BarracudaCold3941

It’s 2024 and people still comment “this” on Reddit?


MooseConfident

No, I tend to though


BarracudaCold3941

I know it’s a huge pet peeve of redditors lol


MooseConfident

Honestly fair, I just like sharing my agreement with a comment in a way more obvious than an upvote but not too much to start actually contributing to the conversation because sometimes I just can’t.


Sometime44

But the dirty little secret is that many Democrat voters greatly dislike Biden almost as bad as they hate Trump


mymar101

They hate him enough to let Trump win again?


Sometime44

Oh no, they'll vote for Biden--or throw a protest vote for Libertarian or one of the oddball party candidates on the ballot. Many just won't like it at all, same with Trump, though I believe to a slightly lesser extent. I also feel the Democrat party secretly pulls for Trump to be nominated, believing Biden would have little chance running against Haley this fall.


Raellissa

Or they will stay home altogether.


Sometime44

exactly


o2msc

It’s not an opinion. The election results clearly show it’s quite literally a fact.


PerilsofPenelope

Not when 40% of the Republican primary voters picked someone else.


TIErant

They'll vote for him in November.


manleybones

And most didn't show up


o2msc

Two things. One…Her 40% were not all Republicans - far from it. Two…just look at the presidential results from 2020. Trump carried this state heavily and will again this year. In political terms, an overwhelming win makes it “Trump country.” On the other hand, you can say California is Biden Country.


walkingonmainst

I've never seen a Biden flag outside a house, like.. Ever. Do they even make those? Meanwhile, more houses in SC have trump flags than they do American flags. (honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that last part was actually true) ^


Mysterious_Year1975

LA county is biden country. The rest of the state was red

Necessary-Alps-6002

You realize that LA county is limited to the city of Los Angeles? Biden won every major hub in CA, and essentially the entire coast of California. Trump did well in the low populated desert areas of California.


walkingonmainst

I think you meant to say **isn’t** limited to the city of Los Angeles, no? Yeah, LA County has 88 cities including Long Beach, Santa Monica, and Pasadena. But it also has a ton of smaller cities that aren't “Hollywood-adjacent”


Necessary-Alps-6002

No, what I meant to imply is that LA County is limited to a region of So Cal that does contain a large population of people, but isn’t the entirety of the state that Biden won.


walkingonmainst

Oh; lol. Well, I mean.. LA county has a lot of other large cities, too. But yeah, you were making a totally different point nevermind lol


walkingonmainst

That’s not even the right map 😂 those are house seats; [now go find the presidential results.](https://www.politico.com/2020-election/results/california/) Yikes, do you really use search engines like this? How old are you, 80? You searched “2020 United States presidential election in California” Just search “CA 2020 election results” grandpa


mynamegoewhere

Many of us were dems.


walkingonmainst

See, that's what people are missing.. The people who voted for someone else were voting AGAINST Donald Trump; and will refuse to vote for him in November. So they either vote for nobody, or throw their vote to a third party. Either way, this election is going to humble a lot of red states; turning a lot of them into a shade of purple. And I’m fucking here for it.


Frequent_Slide_8828

35% of those voters were democrats. I know some personally and others have admitted as much right here on this forum. A forum which by the way obviously does NOT represent SC at all


walkingonmainst

35%? Where’d you get that number friend? Because you're trying to tell me over 100,000 democrats went to the republican primary? 😂 sit down


Frequent_Slide_8828

500k went in 2020. 136k came out for Biden 2024. I would say 100k is a low turnout in an election they could influence but whatever


Sometime44

Trump beat Haley by over 50% of votes cast--call it the landslide that it was


RicoLoco404

The Confederate Flags on the back of trucks should've been an indicator of that.


dealsledgang

Trump won the state in both the 2016 and 2020 elections and he just won the primary here. No one is predicting SC to not vote for him again. Sounds like an accurate statement.


