The left = the Capitol elites in the Hunger Games
Conservatives = the districts.

We have underperformed. Gotta get off our duffs. Rats play to win. We don’t.

Reading anything in the results of a special election in the first week of August is amateurish.

I know those RATs are tired of elections where they have to hang out at the polls until most Red areas are in so that they can stuff the ballot box.

They do this every election. Sometimes they stuff enough to win.

The gope under-performed ...

...and won.

That’s a GOOD sign.

What he failed to mention is that the GOP is set to take five Democratically-controlled Senate seats in November, and retain the AZ/Tenn Senate seats.

The good news is that as technology permits, people are leaving the cities for the rural areas. It’s been going on for decades, but is slowly increasing as working from home becomes a reality for an ever increasing part of the population.

I agree the GOP turnout in Ohio 12 was less than impressive, but how do we know there wasn’t vote tampering going on as well. After all Democrats were involved in this race too!

Riiiiiight, Joe. In an interim election with Dem turnout 2x the GOP turnout, the GOP candidate still won.

It would be funny if some smart folks in the rural areas held their results back to recount, “just to make sure”.

What would even be better would be for all polling places to not release their results until every single polling place indicates they are prepared to release their results.

Or perhaps they could be sealed and all opened at once.

I don’t know about “rural”. I think the GOPt is becoming the polar opposite of the Democrat party that is “inner city/urban”. It seems like there is the “city folks” and the “rest of us” .. guess that makes us “rural” from a city folk perspective?

Rural voters nearly gave MN to Trump in 2016.
The problem is actually on the RAT side.
Most rural voters don’t like the world the RATS want to mandate on them.

A shirt I saw at Tractor Supply:

“Farming. Because SOMEBODY’S gotta feed you people.”

The District is an urban/suburban/rural nightmare.

He's a former redneck out of Deliverance.

Every time I see him I think of the old song “How are you going to keep them down on the farm, after they've seen Paree?”
