Tbh, I stopped watching TDS when Stewart left and the cast scattered. Noah took a long time to find his voice.

Yeah, what *are* they going to do in the event that Trump loses? They're so invested in this, they really have no Plan B whatsoever--Costa Rica? Sheesh.
Trump supporters post-Trump would be like the cats removed from a cat lady's house; that is, in the sense that the vast bulk of them are in such a state that they'd require euthanization or some kind of drastic emergency medical treatment before they're even fit for adoption...

I expect it will be a replay of the Tea Party after 2008. Corporate donors will keep them politically activated.

Fun fact: The organization that is responsible for the Parental Advisory labels on certain music albums? It's co-founded by Tipper Gore, the ex-wife of Al Gore. In protest, many of these rappers support Republicans, despite many Republicans being Evangelical Christians who find rap music not only repulsive but sinful.Trump's got some rappers supporting him. I always hated rap music. Too much violence misogyny & homophobia for my liking. No wonder rappers love Trump.
With Lil Wayne, Ice Cube And 50 Cent, Trump Makes Final Push For Black Voters
The Trump campaign has spent more than $20 million on a strategy to appeal to Black voters. But a big part of Trump's message is about what Black people shouldn't vote for Joe Biden.www.npr.org
World Star Hip Hop Features Black Voter Canvassing for Trump: 'He Ain't a Racist, and a Damn Good President'
World Star Hip Hop posted a video featuring a black Trump supporter canvassing for the president, and convincing a voter to drop Joe Biden.www.breitbart.com
Me, like Tipper Gore, I am a progressive who finds rap music personally repulsive (but have no interest in forcing my views on others).

I have no bone against rap per se--in Tipper Gore's 1980s, especially, it could be exhilarating. But in cases like this, pro-Trump rappers are really little or no different from pro-Trump rockers: people with nouveau riche values sticking with someone who represents their own nouveau riche values, and sticking it to those who resent the same.

I agree, at first I couldn't stand him, but I've really come to appreciate his wit and charm.

Yep. A Trump rally could actually be confused for a David Allan Coe concert or a Ted Nugent concert.

Republicans suppressing votes to keep Texas from turning blue.

A federal judge in Texas scheduled an emergency hearing for Monday on whether Houston officials unlawfully allowed drive-through voting and should toss more than 100,000 votes in the Democratic-leaning area.

The fact that they have to do that in Texas says a lot.

Just goes to show how worried people are that Biden will win.
It also shows how extreme Trumps supporters are

And also--do they really think that blockading a Biden/Harris bus and thwarting a rally is going to dissuade voters? With word getting around, it might even elevate the determination of those Dems who had been looking forward to said rally.
It's sort of like: in the midst of his act, does a crazed mass shooter *really* think he's drawing sympathy? (Other than among a small enclave of disturbed-fellow-traveller Redditors, of course)
Yeah, I guess the Dem voters are "guilty". By refusing to be intimidated into voting for Trump or away from the polling station, they're implicitly stating, "bring the Boogaloo on". *They're* the instigators. It's all *their* fault. Etc. Etc.
