A ‘country club’ is not in the country, generally. It’s located within metropolitan areas near the wealthy, high end suburbs, and it’s basically just a resort with no residential parts.

Do they actually believe this? Country clubs are surely full of wealthy people, but do we really have much evidence of them being more arrogant and snobbish than other wealthy people?

JFK conspiracy theorists- a group which includes a majority of Americans- pretty much believe that LBJ/Israel/the KGB/ancient Egyptian deities/the mafia/the KKK killed him. The ‘actually still alive’ niche in American conspiracy lore is reserved for rappers.
On the other hand, there’s plenty of 9/11 truthers claiming thé buildings were never hit by a plane, with explanations ranging from ‘magic’ to convoluted ideas about Air Force stunt pilots and nanothermite.

JFK faked his own death and changed his name to Tupac, he’s still alive in the Illuminati hotel in Cuba.

It can, of course, be noted that had Hamas just stopped ripping apart everything Israël allowed in to build bombs and shoot them at Israël, thé blockade would have gotten a lot lighter very quickly.

Well yes, this is a psychological difference between conservatives and progressives; conservatives tend to have much more agency.

Texas is just going to ban drag shows again, with slightly different wording.

If we want to be pedantic- the destruction of the German overseas-deployed squadron earlier in the war decided the outcome of the battle of Jutland, which changed the conclusion of the war from 'draw' to 'decisive central powers defeat'.

Americans remember that there’s some association with French and canada. Not sure they know the term ‘Quebec’.

No, in Texas they have them at shops/restaurants in the gay/counterculture districts. The activists who protest them are protected by police and periodically these restaurants get a bill for backtaxes on hosting a sexually oriented performance without registering as a strip club(this stunt is probably the right way to react to this stuff and it got Glenn Hegar, the state's top tax collector at the time, an appointment to the chancellorship of Texas A&M).

I don’t know. I do know that the unions are very upset about the Dem position on data centers.
AFAIK pit bull data is based off of lots of different sources which mutually add up. Many of these sources, like animal shelter personnel or police officers, can be taken as better at identifying dog breeds than average. Even pit bull breeders seem to recommend that it isn’t for first time dog owners.
That doesn’t mean every pit bull everywhere is A Problem, because as you point out it’s a varied group. But it does gesture to an issue with the group as a whole.

No? You have the same working class you’ve always had, except now they (pretend to)speak Spanish and have darker skin.

Americans see Canada as ‘not actually foreign but a different country, it’s cold up there, hockey, maple syrup, some of them speak French, socialized healthcare you need to wait on’. Not totally accurate, but more nuanced than ‘has beavers’.

Puerto Rican citizens have the right to migrate to America. Basically all of them did; it’s not one of the big Latin American countries and they’re one of the most represented ethnicities among Latinos in America. Guam and American Samoa are less notable, largely because there’s just so fewer of them. US territories have very large percentages of population living in the continental USA.

And military procurement is by default going to be tightly regulated because a lot of this stuff is illegal for civilians to possess.

In 2024?
2020, sûre, Biden was relatively popular despite concerns about his age. But after the debate where he promised to beat Medicare?

In a versus Biden election, republicans might have swung New Jersey, Virginia, Minnesota, Maine(at large), New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Rhode Island. Thats much more than 15 EV. Biden was incredibly unpopular because he belonged in a memory care facility.
I agree that California was still not in play. But you’re underrating thé effect of ‘our candidate can speak in complete sentences’.

The GOP would nominate Desantis(probably the donor favorite) or Abbott(probably the party insider favorite) or Rubio(a compromise position) very quickly. All of whom would destroy the senile Biden in a debate. The GOP would also benefit from the disgusted by Trump crowd no longer having to grit their teeth over trump. I think the GOP pulls an incredible map in this scenario- thé democrats were just incredibly unpopular.

Centraco migrants, even legal ones, seem to prefer work to welfare- like other Hispanics in general.
That doesn’t mean they won’t take free stuff they’re eligible for. But these aren’t Somalis. They’re not ultra-clannish or opposed to work. Im continually baffled by thé attempts to portray Hispanic immigration as bad because they are lazy(in general, they are not) as opposed to because of the negative effects on wages, the breakdown of law and order, or because of the bad things that actually do go along with Hispanic social norms.

You do not get a permanent underclass, you get a browner local working class, they intermarry with natives.

A not-Trump GoP candidate would still have beaten Kamala like a drum and, after instituting a state cultus of Trump, would then proceed to enact a much more effective agenda. Trump himself has largely failed to crown himself with laurels; a not-Trump candidate taking up the torch would probably have not only tried but succeeded in doing so.
About 60%, last time I checked.
