"In conjunction with abortion is the other layered-in kind of Republican social agenda that is just so repellent to the country," a Democratic campaigner in suburban Bucks County told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Voters in the largest swing county in the most important swing state uniformly rejected that."

Opinion | Trump’s ugly rant in Minnesota shows why Republicans fear he’ll lose - The Washington Post
President Trump’s shattering of the “blue wall” states in 2016 shocked many observers into believing that he possesses a quasi-mystical grasp of the values and aspirations of rural and small-town Whites in the industrial Midwest. Elite journalists flayed themselves mercilessly for remaining cosseted in their coastal bubbles and missing the story of the Real American Voter.
But Trump’s latest rant at a rally in Minnesota — along with a new election forecast that shows him losing Midwestern Whites and a new report on rising GOP anxiety about Trump — strongly suggests his preternatural grasp of the region might have deserted him, if he ever possessed it at all.....

St. Louis Couple Is Trump's Pitch to the Scared Suburbs - The Atlantic
...As an accompanying video produced by the RNC panned from crowds of protesters back to the cloistered McCloskeys, the implication was clear: The "criminals" and "mob" are Black, while "honest citizens" are white. "These radicals are not content with marching in the streets. They want to walk the halls of Congress," Mark McCloskey warned. "They want to take over. They want power. This is Joe Biden's party."
The McCloskeys, who have spent decades suing their neighbors and family members to protect their property, want power too. They have asserted "squatter's rights" on a patch of shared land in their subdivision, sued a dog breeder who sold them a German shepherd, and destroyed beehives that were part of the education curriculum at a synagogue next door to their property, threatening legal action if the congregation didn't clean up the mess, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch recently reported.
