How the hell you ever get the USA back to something like an even keel seems an impossible task when Alex Jones still gets tens of millions following his total lunacy. Sad times that it’s like that as I so enjoy going there on hols especially New York.
It's his version of the truth and that's good enough for 70 million Americans.Quote:

It's a strange country to visit. I had my own mind set of how Americans would be.Quote:

Hard to believe 70 million of them voted for Mad Mad Jack McMad

I have opposing political views but I don't think demonizing people helps.
Edit: Just to clarify, I'm not saying you were demonizing anybody :-)

New York City isn't the complete Liberal panacea we all imagine it to be.Quote:

Obviously the more rural counties to the north, up to the border with Canada are majority Trump in support but more importantly its the huge urban expanse beyond Brooklyn and Queens that goes deep into the heart of Long Island that is majority Trump too.
This is communities such as Levittown, an area which was the forerunner to the classic American suburban neighbourhoods that appeared all over America post WW2.
These 'white flight' towns are the real battle ground and in New York state Trump is surprisingly popular.
I’m aware of the new nuances of New York. I merely stated that I didn’t meet one person who supported trump when I was there and I have friends who have been there who say the same. Maybe all the trump supporters are like the tories here who stay quiet and never tell the pollsters their true voting intentions. One of my favourite places in the world to visit and nothing like I was led to believe by some media outlets in the USA.
Can I demonise them. If you support trump you are either an idiot or a racistQuote:

The problem is how entrenched they all are. I had a look at a site called christianchat.com and they are shutting down anyone who voted Biden as being anti-Christian and anti-American. These are the people who follow the televangelists who ate telling them that God said Trump would win. They view anything supporting Biden as satanic. And they are a decent sized voting bloc with closed minds.Quote:

Caught on tape trying to blackmail the Georgia governor to fix the election. Surely that’s a chargeable offence in about 3 weeks time?

I'm what way did he try to blackmail him? The bit at the end about the election "coming up on Tuesday"?Quote:

Is trump trying to influence an election?
That could well backfire on the Republicans, here's hoping eh.Quote:

There is a senate run off election in Georgia on Tuesday for two senators. If the Democrats win both then they take the house and have control of all three branches of govt.Quote:
