I tried to explain to him most polls til Election Day will either show a tie or show her up and not to put too much faith into them. I feel that her “popularity” is a media invention considering she lasted only a few minutes in the primaries, but there are plenty of people who will blindly vote for her like the “mean tweets” people in 2020. To say nothing of any mysterious overnight ballots come Election Day.
I just told him that the media will be pushing her harder than they did for Obama or Biden. I would love to see a landslide like 84 but ever since 2012 this country has sadly shown they will vote based on emotion and what is trendy in a heartbeat.
You get very mixed reactions, it's usually the people who have to live with it that get pissed off the most, the ones who live in white or generally middle class communities are the ones fastest to assume racism towards anyone with opinions on migration. Again, this is one of those points where you pay close attention to those who have to live with normies and leftists and understand how they think.
Is it one of those things that never really gets discussed beyond the side comments in support of migration by that one liberal? That's how I find much of the conversation in the US. Particularly if it's something like work, the women and soymen will throw you under the bus so fast over anything outside of the approved programming, and with HR being so infiltrated, you're done. I was a bit surprised to hear some commentary on the Indians vs Guardians (baseball team renamed for "racism" if you didn't know) at a work related event lately, but it was also all 40+ straight white men involved, a group that would find tattling over some words to be a pussy thing to do.
Lucky for me, my friend group says what they want almost to the level of here.
Yeah, this is very much the case and it's one of the reasons why my RL social life is in the total shitter. if I was really determined I could probably hook up with some of my old school friends and we could hang out like the old days but honestly given how many people in this country are full on NPCs sometimes not just normies the second I open my mouth and have an opinion I don't think I want to know them again. I'd probably make a point about how the police have been covering up child rape gangs if the riots were brought up as a topic and then they'd immediately sneer at me and write me off as a nazi.
My martial arts club isn't terrible but they are massive normies I've mentioned this to others but the topic of AI came up and I made the point of how they should be way more concerned about Neuralink and what that does Even though they were joking around partially their reaction was very much genuine of "That's what you think about on a monday?" and that killed that conversation fast for me because they'd probably turn me into the police if they knew all my sperging about glowies and how I chat to ex-military guys quite a bit lol. It was a funny reaction but I made a mental note never to bring up that shit because they would think I was crazy.
The social circles that exist in the UK are vastly different from the rest of the world which is why yes, even I'll admit being a Brit, British people are so insufferable sometimes. They're either a bunch of normies with a left leaning mentality due to MSM and have no idea what they're talking about the majority of the time, outright leftists from the most pompous societies you could imagine while trying to larp as hipsters or they're majorly working class.
Usually the working class are somewhat based but even they're not immune to the normie level of thinking because the white guilt is very much there in any conversation about migration. Even they'll go through the spiel of trying to appease leftists not realising that these people want them dead and of course, the working classes do actual work constantly so they're not exactly people who have a lot of time to socialise.
I really do believe that if normies in the UK actually picked my brain even if I was 100% correct on everything to autistic levels of detail they'd want me put in an asylum which is why I'm maintaining anonymity for as long as possible. Also as it turns out, I'm not even being paranoid because they're trying to jail people over online comments now.
TLDR: Britain is a fucked place for free speech on any topic and making friends RL if you don't fit in with a particular social clique
The idea that expecting people to assimilate or feeling like your country has too much immigration being racist is crazy
