    My dad (lives in El Paso) was born in Mexico and became a citizen in 1997. When I talked to him the other day, he said that he knew plenty of people voting for Trump because he sent them a stimulus check. But, if you listen to the libs on my FB feed, it's cause those mexican people are racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.

      Honestly, there's a part of me that wonders how big Trump would have won if he'd just rammed through another check with his name on it.

          Could have been way worse for Dems. Trump doing a Reagan '84 on the corpse of the party, without even the token opposition in the House to kettle the fascism.

          It's not like Democratic turnout was low. Republican turnout was just way higher than Democrats believed possible.

        Thank Allah that the Republican Party is almost as dumb as the Democratic party.
