My mom dropped the "If Trump wins I'm moving to Canada" the other day. Usually I think there's like a 0% chance of something like that happening, but we have family in Canada and it seems like they have actually thought it through. LOL.

It's a clickbait-y headline but a legit article from Politico.

The One Weird Trait That Predicts Whether You’re a Trump Supporter

Quote:
That’s right, Trump’s electoral strength—and his staying power—have been buoyed, above all, by Americans with authoritarian inclinations. And because of the prevalence of authoritarians in the American electorate, among Democrats as well as Republicans, it’s very possible that Trump’s fan base will continue to grow.
For Sando:

So what does this mean for the election? It doesn’t just help us understand what motivates Trump’s backers—it suggests that his support isn’t capped.

Trump is a master of the message that he'll assert himself on the Others. People from vastly different groups can feel this way listening to the same message. They leave satisfied that he's going to put his foot down on Those Problem Others.

Maybe consider a less biased source. It was a public events facility that can be reserved for... you guessed it... public events, such as a political rally that draws 7,000 people. He didn't kick people out of a shelter.

There must be a malfunction in the bot, because CDL is defending these homeless people that clearly didn't work hard enough to afford their own home. Ironically, CDL is probably opposed to public funding of homeless shelters. If Birmingham adequately funded shelters, they wouldn't have to bring out cots on cold nights at their events center.

"I knew last week that the city used the warming station upstairs, but not downstairs. We had no idea that the warming station would be closed. We were downstairs, they would be upstairs. That's what we knew," said Kelvin Datcher, state director for the Sanders campaign.

"There was never any conversation about the warming station. Not only did the senator not know, I didn't even know. They were relying on me to relay information up the chain. Had that been a concern, we absolutely would've acted on it," Datcher said.

so its a good thing that his staff doesn't bother figuring these things out ahead of time and that he wasn't willing to relocate the rally on the fly once he learned of it last night?
