    I had to turn off the sound to save my screen.

    Good news in Michigan.

    As Obama said a lot of trumps win in 2016 was a delayed reaction to his win in 2008 and 2012. There are a lot of not very nice folk in the USA and I’m afraid trump has just fuelled their prejudices. 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.

    Important to remember that most natives of New York (or any big city, or the west coast, Pacific North West and Boston and New England) look at what’s happened since 2016 with the same bafflement as we do. Two Americas.

    Didn’t meet one New Yorker who supported trump. Such a vibrant city and felt totally safe. A true reflection of the good of America.

    They'll be the ones that'll follow his medical advice and leave the vaccines for everyone else.

    It's a strange country to visit. I had my own mind set of how Americans would be.
    First visited in 1992 and in 2 weeks didn't hear anyone swear and everyone I spoke to was nice and polite. Changed my mindset.
    Hard to believe 70 million of them voted for Mad Mad Jack McMad

    There's at least one poster on here that lives in New York and supports Trump.


    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 :-)

    Looks like ca. 3,7 million New Yorkers voted Biden while 2.8 million voted Trump - who increased his share of the vote from 2016 - you need to try harder

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

    Trump has his pals and some major donors amongst the Manhattan elite and then you have the classic blue collar, mostly white borough of Staten Island which is widely regarded as 'Trump Country' by their fellow New Yorkers.
    The wider state of New York is much more Trumpest than you would imagine.

    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.

    That's unfair, there's also the possibility that they're simply selfish, naive, misogynistic, uneducated, homophobic or simply willing to turn a blind eye to all the aforementioned to get a few extra cents on their pension.

    Wow, that is really moving.


    I wish all the numbskulls protesting on the streets about (non-existent) election fraud, plus the other numbskulls in the Whitehouse, would watch this.

    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.

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

    My thoughts exactly.

    That's surely incitement to fix the vote in his favour.

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

    I understand that the senate is voting for a new senator in Georgia.

    Is trump trying to influence an election?
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    That could well backfire on the Republicans, here's hoping eh.

    I’m sure he says that the Georgia official committed an illegal offence. I suppose that could be considered a threat considering his position.

    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.