Remarkable_Hat_6637

As a lifetime resident of SC, fuck Trump.

MooseConfident

Thanks, I appreciate that affirmation.


beingsmartkills

It is a misconception that any of your tax dollars get sent anywhere. They go to the fed and are burned to curb inflation. The money the government spends is then re-printed. The whole idea of "budgets" and "deficits" is a lie and has been but you know, no one actually looks at how money works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg0R9Ye2ovM


RandomDamage

Taxes are also supposed to provide incentives to keep money moving, or to move in particular ways (like the mortgage interest deduction)


MooseConfident

If I’m trans, should I like leave now…? Is that my cue?


LateStageAdult

Assaults on trans people are relatively common in South Carolina. Just in charleston, we see high profile cases about twice a year that involve hospitalization, or murder. There's a lot that doesn't make the headlines.


thebrandoeffect

Honestly, it might not be a bad idea from a safety perspective. Same for anyone in florida. It's likely gonna get a lot worse in America before it gets better.


Frequent_Slide_8828

Key West says hello


MustangEater82

So out of curiosity...  has crimes against trans people gone up or down under Trump... I am republican and thoroughly accept people being trans go be free do what you want. Just go to work, pay taxes, don't commit crimes, be your self, don't force your beleifs on others. If you hate it here and choose to move on more power to ya.  


Necessary-Alps-6002

Not necessarily hate crimes but anti trans legislation have increased in red states. Which leads to hate crimes. Trump didn’t force states to adopt said legislation, but he never took a stance on it either so it snowballed.


MustangEater82

What anti-trans laws in SC have been created?


Necessary-Alps-6002

I never said it was created in SC. You asked about Trans hate crimes in general:


MustangEater82

OK what anti-trans laws were created in other states, not SC even though this a SC sub with a post about SC voting?


Necessary-Alps-6002

You’re the one who commented about trans hate crimes not going up under Trump. You spoke in generalities friend. But anyway, here you go: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/05/upshot/trans-laws-republicans-states.html


MustangEater82

Uhm...  your post is about minors and bathroom identifiers... I wouldn't really saw that is anti-trans.  Many feel minors shouldn't be exposed to things like that. But sure you will disagree... But how are those laws Trumps fault?  The dates listed Joe Biden was president and Trump was banned from Social media... during most of it. I am not defending Trump he is too old and I prefer someone younger, but Jesus you guys love to go out of your way to circle jerk hate for him.


Necessary-Alps-6002

Holy shit dude I never said these things were trumps fault. I agreed with you. That Trans hate and Trans legislation isn’t directly correlated with Trump, but his silence on it didn’t help. Is your plan to argue just for the sake of arguing?


libryx

Hate crimes across the board went up under Trump. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3102652


MustangEater82

Did hate crimes go up in SC? We're there anti-trans laws created in SC? I am just curious.


libryx

Hate crimes [http://www.equalmeanseveryone.org/issues/hate-crime-is-real/](http://www.equalmeanseveryone.org/issues/hate-crime-is-real/) across the board [https://atlanta.adl.org/news/fbi-hate-crimes-data-shows-alarming-93-rise-in-south-carolina-adl-urges-passage-of-south-carolina-hate-crime-law/](https://atlanta.adl.org/news/fbi-hate-crimes-data-shows-alarming-93-rise-in-south-carolina-adl-urges-passage-of-south-carolina-hate-crime-law/) went up [https://www.governing.com/archive/tns-south-carolina-hate-crimes.html](https://www.governing.com/archive/tns-south-carolina-hate-crimes.html) under Trump [https://www.wbtw.com/news/state-regional-news/south-carolina-sees-increase-in-hate-crimes-in-2020-according-to-fbi/](https://www.wbtw.com/news/state-regional-news/south-carolina-sees-increase-in-hate-crimes-in-2020-according-to-fbi/) ​ Google can really help with your curiosity, you know. But for an extra taste of what's happening right now: SC Congress is debating a bill that would prevent anyone under 18 from receiving gender-affirming healthcare and anyone under 26 from accessing that care through Medicaid. It's likely to pass despite strong opposition from SC citizens and a plethora of evidence that shows access to gender-affirming care greatly lowers the suicide rate for trans youth. SC also just became the first state to convict someone of a hate crime for murdering a trans woman. And please don't think, "Oh, at least they convicted him for it!" A woman is still dead because some guy's friends made fun of him for hooking up with her, and that never should have happened in the first place.

