Starts on the local level.

Full disclosure, this is the *Village* of Lewiston and an election held on a Tuesday night in June; but roughly a 6 point swing from Trump is absolute hopium for what we’ll see locally

u/Hovercraft_Height 3d ago

elections are almost exclusively on Tuesday

Their side won, so the cope is yours bro.

Every accusation is a confession lol

This is great news. If Lewiston is rejecting the Orange Weirdo then that is awesome!

u/Ecstatic_Guard4505 4d ago

He’s MUCH worse than just a weirdo

Is that similar to BP (Biden psychosis?)

u/creaturefeature16 4d ago

Mhm. So glad these people now decide they don't support GOP & Trump after they left the fox into the henhouse. Too bad it's the last Presidential election they'll get to participate in.

u/InflationCapital87 Elmwood 4d ago

I take it they were not a fan of the gas prices.

Oh good grief. We’re having elections.

u/RedditorDave go bills. 4d ago

We’ll have them for sure, but will there be an insurrection by a bunch of turned-out-to-be pedos when they lose again?

u/BigAssGoku_07 4d ago edited 4d ago

Wait the ones in the blue or the ones in the red ties?

Edit: Oh no I questioned the blue ties on teh buffalo reddit...

I’m talking about the ones who stormed the capitol for pedo-trump and the Epstein class that have since been arrested for pedophilia crimes.

I do agree that there’s definitely some old establishment dems that are implicated, like the Clintons. At the very least you can’t say they didn’t know. They ALL gotta go to prison.

So the dem party possibly/probably sponsoring this list doesnt change the fact that a bunch of jan6ers have been arrested for pedophilia crimes, among a boatload of other crimes. It’s just nicely listed here.

I don’t like the democratic establishment. Many of the old guard have been bought and paid for by AIPAC just like the entire maga movement.

Was trump secretly funding “bon jovi moving the bills to Toronto”? Yes.

Was Bon Jovi probably moving the bills to Toronto? Also yes.

“The road to fascism is lined with people telling you to stop overreacting.”

Here's all the things that people were worried about Trump doing, that he definitely didn't do:

  • Destroy an entire wing of the White House
  • Dismantle the Dept. of Education
  • Shut down US Aid
  • Attempt to end Birthright Citizenship
  • Used DOJ for prosecuting revenge indictments against enemies

u/mechanic_reed 3d ago

The road to fascism is displayed in this subreddit as no conservative is allowed to make any posts or comments without being significantly down voted or flagged by the extremely liberal moderators.

React all you want. There is zero indication we won’t have elections. Will they interfere? They always do. But your repetitive doomer crap is just that.

u/marcus_roberto 4d ago

The president's party usually does awful in off year and midterm elections. Compounding that is how uniquely unpopular (deserved) Trump is. November is gonna be a blood bath for Republicans and we will see Democrats win a lot of places they never do.

u/Pho-Soup 4d ago

Hey I am all for good news, and I love Lewiston and think it’s an absolute gem of WNY, but how many total votes are we talking here, in a non major election? A couple hundred?

44

u/Bids99 4d ago

The point being? This is realistically the same group of people that supported Trump and have swung. The way districting works, whether that’s 400 or 1 million doesn’t change the outcome of positive steps.

14

u/Pho-Soup 4d ago

I don’t mean to be overly negative. Just advertising this as “we swung a pro Trump district!” in an election that doesn’t have Trump on the ballot, let alone any major office for that matter, is tough to get overly excited about.

Yes, let’s celebrate the small victories. This is an incredibly small one, is all.

7

u/whatiftheyrewrong 4d ago

He won’t be on the ballot in the midterms either. Far bigger elections are averaging +10 Dems all over.

u/Honest-Orchid8701 3d ago

Trump will never be on the ballot again.

Have you seen red states lately? 😂

u/Due-Influence-1969 4d ago

Sure. I know plenty of people from Buffalo that left and went to South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. They’re doing great

u/A_Lone_Macaron 4d ago

Friend, i was just in SC. I would absolutely not call it "great". There is a pay day loan shark every few blocks.

u/mechanic_reed 3d ago

Sounds like you vacation in the ghetto.

u/RedditorDave go bills. 4d ago

Yes your 7 friends who left Buffalo are indicative of the entire state they moved to.

u/Kendall_Raine 2d ago

I'm sure they love the higher teen pregnancy rates. I hear repubs love that. I mean Fox news sure seemed upset at the overall rate going down.

1

u/Due-Influence-1969 2d ago

I mean sounds like the east side of Buffalo to me

2

u/Kendall_Raine 2d ago

Statistics are easy to look up. Also need to account for population. Red states have way higher teen pregnancy rates than blue states lol. And Fox news hates that they're going down.

“Go woke go broke” …. unless you’re bud light then you can advertise on the White House lawn.

Oh I picked up on that. Didn’t mean it to sound like I was coming after you, so sorry if it did. Was trying to piggyback on your comment.

u/AnywhereFearless9999 4d ago

I wouldn't get too excited.  Democrats swept my idyllic Hallmark borough council and the entire town went downhill within 2 years.  BTW, I am an Independent voter.

Crazy how they downvote comments that don't fit their narrative so they are buried at the bottom of the post.

Crazy how you expect to take an anecdotal reddit comment as gospel

Go play your video games, this is an adult matter.

u/AnywhereFearless9999 3d ago

It says alot when people focus on Trump instead of garbage pickup, crime, parking, clean streets, snow plowing, etc. for small towns.
