Psycho-pathology of Trump Supporters

Correct. Most voter fraud acts are solutions in search of a problem but who's real intent is voter supression.

its why they were put on a court ordered consent decree decades ago and cant get off of it


they keep getting caught cheating voters and paying for it
 
As for the 2nd and 4th psycho-pathology of Trump supporters (Prejudice and Intergroup contact), to put is simply, people who live in isolated areas with little to no contact with anyone who is significantly different than they are tend to have the largest levels of prejudice and bigotry. This would explain Trumps support in the northern rural Midwest. The further you are from Mexico, where the people have no interactions with Mexicans, the more likely they are to be bigoted towards Mexicans. Particularly if they don't know any.

The irony here is that more northern Trump supporters are greater supporters of building a wall on the Mexican border than Americans who actually live by the Mexican border. Which is completely irrational as what happens on the border has little to no affect on them.

This is probably the best clinically diagnostic sign of psycho-pathology of Trump supporters. Fear of a nearly non-existent problem via rationalization of their internalized fears, including xenophobia.

This sounds very much like the same crap spouted by Remoaners, trying to categorise Brexiteers as stupid, racist and uninformed.
 
telling me an ID is a burden is ridiculous. But i would go a step further and offer free rides/ID to a registrars office for those that are handicapped or too poor to afford ID to make absolutely sure requiring an ID is not a hardship

How is it that India has supplied photo IDs for over 95% of their voters? That's nearly 800 million people, yet apparently a rich country like the US is incapable of doing the same!

illegal entry is a big problem.
Almost all are unskilled workers. They depress wages. We have no idea who is coming here at times.
That's a security threat.
I won't even go into illegal criminal aliens being deported over and over and coming back again and again

I find it incredible you blame midwest voters for Trump's electoral victories as being motivated by xenophobia.
It's about jobs, brown fields and of course Hillary's awful campaign

I get socio-psychobabble is a lot more fun to cite, but it's just a bunch of noise
Who are you trying to kid. Do you know what kind of jobs are available to illegal immigrants? If you think immigrants are depressing your wages than you've got bigger problems then illegal immigration! LOL
 
Hello Darth,

Just stop with the lie crap. Thanks in advance.

Strzok coordinated a leak campaign with the DOJ and if they violated the Espionage Act in the process that’s kind of a big deal. And it’s a really big deal if the agenda was to keep the Russians in the news so as to adversely affect Trump and/or get an SP appointed.

The text exchange occurred in April 2017 and Mullet was appointed the next month.

Those of us who don’t become irrational when the word ‘Trump’ comes up find this to be pretty suspicious. And if our suspicions are correct, the real colluders are in our own government.

Pretty sweet, huh?

I still don't understand how releasing information caused the Special Prosecutor to be appointed.

Do you believe Rosenstein acts according to public opinion polls?

I thought his job was evidence-based.

Even if this is a crime, and Strzok is brought to justice for it, that doesn't mean the appointment of the Special Prosecutor is in jeopardy or should not be completed. Is that the line of dots you're trying to connect? Sorry, I don't see that happening.

Telling me I have to provide an ID when voting when I proved that when I registered is redundant and not necessary, so it is both an annoyance , an inconvienence bordering on harrasment and a burden and since what problem does it solve? It doesn't. It's a statistically insignificant problem.

This is exactly what is meant by the "rationalizations based on fear" that Trump Supporters who exhibit the prejudice and intergroup contact psycho-pathologies project.

That's exactly right Desh. This is why Southern States were put on court ordered consent decrees in the 60's.

The fact that it's *only* the Reichwing freaking out about the nearly non-existent voter fraud problem tells us all we need to know.

BTW, when we moved up here shortly between the 2016 election, we got registered to vote when we went to get new drivers licenses for this state. I brought my old license, birth certificate, passport, and stamped snail-mail showing the current address. Then we got voter cards. That should suffice at the poll, right? We *still* had to show our drivers licenses. Two of the three polling place workers were our neighbors. lol
 
Hello noise,

If you don't work at unskilled labor jobs then your wages are not being depressed by that factor.

What is more likely to be depressing your wages is if your work can be automated or outsourced.

Automation has drastically reduced the number of available jobs. That's verified. Many displaced workers have gone into other work, flooding numerous other job markets with additional job-seekers, thereby depressing wages.

Blaming immigrants for what executives have done, to increase their stock price and their own wage, may not be the most accurate perception.

And how do you explain reports that undocumented immigrants, terrified of being found out and deported, take extra care not to violate laws nor find themselves apprehended? I think the reports show that American citizens are more likely to commit crimes than illegal immigrants. Is that a troublesome report? Should it be assumed it is fake news? Is that wise?
 
of course photo ID is a burden.....do you realize that the energy required for everyone to take your ID out of your pocket and show it to a polling official would be sufficient to run Taos, NM for nearly a week?......even more if there's a primary.......
 
Actually, people working at better paying jobs than unskilled labor probably benefit from having immigrants here because the products and services which employ cheap labor cost less because of it.

Eat many tomatoes?

Well with those millions of Canadians invading Michigan can you blame them? ;)
 
Don't you need ID on Ohio to vote? It seems truly insane to me that states have different laws for national elections.

Yes we do thanks to our Republican controlled legislature. It's almost as stupid as building a wall on the Mexican border. You have to show shit loads of ID when you register to vote and when you vote you have to give your signature that you voted. Simple comparison of signature at the poll to that you registered with would catch any ineligible voter. Considering that the incidence of voter fraud is so low it's just plain silly. It's no great burden but it's really just conservatives showing their ass that they can inconvenience you with a solution looking for a problem.

It's not a "burden", it might annoy you, but it's not an inconvenience either. it certainly isn't "harassment" .
The only burden might be on acquiring ID for those who can't afford it,or are too handicapped to go get one.
That's why I said there needs to be accommodation for those individuals

We show id to prove who we are. I walk in and pull out my drivers license (no voter card needed) -
and they look at me and the signatures, and hand me a ballot. that's it.

That's not exactly making me a beast of burden - it's a quick, sane check on the reality of who i am or not

not my wages. competition for unskilled/low skilled wages

they might have a national ID card? We do it state by state ( just guessing)

damn near everyone has ID in the states, you can't do much of anything without it, especially since after 9-11.
The Dems want you to believe there are these mass of poor people that function without one.
