Just because a lot of the types who go to events like the #TrumpRally and who tweet out things like #TRUMP2024ToSaveAmerica might still believe his lies about the election, I’m here to help.

#TrumpLost. And it’s time everyone made their peace with that fact. Here’s some facts …
Now you say “but Trump still says that he didn’t lose. And he wouldn’t lie to us.”

Yeah. About that.

Trump not only lies all the time but he ESPECIALLY lies about losing. He lied about losing the popular vote in 2016 even though it didn’t matter because he won the election.
I also forgot about this one. There are dozens and dozens of indicators that corroborate the fact that Trump lost. Need to pull the whole list together … except I keep finding more.

Looking at now multiple polls from multiple pollsters over time on both the Republican Party favorability and Biden’s job approval, a couple of things are clear to me:

The GOP is losing ground with white men. Those with and w/o degrees. Even with white rural voters (FNC polls).
The Dems are losing a little bit of ground with black voters and a moderate amount of ground with latino voters.

Based on the FNC polls, Biden has closed a lot of ground with white evangelical voters.
It’s not clear to me that the time-tested demographic coalitions relied on by both parties are going to hold together for a lot longer. But since the GOP relies almost exclusively on winning white voters by enormous margins in order to win elections, I’d be worried if I were them

Georgia’s new voting laws made absentee voting more difficult and some forms of voting, such as mobile voting run by Fulton County, outright illegal.

More than half of Georgia’s absentee votes in 2020 came from just 8 of its 159 counties. See if you notice any patterns.
GA counties w/half of absentee votes:
1) Cobb County: 28.8% black
2) Fulton County: 44.5% black
3) DeKalb County: 54.8% black
4) Gwinnett County: 29.8% black
5) Chatham County: 41.2% black
6) Cherokee County: 7.7% black
7) Clayton County: 72.8% black
8) Forsyth County: 4.4% black
In addition, the new Georgia Voting Law makes provisional voting nearly impossible. In 2020, 11,120 provisional ballots were cast in Georgia in the Presidential Election. The state was only decided by 11,779 votes.

So far, I have found the following economic metrics to all be better so far at this point in Biden’s Presidency than it was at this point in Trump’s Presidency.

- GDP Growth (bea.gov)
- Number of jobs added (bls.gov)
- Dow Jones Industrial Index
In 2021, the first quarter GDP growth was +6.4%.

In 2017, the first quarter GDP growth was 2.3%.
(bea.gov)
Between February and May, 2017, the first four full months of Trump’s term in office, 683,000 jobs were added to US payrolls.

Between February and May, 2021, the first four fill months of Biden’s term in office, 2,158,000 jobs were added to US payrolls.

Good cops, and there are a whole lot of them in America, provide more value to society than we can ever pay them back in terms of salary and benefits. We need them badly.

But bad cops, like former officer #DerekChauvin, are an incalculable liability to society and to taxpayers.
This man, who is now a convicted murderer and under multiple federal indictments, had a gun, a badge and a taxpayer-funded salary less than 13 months ago today.

What is the impact of people like this on society? Let’s count the ways.
People like Chauvin and others who abuse their authority as officers:

- Hurt and kill the people they swore an oath to protect.
- Destroy the faith of many citizens in the idea of policing.
- Cost taxpayers a literal fortune. Nobody Defunds the Police more than bad cops.

04/2021 - 178,854 (+3.18%)
05/2021 - 180,034 (+0.66%)

So from 1876 through 1864, the Democratic Party won the majority of the 11 former Confederate states. 23 Presidential Elections in a row.

And since 1964, it's only won the majority of the former Confederate states once, in 1976.
Obviously, the Democratic Party of today is quite left-leaning and most of the former CSA states are right-leaning ideologically.

But that doesn't exactly explain this change.
For 86 years, most of the former Confederate states voted for Democrats during Presidential elections. No matter who the Democrat was.

And then, like a light switch, after 1964, it just stopped. With one notable exception in 1976 when former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter ran.
