Just my guess.
With two obvious exceptions, 9 and 16. it's clearly obvious, no guessing required, that you wouldn't know a batard from a retard.

Have you seen most police? Most police officers are Trump supporters. If you are interacting with a cop, you're most likely interacting with a Republican. They don't believe in defunding police, etc, stuff that some Dems said that are haunting the party, like the abortion thing with Republicans.

90-95 of cops are Republicans.
"Defund the Police" was primarily a public reaction to the publicized killings inspiring BLM. Police aren't losing in the consequence, but there has been a shift in funding within some communities to address certain domestic or mental health situations with either police trained to deal with them or social-work professionals.

This only makes sense. Harris herself had prosecuted a schizophrenic woman who had gone off her meds, wielded a knife at police and then was crippled permanently by police bullets. Harris would rather show support to police in this prosecution than to prosecute the police instead.

More and more, I'm coming to find that a lot of the public dialogue with focus groups and individual "persons on the street" are uninformed or misguided by a failure to look at enough facts.

I have friends who are retired police officers, or whose 20th century attitudes would more likely be consistent with the myth. But they all support Harris.

What really distressed me recently was an encounter with a Latino couple at the local park where I take my daily 1-mile-walk exercise. I had asked them if they knew anything about cars, pertaining to filling the crankcase with oil. The woman seemed to have mechanical knowledge about cars, but not specific enough. Somehow, I shifted the conversation about whether they had voted yet. The woman said she didn't vote.

Her companion launched into an argument favoring Trump, because he figured that a woman president would be a pushover for strong autocrats like Putin, Xi and Little Rocket Man. Somehow he believes that balls and testosterone are a necessary qualification for the White House. I mentioned that Trump was a lifelong criminal with 94 felony counts in indictments and 34 convictions, or how that was a much more important consideration than his testosterone speculations. He responded to explain that he was a convicted felon, and so he couldn't vote anyway. But that wouldn't change his position. He somehow thinks it acceptable to elect a convicted felon to the White House.

I am ashamed and angry at how stupid so much of the country shows itself to be. These people don't pay attention to the news at all, or only pay attention to one news source. My brother tried to tell me Trump graduated from Harvard, having been a Trump supporter since 2015. I've never seen so much grievance-driven ignorance and stupidity, and so I am profoundly ashamed of my own country.

The election will prove how stupid we are as a people.

Everything else aside, how do you get into a conversation about car maintenance and politics with a random couple walking in the park?!

Doctors overall I’d say lean Harris. Maybe the highest paid docs, surgeons, rural docs lean Trump, but I can tell you the docs I know and the AMA community as a whole won’t forgive him for Covid mis-information and making women’s healthcare worse. Trump’s negative impacts on healthcare are widely documented in many peer-reviewed journals.

In our area, no amount of blackmail, oops I mean pay, will get police hired.

In the 00s, my pain management doc was a staunch Republican. IIRC, he was making north of $400k then…and that was in a relatively small city…Modesto, CA. His partner in the PM clinic was a neurosurgeon who referred many/most of his cases there…”let’s try some epidural injections before we cut.” I’m sure his income was well above “Doctor Feelgood’s”. He was also very right wing.

I guess we are important enough to be invaded by Russian trolls/bots.
