    I know I know.
    But some Hispanic subgroups - Particularly Mexico and points south - SHOULD have been uniformly horrified by Republicans.

    That's what you guys don't get. Conservatives welcome Latinos and Hispanics. Ones that are legally here.

    Liar.
    Stop fucking lying, liar.
    You make it harder and harder for the legal ones to get here.
    You'd think if you wanted them here, you'd make it easier.
    You don't.
    Stop fucking lying.
    Liar.

    The New York Times podcast "The Daily" had an episode last week that followed a Latino group on Pheonix that does voter registration and get out the vote events in Latino communities. They've registered something like 300,000 voters in the last four years.

    The founder and leader of the group said that the problem he runs into, even in his own circle of friends, is that for many in the Latino culture, Donald Trump is the embodiment of "tell it like it is" and "don't take crap from anyone" version of masculinity. We may not like it, but it is what it is. I think this is a similar reason he's so popular in the southeastern United States.

    Nice to see all the conservatives coming back to gloat. I hope that doesn't come back on you guys if Biden pulls it out.

    And it's happening...right now Trump is speaking, claiming victory, and saying they will be going to the Supreme Court to make "voting stop" because they don't want any more "ballots found".

    He's asserting "We were winning everything, and all of a sudden it was called off." Is he truly unable to comprehend how elections work, or is he just lying and counting on his supporters being stupid?

    CNN spent 20 minutes, 20 MINUTES prefacing his comments saying that he's going to lie. That he's going to lie. Do people not understand how absurd that is? How the media has to tell the people of the world that we need to be careful because POTUS is going to come out and tell outright, abject lies.

    There is no facepalm meme worthy of this embarrassment.

    Hearing the President of the United States declaring victory and saying that he wants the counting to stop is blatantly, openly authoritarian and undemocratic. No one, no one can defend that and retain any shred of respect and basic decency.

    Apparently at least 60 million of your country don't know, or know and just don't care.

    Does Trump realize if we go by the numbers at this moment, he loses?

    Is he retarded? I ask already knowing the answer.

    This is insane. I can't believe this asshole is going to (probably) win a second term. And the Senate...ugh.

    The Democrats have a lot of soul searching to do no matter what happens. This was a disaster.

    So just checking, do you honestly believe that counting people's votes is a fraud, or do you not care because it helps your chosen one?

    Every media outlet has Biden ahead though? And that's even before counting all of the record number of early/mail in ballots totalling almost 100 million votes.
