This is it. We’ve now passed the deadline to register to vote in the 2020 presidential election and Pennsylvania Republicans are peaking at the right time again.

The Republicans made substantial gains in 2015 and 2016 ahead of Donald Trump’s surprise victory, only for the Pennsylvania Democrats to bounce back over the past four years. Since last spring’s primary, though, Republican registrations have steadily grown.

For instance, back in May the Democratic margin statewide was 803,427. As of the Oct. 19 deadline, it’s been reduced to 700,853. The grand total of 9,016,163 registered voters consists of 4,207,190 Democrats, 3,506,337 Republicans and 1,302,636 others.

But what it is ain’t exactly clear”

I live near a bunch of them, it’s because being a Democrat is high status. If these people thought being a Trump supporter was respectable and a way to signal they were “a good person”, they would change their affiliation.

The aspirational class is the base for the Democratic Party.

Remember, just because you are paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.

Singing songs and carrying signs. Mostly saying “Hooray for our side.”

“carrying signs”

Them were the good ole days.

Now carrying a sign could get you attacked from the crazies in many parts of the country.

Many, many blue collar registered Democrats in PA are voting for President Trump. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.

I can’t take credit for it, it’s a word I have seen coined in the past few years to describe this group of people. The people who have NPR totebags and work a dead-end job at Starbucks yet see themselves as temporarily embarrassed elites.
