Stan Greenberg focus groups & polls: a big chunk of white working-class voters voted Trump hoping for health care reform, and have turned against him because he didn't deliver prospect.org/politics/the-p…

it's cool that lib political scientists have convinced Dem elites that this behavior is impossible and never happens

seems like an underexplored possible dynamic here is fussy journalists blaming riots on protesters that were really caused by police shootings vox.com/2020/6/2/21275…
in other words, the MSM *always* having a four-alarm freakout when buildings get burned down is a major confounding factor in polling showing that people turn against protests associated with riots
even if you are very upset about property destruction, it is perfectly logical to blame the police. "cops shouldn't shoot an unarmed man in the back 7 times in front of their kids, and then beat the shit out of people who are upset. that's how you get riots!"

let's talk about pickup trucks, because I just can't get enough of conservatives calling things "soy"
people like @tedcruz assumed that I was talking about all pickups in the tweet from the other day. but I was talking about a specific design trend: the cliff-face front grille. here is the 2020 Silverado HD
I actually grew up driving trucks and doing construction work in rural Colorado. this part right here is both dangerous and pointless. you create a much bigger blind spot & foul up your aerodynamics for no reason

sales of mega-pickups, which have basically been deliberately designed to intimidate and kill pedestrians, are booming wsj.com/articles/picku…
the trend of 6-foot grilles that create massive blind spots and pull people under to be crushed when they are hit is 100 percent a marketing gimmick
hundreds of conservatives here doing their best to demonstrate that yes, huge trucks are about postmodern culture war signaling and unsubtle Freudian neurosis
