Quote of the Day
They’re [Democrats] not succeeding in persuading the American people that they’re up to a leadership role, which is why, after me being a Democrat for 60 or more years, I am now going to campaign very hard for the Republicans to maintain control of the House and the Senate. Not because I love the Republican agenda. It’s because I’m totally frightened if the Democrats were to gain control of either House. Who they would appoint as chair people? Who they would put in the position of inquisitors, and how they would deny rights to people, and how they would introduce a kind of McCarthyism that we haven’t seen since I was a college student in the 1950s?

‘I’m Totally Frightened’: Lifelong Democrat Dershowitz Says He’ll ‘Campaign Very Hard For Republicans’ In Midterms
When the Democrats have lost Dershowtiz, you know they are running on fumes.
We live in interesting times.
I keep hearing the Democrats claim that lots of people are unhappy with Trump, but I suspect that is coming from people around them who didn’t vote for Trump to begin with.
I’m hearing lots of people from multiple mostly rural areas who say that Trump is doing exactly what is needed to restore the country.
Democrats are really bad at non recognizing confirmation bias – they assume that the people around them reflect average/ normal when they most definitely do NOT.
(I find that city people of any stripe tend to be bad about this, much worse than rural people) – for example, nearly all the complaints I hear about high housing prices are from those in big cities or close in suburbs who feel they “have” to live there but don’t have the skills to pay the housing costs there. And of course they follow the script by blaming big companies and the rich while refusing to recognize how local governments have intentionally restricted housing.
