Vee

Wow:

So far the Black support does not appear to be materializing in EV at the level the GOP kept hyping up. Meanwhile:

As I told people here on 1/6, she was very upset on the day of the insurrection. I remember her taking me to the Capitol and those halls as a kid when she took me to work. But other than that she's always been a pillar of strength. She was ready to fight the morning after in 2016 when I was extremely defeated and she's never stopped doing her part. I think she'll probably be fine, but I'm just very mindful of violence following or surrounding this election.

Thank you all for all you do. My mother (who has done her share of phone banking, canvassing, etc. even in her 80s, and worked on Capitol Hill and in the very buildings from 1/6 for many years) is going to Harris' rally at the Ellipse tomorrow. Even before I knew she planned to go I was concerned for Kamala, given the fact that she was going to be live at a site so emblematic of the riot - I think right now anything is possible in terms of violence. I didn't tell my mother not to go, but I did tell her to be careful and go with a friend.

The outlier folds:

I'm sorry, but no one in the mainstream is going to care about or even hear about right wing influencers pushing some random joke George Lopez made at some rally and equate that with this display. If I have no idea what that is, Joe Public has even less.

George Lopez? What is that even about? No. It's okay to call something what it is: A disaster for Trump. Do I personally think this rally is the magic bullet that destroys his campaign utterly and leads to 400 electoral votes? No. We still have to win it next week and I think we will, based on current voting and polling. But he is not invincible, he's lost more than once and he's kept on losing. And this whole thing has imploded on him and may well impact him on the day. Regardless, the press is not going to turn around tomorrow and call it a free-spirited romp. We still have to be vigilant, but that's not happening.

To their credit, the media with the exception of USA Today and Fox have been full throated in calling the MSG Trump rally what it was: A racist sideshow. In other news, more of this is happening at the Post. Per Dana Milbank, of all people:

This is just not true. I already posted several of the mainstream media headlines upthread. Almost all of them with the exception of USA Today and Fox look exactly like this: Scrambling:

I love when these rando accounts come out of suspended animation to pull crazy shít. It's a consistent pattern on SON over the last 5 years at least. Almost always the same type of minimal to suddenly high activity volume and attention-getting behavior. Never gets old.

Meanwhile: Even sex pest and former Trump Whisperer Thrush is spooked:

So if you have an opinion on a Black soap being too Black it's objective, and if anyone disagrees it's reactionary. Got it.

It's a bit late to complain that Beyond the Gates is a Black-run show featuring a majority Black cast. Good luck with B&B though.

Even the Times has had enough:

That's something I pointed out over the last two or three pages: They're all suddenly herding to a tie now vs. posting tiny Trump leads and calling that 'huge momentum' because they're now coming back to Earth vs. the sugar high of pretending there's a big Trump comeback. And in most key states Harris is either up or at the very least tied. If anything I think it shows we've regained momentum after a foggy week or two. Meanwhile, look at the Black/Latino numbers re: Harris posted earlier or at the shift in voters building in Nevada or Michigan over the last two days. I don't think you can call that inexorable Trump momentum. Just the opposite. Already in NV you have Republicans whining and tweeting that the steal has begun. That's where we are today. Meanwhile: When you look at the numbers whether it's about polling, approval, voter turnout and the shifting over the weekend, as Jain and others have said, doom city just does not pan out.
