

Who would they have been able to run? If there's not a candidate available they can't really do anything

2019-12-19 08:01:41 UTC  

virginia has had 600,000+ new voters due to legal immigration in just ONE year lido

2019-12-19 08:01:56 UTC  

I don't know, a stick that says "i didn't have sex with a teenager."

2019-12-19 08:02:46 UTC  

Definitely could have worked with proper advertisement
