New Bright Line Watch poll: majority of Southern Republicans support secession

Since various versions of this are starting to make rounds, let me express some caution toward the alarm over the numbers in the South. 1) Lots of reasons for saying yes to this question, rather than literal secession including general affect or just differences in ideology. 2/ https://t.co/Z8xZl7wbZC

Back to this are we?

For people saying "Bye Rednecks" remember, now as before, the problem isn't that white people want to leave, it's that they want to set up a white ethnostate OVER THE OBJECTION of the Black people who ALSO live there. https://t.co/bi4gpYoC5o

Republicans are now more likely to blame Biden and Democrats for the insurrection than they are Trump and Republicans

This is bad, They have lost touch with reality. It will damage the country. Republicans in Congress oppose the commission because they are afraid of the truth (and their voter base).

How can anyone blame Biden and the Democrats? Why would they not want to certify an election that they won? It makes no sense.

Most Americans don’t think Republican 2020 audits are valid

This won’t stop them from inventing fraud in Arizona and elsewhere. They will never accept the valid and results which showed that Trump lost. The audits are dangerous and will do lasting harm.

Vaccine polls update 6/13/21

VACCINE INCENTIVES
Incentives to get vaccinated like prizes or lotteries might move the needle a little, so to speak. But most who won’t get the vaccine say they don’t see incentives changing their minds. pic.twitter.com/qplv0sfitW

Americans are widely comfortable gathering with friends at parties, taking road trips, and going to restaurants, and more mixed about places that draw larger crowds and plane flights.

That comfort level is certainly up from this spring, before most were vaccinated. pic.twitter.com/CeqNfA5SWO

32% say they either don’t want to get a shot or are taking a wait-and-see attitude. This anti-vaccine prejudice is frustrating, because if anything should restore trust in govt, it is the rapid development and deployment of astonishingly effective vaccines.https://t.co/fpkQqyW0V5

New poll shows Republican Party is still a Trump cult

New Quinnipiac polling mirrors research from Trump's own pollster: about two-thirds of Republicans are in lock-step with Trump and only about half of the rest reject him entirely. https://t.co/o5BvSId6zV

NEW Q POLL: 66% of Rs want to see Trump run in 2024. 66% of ALL adults (including Rs) do NOT want Trump to run. 85% of Rs want their candidates to mostly agree with Trump. By the way, Q stands for Quinnipiac, not QAnon. Looking at the GOP numbers, it's hard to tell.

Only 7% of Republicans blame Trump for the insurrection

Alternative facts

Who's to blame for 1/6? Only 7 percent(!) of Republicans say Trump. More than half blame the Democrats or Antifa. We are truly inhabiting two competing realities here. https://t.co/OwAsSsbIN8