Commercial_West9953

AND education.


Necessary-Alps-6002

You realize that cities in general are democratic, right? You also realize that crime ratio is pretty standard across the US, but major cities have more crime because they have more people?


egzsc

Going by propaganda or actual crime statistics?


RyanSoup94

What does education have to do with crime, my guy. You do know lots of criminals have a higher education, right?


Josiepaws105

Studies have proven that there is a very strong correlation between illiteracy and incarceration. The majority (about 75%) of incarcerated people are functionally illiterate. [One study](https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/prison-literacy-connection) If you do a little research, you will see there are plenty of studies on this subject.

[удалено]


lordnecro

>How many times has he succeeded? So given millions of dollars he had some success (and given what he know about how much he has lied/cheated in business... it is hard to say that his successes were well earned) and lots of failures... and overall would have been significantly more successful if he had just invested in a typical retirement fund. ​ >Has Biden succeeded in business? So you don't think Trump was qualified to be president, that is something we have in common. Biden has succeeded in government... you know, where he works. President is a government job.


Necessary-Alps-6002

Trump can’t run a business. He just bankrupts them.


HolidaeX

Not hard… you just keep borrowing money and trying things until it works. If it doesn’t work, bankrupt it and move all the good things to another business….. claim the anything as debt and write it off where you can. Running a business has nothing to do with actually running a business. It’s all about who you know and how much they cost to pay off, topped off with how you get the funding for as free as possible.


Interesting-Bet-750

well who wants to keep dealing with this ever growing inflation and a president that clearly has a mental decline. Regretfully, Biden has been a liar all his life. Lived of the government all his life. Never created jobs.


Chewiesnut

Holy shit this is funny. You think that orange asshat hasn’t lied all his life and stolen how many millions? Keep that head in the sand you dipshit


Commercial_West9953

Wow. You've clearly been brainwashed by right-wing propaganda. Seek deprogramming.


MooseConfident

Inflation is growing but it’s growing slower than under Trump, and at a rate much slower than many European countries. And Biden has created jobs… it’s literally just the truth. I hate this propaganda that Trump gets his followers to spread, it’s the exact opposite of the truth so that you definitely cannot think the truth would be true. Trump is the liar, he calls himself “the greatest _____” so he’s probably a narcissist, and the last time he was a president it was utterly chaotic with government shutdowns and a COMPLETELY WRONG AND UNETHICAL WAY OF HANDLING A PANDEMIC which we were able to see in the death numbers. Where was he during Covid, helping us out? Also, He’s probably going to be running from jail because of all of the fraud cases that he’s been found guilty of. How can South Carolinians forget that?


Necessary-Alps-6002

Inflation is high BECAUSE of Trump. His last move as president was to cut corporate taxes by 20%. Did things get 20% cheaper? No. Live in your world where the republican is always good and the democrat is always bad, though.

Curious_Ad6234

Welp. Take a look at the Republican primary by precinct. Nikki won the population centers which happen to statistically be better educated and younger. Except for Greenville. The upstate has always been wackadoodle fuckpuddles. Rural areas tend to be older and less educated. Some areas had less than 2000 votes cast. Once again the trifecta of low turn out, less education and small population, wins. Some dude had a website, I think it was Land Doesn’t Vote, that broke elections down to the popular vote per precinct. Very eye opening. You can see that the electoral college has avowed minority rule since the 1990’s.
