It's funny I see this interviews etc... and I'm still not convinced
the dumbest rural 24/7 fox news watching, over 50 year old, truck driving, mozzarella stick and ice cream treat eating, "Applebee's, redlobster and olive garden are fancy eatin" Hogs will never vote in a democrat.
Like if Kansas, Iowa, or Nebraska flips blue maybe I'll change my mind
if Mississippi flips blue I'll go to church
Best you can hope for with people that deep in the red mindset is to discourage them from voting. They can't bring themselves to vote for a "Dumbocrat", but if they hate their own party's option enough, they won't vote for them either, just stay home in miserable despair.
That's what we have to hope for.
I thought we were supposed to encourage everyone to vote though
I don’t really believe this. Yes, a lot hate data centers but they blame dems.
They blame dems, but it seems like they see the less mainstream democrats that are pushing away from the corporate dems as more promising, like there have been a handful of former Trump voters who said they liked Mamdani because he's doing something different and trying to make things more affordable for average people.
Some Republican operatives called a bunch of voters who flipped from Trump to Mamdani and asked why? And some of them said Mamdani was conservative. The operatives were like no he's not he's socialist, to which they said Mamdani was talking about things being affordable, which is a conservative position. These people really are fucking stupid as shit.
Conservative rural voters are already demonstrably susceptible to propaganda.
Ms. Whitmer you killed your career over buildings

Nah, pedonald is still at 36%, nothing will change that.
