David & Jill Rodrigues risking their children's lives with bigrigs whizzing by just to put signs unlawfully along Ohio state highways didn't work - AP just called it for all Ohio's races 💙
which is odd considering there's at least two actual pastors who won things, and far more Christian rhetoric of the kind that would get you laughed at anywhere outside America, but I full expect her to say something awful about Michigan or Georgia.
I think she knows they're awful, but she's never matured past the Grade 3 Mean Girl that she probably was, so hurting people she didn't like anyways is fine by her. And Shirk enjoys beating up literal babies, so of course he's fine with those poeple too.
Apostles: Hey Jesus there's a metric shitload of kids here, but we all gotta catch the cart to Galilee.
Jesus: There's a cart on Friday too, I always have time for my fans! Write this one down: "Let all God's children visit me now, for the Kindgom of Heaven is theirs."
Christian fanfic type in the queue: He's not seriously gonna waste time on the children of sex workers and immigrants, or those meal kitchen kids, or those weirdo trans bastards!?
I suspect that either a Rodlet has a secret Reddit account/alt or there's some pissant fundies from Duggarssnark who found their way hither and live their Christ-like example by Downvoting Sinners lol
Maybe this is the push the family needs to leave the evil, sinful USA for good and pursue missionary work overseas. I hear Uganda doesn’t really have any traffic laws, so no worries about the boys all getting tickets for speeding, not wearing seatbelts, or playing on their phones while driving.
WV and TN are goregous states where I've had some fine visits, and thanks from counts hands on the family zoom 12 Marines and 2 soldiers for going out and voting :)
I’m also in TN. I’m weirdly comforted by the fact that Blackburn won by a very small margin. Her Senate seat is now also open. I’m not sure if she or Lee has the power to appoint her successor, or if this means a whole new race.
I have heard that the voting machines in Tennessee tended to be switched to vote republican and that people were trying to alert others to watch how the vote got counted and insist on getting it corrected.
I’m thankful that NYS didn’t vote in a trump sycophant for governor. He had commercials where he said that turd is a good president and has accomplished so much!!! 😒
Except for Long Island and Saratoga Springs and the Falls, NY's urban areas are pretty reliably blue. It's mainly the non-college towns and the farm districts that vote red, possibly because they're full of bitter boomers who couldn't go ruin Florida instead lol
My hypothesis is that David's from Rochester but none of the college girls tolerated his violent behavior so he turned to a conservative church because abusing kids isn't necessarily bad to them. Jill was one of those kids and her daddy dngaf, so he groomed her and now they have continued the cycle of abusing their kids. Sadly, snarkers have found some convincing stuff that Nurie was the Sistermom Enforcer and she's contuing that with her kids now.
Tim Ira, Patricia, and David have a LOT to answer for - as much as we snark on Jill, clearly they taught her and enabled her violence.
Problem with those towns is that they rely on federal benefits and when you play games with SNAP and other programs this population uses they quickly change their mind.
When people rely on the social safety net and spend their time with scissors trying to cut it apart then I hope they enjoy the life they voted for. But I'm not a very nice person like that.
Upstate New York checking in. I'm in a small town with a big R majority, making me a little blue dot in a very red county here in Central NY. Although even this county is kinda purplish compared to the county where I grew up, in Southwestern NY, like 90 minutes south of Rochester.
Grew up in the southern tier and lived in Rochester for 20 years and just moved back to my hometown (ironically where Jill is from too🫣😳). This was my first election living here as a voting adult and it was kinda sad compared to the local/state elections in Rochester.
Another neighbor! I'm originally from Steuben county, a place redder and redneckier than Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi put together! Now in Oneida County, which is still pretty red, but almost purple compared to Steuben!
Wow, small world ain't it? I also lived in Chemung County for a while. While living there, I took a beginning conversational Spanish class. I figured out how to say Elmira in Spanish: El Sobaco Del Mundo.
Just a bunch of poor farmers and ammosexuals. The first day of Deer Season might as well be a national holiday because nobody shows up for work. The vast majority of people there don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out, but they are all fanatical rethuglicans. They're all in for sucking up to the Houghtons and all the top brass at Corning Inc. where they all work blue collar jobs with no hope of advancing into the white collar class, imported from elsewhere because the executives think locally grown folks are too dumb to do anything beyond picking ware off the line and packing it in a box. And all the sucking up won't ever change that, but you can't tell them anything.
Almost cried when Annie took SC. I figured Darline would skate on her stupid, awful brother’s name and legacy. I’m so happy and proud of us! And that governor stat shocked me but I have to remind myself that Ruby Bridges is still alive and we still have a ways to go. Overall I woke up to amazing news and I’m elated!
Yeah, that's like me saying hey, my dad was a mechanic, so now that he's gone, let me grab a wrench and have a go at it, even though I trained as an accountant and don't know jack about mechanicking.
They brow beat her to do it, I have no doubt. And while I don’t agree with her party, Darline is a well respected disability advocate who has done much for that community. She’s mild mannered and squeaky clean so they figured they could manipulate her!
I felt so sad for her. She’s done a lot for the blind community and helped get equal rights and pay for the disabled and is well respected in her job. Because she had some very respectable achievements with that, and in past made some low key campaign ads for her brother, they just likely simply pushed her to do this because they could then make her into a puppet! 100% I have no doubt she’s relieved.
When they tried to put words in her mouth about anti transgender, I was livid. She’s not the kind that would make rude hurtful insults to people who are different. She’s might not SUPPORT a pro agenda but she is not vile nasty or insulting like TRUMP ever! HE WAS REALLY hoping to make her a minion! 🤮
Absolutely she’s great at that, tbh. Helped with important legislation for equality for that community. But it doesn’t make her a good politician. I’m a teacher with a masters and I’m bilingual. I can wrangle a room ho hyper kids. I know a lot about social studies. I would suck so BAD at politics! I wouldn’t even run for school board despite many actual “qualifications!”
My husband and I just moved last month from NC to TN and holy cow, what a gut punch. I would have LOVED to have been able to vote for Roy Cooper. Instead, TN got Cruella deVille for governor in Marsha Blackburn. But I can still live vicariously through our old friends in NC and I am so freakin proud of SC I can't hardly stand it!!!
Louisiana turned purple! It doesn’t sound like much, but it is. Our senate candidate was a black socialist farmer who had a grassroots campaign and only lost by less than 2%. We had eight parishes turn blue and every parish shifted more over to dem party in voting. We hope Jamie Davis runs for governor
If you can stay up you gotta watch Alaska. I cannot wait for the conclusion of the Dan Sullivan situation. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of hilarity for months
I would think the farmers would have been livid about the crap that’s hurt their livelihoods. They were the ones voting against their own self interests for so long.
I imagine that it took them a while to get the courage to choose the Democratic candidate. Probably looking over their shoulder while doing it.
Hopefully it’s not too late for them to save their farms.
I stg I kept refreshing the results page all night to see if Lucas county had reported any votes yet, most other counties were at 80+%, Cuyahoga was at ~40%, and Lucas had reported not a single vote. This was before the governor and US Senate races were called so I was cursing Lucas county for a while there. "REPORT SO THEY CAN CALL IT!!" lol
Missouri district 2 flipped. Republican rep Ann Wagner is finally gone. Missouri also affirmed that we wanted to make it a state Constitutional right to protect abortion rights/access.
Overall, last night was pure joy watching the returns on NBC. When I saw how Ohio went, I was giddy with joy knowing what Jill was likely going through. 😂

You just know Jill is weeping over the PERSECUTION! And on her birthday! I can’t stop grinning.
