Ummmm yeah. Glad you are catching on.  
 

Ummm yeah.   I’m pointing out Hispanics care about the border and immigration much more than you want to admit.   It’s a given they care about the economy.

I had friends telling me they were voting for trump in 2016 because their family members could be citizens but were just too lazy. I have known that some people vote like that for a long time. There are also women that voted for Trump because of his stance in abortion it doesn't mean it's the deciding factor in the election. Ladder pullers have always existed and it's a sentiment Republicans do well with especially with Trump. He draws in a lot of the f#&% you I got mine type energy that resonates with a lot of the country.

Didn't the Biden  admin decree that any school receiving federal funds must allow males in women's sports?

Biden's executive order was a relatively boilerplate emphasis on enforcing the Supreme Court's decision and precedent as federal law, namely in Bostock v. Clayton, which the majority opinion described as “It is impossible to discriminate against a person for being homosexual or transgender without discriminating against that individual based on sex.” They said Title IX and other federal laws “prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, so long as the laws do not contain sufficient indications to the contrary.”

Biden didn't decide that precedent, the Supreme Court did, and until such a time as the law is changed trans athletes can not be banned carte blanche from competing in their respective gendered sports. They can still though, be subject to organizational mandates of hormone levels, hormone treatments, legal declarations and so forth.

 That is, political conservatives are more charitable than political liberals at the overall level

“When I started doing research on charity,” Brooks wrote, “I expected to find that political liberals — who, I believed, genuinely cared more about others than conservatives did — would turn out to be the most privately charitable people. So when my early findings led me to the opposite conclusion, I assumed I had made some sort of technical error. I reran analyses. I got new data. Nothing worked. In the end, I had no option but to change my views.”

The first meta data analysis link is the real key but it still would take a lot to unpack all the studies they used and how political affiliation is determined. It includes Brooks citations which are the subject of the option piece you link plus more. Both give a lot of "charity" for institutions they specifically use. Liberals are also more likely to live in areas of higher tax and conservatives live in places that receive more in government assistance with lower taxes. 

There are definitely are a whole hell of a lot of good Christians that are very charitable and give a lot of money and their time to help around their own community. They will mostly only vote for a Republican no matter how much a candidate is very obviously not a Christian and against their actual values. That doesn't change him pulling in a lot of votes from who just enjoy the a$$h@!e vibes.  

 
Can someone point me to the number of little girls being run over former male athletes, and how many times it would have to happen to become a national issue?

As you should be able to tell by the reality we live in, the number of times it happens has zero correlation towards whether it becomes a national issue. 

Even if it happened zero times, the self-generating media fear apparatus would invent murky and false details about an actual woman to be turned into a trans issue.

I learned that not all college campuses are safe rooms and antisemitic protestors.


The video in the upper right shows students running out of their dorms for an election celebration on the soccer field. Unlike the pro hamas protests, no students were blocked from attending classes the next day....other than maybe some with hangovers. :cowbell:

The videos here are surprising.
