In 1999, Orange County was the only California county in which a majority of registered voters belonged to the GOP. As of this week, it has more Democrats than Republicans. wapo.st/2KlXiTP
Note that the ten counties in which the Dems and GOP gained the most advantage since 1999 were ones in which one party eroded while the other stayed flat. wapo.st/2KlXiTP
So why's California so blue? Well, let's scale those charts by county population. wapo.st/2KlXiTP

The Post's story on Sayoc. Will be updated with more from inside the courthouse. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
Sayoc spoke in the court room and addressed the messages he posted online prior to the bombing.

"Now that I am a sober man, I know I was a sick man," he said. "I should have listened to my mother, the love of my life."
Sayoc's attorney claimed that he "slowly became deranged" by political news he saw, some of which was fake. He saw himself and Trump as mutually targeted, his attorneys claimed, rolling negative responses to his van's messaging into his paranoia.

Trump:
- Often shrugs at or deploys racist rhetoric
- Fosters anger at immigrants, and
- Endorses unchecked gun ownership.

If El Paso is what it looks like, Trump may be the worst person to address it. wapo.st/2LZDS9n
1. Trump when a Muslim couple shoots 14 people in California.
2. Trump when a supporter shouts out that migrants should be shot at the border.

The photo on the right was posted in the same hour as Trump's first tweets lamenting the El Paso shooting.

One thing that I think is under-appreciated in the moment is the extent to which party identifiers are serving as proxies for racial groups. wapo.st/2YoQg9J
Here's what the Republican and Democratic caucuses look like demographically in the House, Senate and governor's seats. wapo.st/2YoQg9J
Had to fix to correct something I'd failed to include; TY to @fakecraigbonney for noting.

@Kris_Sacrebleu We should expect a ‘rhyming’ of our mid-19th century era surrounding our Civil War.
The #GOP (POTrump-#Republicans) shall end, leaving a blessed ‘conservative power drought’ lasting about as long as the Lincoln-to-Arthur 24-yr. GOP dominant era; we’ve no time for conservatism.
👇🏼
@Kris_Sacrebleu 👉🏼There will be far too much to prosecute, legislate for, and plan if we are to last another century.
Do NOT expect assassinations. Do expect continued domestic terror and prodding from, . . . wait for it . . . —RUSSIA.
The thing yoking America today, 👇🏼
@Kris_Sacrebleu 👉🏼 as much as slavery once did, is the scourge of #PartyPolitics which bred corporate control via sponsorship; #Democrats thankfully do acknowledge this, so look for the Dems to do the one thing they do best: self-dismantle their own power through #ElectionReform, 👇🏼

The current system is totalitarianism and our Nations are occupied by usurpers and illegal immigrants. #Democrats and #Republicans are both part of the totalitarian party United States Code Title 8 § 1101 (a)(b)(37).
What I tweeted above doesn't registered to a lot of people due to your marxist programs. When I say the current system is totalitarianism that includes any sitting President under the never ratified 14th Amendment. If you read Title 8 § 1101 (a)(b)(37). The part "systems of...
...government". Anyone from the federal corporation to the state houses,court houses & police stations are part of totalitarian system. This is NOT the original system from the founders. I tweeted a lot on the Reconstruction Acr of 1867 that our republican form of governments..

@davidfrum @TheAtlantic This has nothing to do with enforcement. The president is claimig the immigrants coming to our country are some kind of ‘liberal plot’ or somehow associated with the Democratic party - this is a lie. Democrats want border enforcement too - we just don’t think a wall makes sense.
@davidfrum @TheAtlantic You of all people should recognize that this entire story is a propaganda piece being used by the President & his alt-reich pals to create a kind of xenophobic fury in order to get more votes for the midterms. There’s a discussion re enforcement but this is a false narrative.
@davidfrum @TheAtlantic The majority of Dem voters are in favor of border enforcement- it’s just not high on the list of priorities given the current state of our country/ politics. Democratic leaders have voted for stronger border enforcement very recently & have been pushing for immigration reforms.
