I’m listening to Republican strategist Sarah Longwell on NPR talking about public opinion of Trump’s tyrannical posture and she just said:
“When I ask voters in focus groups if they think Donald Trump is an authoritarian, the #1 response by far is, ‘what’s an authoritarian?’”

The impact of gerrymandering:
A state where 57 percent of voters want to eliminate government interference with abortion has a Legislature that imposed a near-total ban on abortion.

It's still too early to call but at this point it looks like the only Dallas HERO Initiative proposition in play is S, which would remove government immunity in lawsuits against the city. If only S passes, Dallas HERO will have blown up qualified immunity for police officers too.

People who say this election could be the "end of democracy" are so extra...
Or maybe they know the TRUE history of the election-denying white supremacist who led a violent insurrection, overturned a presidential election and ended democracy in America.

Hey it's me Destin, from Smarter Every Day. Now that it's time to elect America's next leader, I would like to share something very interesting and important with you. I've been paying attention to this for a while, and I think if you look for it, you see it too.

For those who have expressed outrage over my voting for Kamala Harris, in response to the MSNBC article that was published yesterday and has over 700, 000 views….please know that, anyone who has or will be voting for Donald J. Trump, I simply will not engage with you in a discussion surrounding my character, credibility, or whether or not I’m a Christian.

So many Republicans worried that drug-using, Tesla-driving godless libertines from California would change Texas. Time to take down those "Don't California my Texas" billboards.
The great and powerful @elonmusk.
If it wasn't for him we'd be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump.
