suburban new jersey is not trump country

Yeah what the fuck, I'm trying to think of any NJ town near NYC that would be "Trump Country."

maybe certain parts of South or Western Jersey? Certainly nothing close to the city.

vernon maybe

morristown area was pretty conservative too when i lived there tho that's starting to get further from the city

Where I'm now is a staunchly working class, blue collar town in Southern Bergen County. I see Trump decals, signs, and mailings pretty regularly. It was sold to me as a nice middle class area, and it does look nice, but it's really not what I expected. More my bad, but still. I'm getting back to NYC ASAP.

Morristown is more like Jeb Bush or Rubio country I think?

bergen county did go obama in 2012 - and looks like the south was more blue than the north. i assume this probably heavily depends on precisely what neighborhood you're in.

xp yes totally

i've started seeing lots more hillary signs in my supposedly contentious philly suburbs neighborhood + still no trump stuff. i guess wealthy educated ppl probably not going trump in big numbers.

I taught a class in Manville once, that was kinda white working class and I guess I could see that being Trump territory.

I'm guessing you might be talking about Carlstadt, a town I really don't know but which is apparently almost entirely white and doesn't have a super high median income.

xp isn't lack of a college degree a much bigger predictor of Trump support than income among whites? Thought I remembered hearing that stat.

I used to go to Morristown for work and it seemed kind of like the idyllic moderate Republican suburb, cafes full of attractive and fit stay-home moms and their strollers, well-kept victorian homes, etc., like if you took an idyllic liberal suburb and just turned the dial one notch right of center. I remember there being an actual omaha steaks brick-and-mortar, which I thought was funny.

The area I'm in had KKK activity up until the 90s, so maybe they did vote for Obama. Recently I saw a truck driving by with neo Nazi decals on it. It's nothing like towns like Morristown, Mendham, or Chester, which I'm a lot more familiar with. I'm just saying, the last thing I want is these guys having more power.

Dude at my work had this one up in his cube!

On one level that's hilarious, but on another level it is deeply unsettling.

the widest gyre, just tremendous

it recalls to mind: trumpflinchingawayfromrealbaldeagle.gif

apologies for yesterday's eruption in the other thread. not an excuse, but I was drunk at the time and going through an emotional breakdown simultaneously and for some reason thought the internet was a good place to have it.

anyways...this Trump Foundation shit better get legs.

You don't know how weird shxx really is until you live in rural KY. I over hear some serious crazy accepted as just the way it is.

r/thedonald isn't the subreddit though - r/the_donald is what you want. Well, "want".

whatever it's called, it's a place that so-called "moderate" republican voters should visit in order to learn what kind of movement they will be endorsing if they vote trump in november.

Man, while listing all the racism I completely forgot all the white supremacist memes Trump has been retweeting.

I grew up in West Milford... about 45 minutes away from the city in North Jersey and it is 80 square miles of rural suburbia. There are plenty of confederate flags on pick up trucks out there. You really don't have to travel too far to find Trump demos. Even in Boonton where I work right now you see them.

there are definitely some little pockets around here and there. like the time i was out in the field for work around Ramsey,nj and saw an older man jogging while carrying a yuge Trump flag through the middle of a neighborhood.

love how the media is taking trump's bait and reporting on the pneumonia as if it is somehow revelatory of a "tranparency" problem on the part of clinton. great job.

if yr a radiologist then pneumonia really IS a transparency problem

After years of successfully holding off Democratic gains in this rapidly changing state, Republicans are scrambling to pour new resources into North Carolina in the face of unexpectedly close contests in the presidential and Senate races.

Republicans here are increasingly nervous about the prospects in November for both presidential nominee Donald Trump, who held a rally in Asheville on Monday evening, and Sen. Richard Burr, who is in a tight race with a relatively unknown Democratic opponent. The state’s Republican governor, Pat McCrory, also is in danger of losing his reelection bid.

It’s a dramatic change in fortune for a party that had reasserted control of North Carolina after President Obama narrowly won the state in 2008. Republicans enacted a wave of conservative policies, including imposing new voting restrictions and overruling protections for gay and transgender people. The rightward shift was particularly notable in a state that is gaining Hispanics and young white professionals at a rapid pace, following in the wake of its neighbor to the north, Virginia.

The current shitness of the media might be the only thing Trump and I agree on.

lol gbx

That would be Staten Island.

Oh for sure. Parts of southern Brooklyn too if we're talking about the boroughs. Middle class white areas where cops and firefighters live. AM radio listening conservatives who are not evangelical and hate "elites" and mistrust minorities and don't give a flying fuck about "conservative principles" as espoused by the national review but want lower taxes.

yeah, and don't forget about Long Island either

Yeah, also parts of Eastern Queens not too far from me that kind of bleed into Long Island. He also has some support among the Russians in my neighborhood.

r/EnoughTrumpSpam is as good as the_donald is bad

the Wit and Wisdom of Bill Kristol

On the other hand Kristol's a dumbshit motherfucker

Facetiousness aside, Clinton is much closer to the neocon foreign policy agenda than Trump.

TBH I'm not sure there is much separation between her foreign policy agenda and the neocon foreign policy agenda.

Before Frederik B tarzans into the thread again, I'm not saying that makes Trump "better" than her.

what is Trump's foreign policy agenda? nukes? take the oil? bullets dipped in pig's blood? kill the family of enemy combatants?

TBH I'm not sure there is much separation between her foreign policy agenda and the neocon foreign policy agenda.

― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive),

Let's say that the neocon agenda is closer to hers than Trump's.

since MSM is treating Trump like a normal person and nothing means anything anymore Clinton should just start going ham. WGAF. neither candidate is going to budge any voters at this point.

unless the MSM can scare some wavering idiot into thinking HRC is just so very frail

Though if some very smart, beautiful people start talking about the wisdom of neocon foreign policy that might not be the case anymore.

A president Trump would probably have the foreign policy agenda of whoever butters his ego the best.
