Feel this is slipping away

Virginia. NC. All of of it has turned red. Feel like we've been living a lie the last couple of months at this point. God damn it! What the fuck is wrong with this country.
He is only 93 away from winning at this point

Virginia is pink because he has a slight lead, however they haven't called Virginia for him. If you go to the bar at the top of the page and hover over the gray squares, Virginia is one of those squares. Virginia is still in play.

But his lead is only expanding. It's making me worry as all we've heard and been said is that we had all momentum but everything looks like shit right now

They both come from military families. Impossible to move them one bit. Will not listen to anything against him.
Can’t fathom it.

Their opinions about him are religious beliefs. They don't care about facts because they have faith. Speaking against him is blasphemy. Opposing him is evil. And so on.

The only way he can lose is if it’s rigged. That must mean he knows the rig is in his favor

it is early! and the record turnout and much higher enthusiasm for our side bodes well for Harris. I have not lost hope yet.

Rupert Murdoch has a stranglehold on a lot of southern states. We need to loosen that iron grip.

Lots of them have essentially made loyalty to Trump a tenet of their Christian faith.

The Electoral College is what is wrong, this rigged system that gives the power to the Republican states is what is wrong with our "Democracy"

Partly because it shouldn't be at all. For him to have this many votes is appalling. I mean seriously. It should be raining blue.

And rural areas are loaded with right wing radio and fox news. Social media feeds them more of the same.

And VA is turning our way. At this time of night, it looked bleak for Obama, too. The polls haven't even closed yet out here in CA. The blue wall is coming.

The fascist movement is a worldwide phenomenon right now and it was going to catch up to us eventually. It's all about populism, dwindling resources, and consolidating wealth among a chosen few.
