From a good book...

As well as our own biases, there are actors in politics, the media, and social media that have vested interests in pushing a particular worldview at us, through a distortion of the facts, or just outright lying. I examine a number of examples and their connection to our misperceptions in the book, from politicians across the spectrum, but just to pick out one here, from President Donald Trump’s address to the National Sheriffs’ Association at the White House in Feb. 2017:
The murder rate in our country is the highest it’s been in 47 years, right? Did you know that? Forty-seven years… the press doesn’t tell it like it is. It wasn’t to their advantage to say that.
But there was a good reason the press didn’t say that—because it wasn’t true. It is, however, effective in emotionally connecting to his target audience by playing on human biases—our focus on negative information and our tendency to think that things are getting worse.
Politicians, media, and social media achieve the reaction they desire by, for example, emphasising vivid, negative, stereotypical stories precisely because we tend to be influenced more by these than accurate but dry statistics

Whichever side you favor, the fact is that Trump gets voter turnout -- on both sides. Let's look at the 2019 Kentucky Governor's race. Democrat Beshear beat incumbent Republican Bevin. But Bevin got almost 200,000 more votes than he did in 2015 when he won. Beshear got about 275,000 more votes than the Democrat did in 2015. That is an incredible increase in turnout.

As the cited article states, the 2020 election could set a record turnout, with possible 2/3s of eligible voters casting votes, an increase from 60.1% in 2016.

If that increase does happen, will it be more beneficial to Trump or the Democratic candidate?

That is the burning question and in what states.

It does the Democrat candidate no good to increase voter turnout in say California as it does Trump in Mississippi.

In a “battleground” region that included Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona and Colorado, the number of “certain” voters rose by 9 percentage points in large metropolitan areas that have a population of at least 5 million, and 8 points in areas with 1 to 5 million, while it rose by 4 points in smaller, non-metros.

I seen that article. the wave that's postulated is a slow wave. the california refugees pollute their new state within 20 years. other states may take longer like 30 years or so.



20 years that's how long it took to take over Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.



they are making inroads in Arizona. texas is iffy. more like purple.


as for the 2020 elections, they're not in the right states make a blue wave happen. a repeat of 2016 is likely.

I would tell the white opioid abusers that 72 virgins will greet them in heaven for every liberal they beat up.
