I'm the only impartial observer here
is QAnon really a thing?
My parents are pretty scared about QAnon and they watch a lot of MSNBC
Where are all of the scary QAnon supporters located? I've never seen one
GWS is far closer to an impartial observer. Ditto grapedrink.
QAnon is really a thing. A guy really walked into a ping pong/pizza parlor in Washington DC, armed to the teeth, demanding to see a basement that doesn't exist. A bunch of right wing nutjobs sporting Q patches on their ICE or CBP or whatever other narcfest shitheel agency uniforms aren't a big deal. Unless you're attending a protest or some sh!t.
The favorite to win a district in Western Colorado, and the favorite to win a district in NW Georgia are open QAnon people.
From how you describe your zone, I think QAnon people, you probably find them to be crazy-eyed people with velcro shoes and a fanny pack, and you just default into Northeast City mind your own business/don't be a target. You're in a very, very small corner of the country where the "shy Trump voter" is a thing.
In 98% of the rest of America (I'm basically excluding OC, South Bay LA, and a subset of Anglo males in Silicon Valley) the "shy Trump voter" only has one Trump flag flying from a rodholder in their pickup bed at all times.
No, "its" not. Both sides have done that.
In blocking Garland, 10 months out from an election, McConnell made this war.
I get that McConnell and Graham said they wouldn't but now they will, because they can and they are liars and this is politics. Anyone who thought any different at the time is silly. I get that.
But everyone should also get that the Dems, IF they win in November, could add blue seats to the SCOTUS or add 2 states (4 blue senate seats) to the US, because they can.
Edit: rice this is an expansion on your post, not an argument against it.
The problem with Garland is he didn't even get a hearing, much less an up/down vote.
People act like Bork was somehow analogous. No. Bork was obviously a whackjob in committee, and the committee recommended he be rejected by the Senate,
but they advanced to the full floor vote 9-5.
There were more Republican "no" votes than Democratic "yes" votes for Bork.
But President Reagan's pick had his day, in Judiciary Committee AND before the full Senate, with 56 Democrats in the Senate. The Democrats went through the entire "Advise and Consent" process. Government functioned correctly.
Garland was just Mitch McConnell going "you'll have to burn Georgia and South Carolina to the ground all over again, because we're stubborn partisans".
