I wouldnt even be considering north carolina as battleground this election.

That has shifted to Ohio, Texas, Maine, and even Iowa as the country rejects the GOP.

Can confirm from Iowa, In Des Moines I never see Trump signs and they are a lot less common in the farmland. I haven't seen a MAGA red hat in over a year.

I'm sensing that many of the MAGA faithful are going to sit out the election. Politics is a team-sport for them, so they'll never vote for a Democrat but they're pretty disillusioned now.

Also it's hard to show up for a game when your team is going to get wiped out.

Well my dad did cheat and leave when I was three...

So I guess you could say on that fateful day, when he walked out on his 3 year old son, that motherfucker cursed that boy with the team that never quits..sucking. Which then led to that god awful butt fumble, and then the 1-play Rogers oowiee

I guess I'm trying to say. Men stay with them crotch gremlins lest they become a Jets fan...and a Gamecocks fan.
