    An eggplant with a wig would have a 97% chance of beating Trump.

    One good thing is that it looks like Trump has decided that wearing masks and not killing so many people might help him with his reelection.

    More leadership skills in evidence. The Incompetent in Chief ruins everything he touches and blames someone else.

    Jacksonville should ask all the other American cities that trump has left without paying his bills...




    Costly presidential campaign rallies leave cities wondering who’s paying the bill

    Its such a fallacy that conservative white people have that somehow because of section 8 housing orders from the government, all the sudden their pristine Neigbor hood is going to have high rise project apartments like you’d see in the Bronx, and all the sudden there will be drug dealers on every corner.

    What dictates the “nice-ness” of your neighborhood often coincides with the tax revenue going to your city you live in, and the projected dollar amount of retail demand in your area that drives development of things like a Perry’s steakhouse coming up near you rather than a Dairy Queen. And if the city has more tax revenue it can afford better infrastructure, schools, and projects that bring in more high end development.

    When people around me start b****ing about section 8 housing we all know what they are really afraid of. If you want to continue to live in a white utopia go where the taxes are through the roof. That type of racial comfort comes at a price (see Woodlands taxes).

    So I assume you agree with this then, and have a fear of your suburb being overrun with non-white people? Since you are just posting this stuff without context I have only one conclusion I can make.

    The reason why the only Republican that has been this blunt so far with this strategy has been Trump is that it's so obviously playing to white racial grievance to try and reverse the trend that we saw in 2018 with the suburbs really becoming the Achilles heal of Republicans grasp on traditionally red states with racially diverse populations like Texas and Georgia.

    The problem is this strategy is better served for 1989 than 2020. The suburbs are already diverse. There is a fear of section 8 housing with Trump voter profile voters of course, and they are the loudest people on neighborhood facebook pages, etc. about this issue but the problem is those people are already voting for Trump, and even with their votes out in full force, the suburbs are still diverse enough already to overwhelm Trump voters if turnout is high. Also those Trump voters that live in diverse suburbs that have these fears are the same type of voters that HATE thinking of themselves as racist because they live and work in diverse communities. Having such a blunt white racial grievance strategy with these Trump voters has SOME risks.

    Any explanation that lacks UFOs, Elvis, JFK and the Deep State shows a complete lack of imagination.
