Did you retire before the 2020 election?
Yes
However, I still have old friends going back at least a half century in several large MSA's in the South and Deep South. They are VERY angry at the lies and half truths told in the media about fraud when no fraud exists.
I do not even listen to the far left and far right media unless they have actually been a poll worker in the past 5 to 25 years. I know as we used to send folks to jail and the fraud (if it exists) is microscopic compared to the 50's, 60's, and 70's.

81 million votes
Lets look at the math (simplified so I can do it in my head)
Current US population is over 350 million (legal + illegal)
Lets say legal population is 324 million (divided by 81 million) = 4
~ 25% of legal US voted D
~ 25% of legal US voted R
~ 50% of legal US ==>> DID NOT VOTE !!
I know lots of hardworking US taxpayers (all legal) who have stopped voting the past decade or so. I think this is the real issue yet the far LEFT and far RIGHT blow some up our arse to make us think this is not the real issue and blame it on the other side instead.

I am laughing at you on this and anyone else who believes the same.
I am saddened by the far left and the far right media spin doctors who are turning our great country into a collective of sheep and slave wage workers

right now it is a waste of your vote
If the far left and far right keep breeding sheep they will keep blaming the other side while they enslqave you and pick your wallet clean.
I am old school REAL God & Country type
I believe in Family
I believe in Faith
I believe in survivors, not victims
I believe in local / regional, not national / global
I believe in local in person community, not (anti) social media monopolies
I believe in hard work, not the dole (the very poor and very wealthy who don't work)
I believe in MEN & WOMEN, as GOD made them
I believe NOBODY is above the law
I believe Jesus told us to love, not hate
I believe Jesus to separate Church & State "Render unto Ceasar"

I have seen far too much death, hate, and anger to not ponder the next life more than most and question it.
I pray for Hitler (bad guy to see the light) than Jesus (he is the light)
My old man and all my uncles served with honor in THE BIG WAR. Some did not come back whole. Some family did not come back at all (tho one was a Bataan Death March survivor). What I saw and learned from all of them is maybe the Devil has to control a human (say Nero or Hitler) so we stop being sheep to the slaughter in his spell and become better children of God when Evil is sent packing.
Know lots of "Christians" sitting in assigned seats at the front of the church and robbing folks blind while the honest man is humble and on the back pew but actually living the word of God.

I am a bit more practical and live in the real world
When I was a kid I saw bootleggers handing envelopes of cash to local preachers to preach the sins of booze on Sundays. Now I see Billionaires "donating" to Southern churches to preach hate and politics from the pulpit.
I hate bullies
I hate hypocrites
Aside from that I can get along with most anybody because I know as humans we have much temptation and it is easier to give in than stand and fight through it. I also know I am on "short time" on this earth at my age and am not afraid and being a sheep till the end.

I love how JD Vance named the theme for the Harris / Walz ticket.
"Make America Burn Again."
In the summer of 2020 Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis and Harris raised money to bail them out. What a team!
You can't make this shite up!
This is the most liberal left-wing anti-American ticket in the history of the United States. I hope the American public will see thru the cover that the MSM will be providing them.
Be one of one hundred million, too big to rig. Make America Great Again.

Trump needs to save this country from clueless Joe Biden
Just like how we need Dan Lanning to save Gator football from the Joe Biden of football: Billy Gaypier
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024
MAKE GATOR FOOTBALL GREAT AGAIN 2025!

Unlike others on this board, I refuse to give up on the team and the coach before a play has been run in 2024. I am too big of a Gator fan, lifelong, to go into a season believing that we won't win. If you want to pull for a team that wins almost all the time, become a Bama fan. I will continue to be a Gator, not a NegaGator.

And Cheese, Ike and Nixon are not on the ballot this year, It's Trump or Harris. Pick a side, it's an easy choice for who is best for America or waste your vote picking Mickey Mouse or some other write in candidate.

That is some "old school" thinking there.
Hopefully it will make a return among the younger fans.

The Uaa has been taken over by democrats
Until the uaa is cleaned out you’re essentially supporting democrats

Wrong, I am supporting Florida Gators, the team I have supported for 68 years, or as long as I can remember. In all kinds of weather. There are no politics in me being a Gator fan. NegaGators come and go with the seasons, a true Gator fan always supports the team. win or lose.
Posted on 8/12/24 at 1:42 pm to UFMatt
I support the team, that’s the players
But the democrat boosters and coaches who have hijacked the program
No the caw cannot support those leftists!

Please take the sports talk to the sports threads, this a political thread started to keep ranters from bringing politics into the sports threads.

Helps you are old enough to be home grown fan in the pre Bell era.
These are the fans dropping like flies and not spawning the next generation of similar fans! I regret I have only 1 up vote to give.

Simpler times for sure. You pulled for your team, win or lose. You knew the players; they were there for 4-5 years because they loved the Gators as much as you did. Growing up and going to Gator games in the 60s and 70s gave me memories for a lifetime. Pride in your team, university, town, state and country was the norm. When the Gator band took the field and struck up the state song, "Old Folks at Home", it would send chills down my spine. Chomping Gatorbait at the visiting team as they took the field. Singing the national anthem, and the Alma Mater. Mr. 2 bits running from ramp to ramp leading the cheers. And if we were lucky, we might even win the game, . and cheer that it's great to be a Florida Gator even if we didn't. I would trade all of the national championships for Gator football to return to where it was back then. I'm a Floridian by birth and Gator by the grace of God.

That a some old school Gator fandom there!
Cocaine Cowboys came into south Florida in the late 70's to early 80's and at that same time Florida, Miami, and Free Shoes U hit a golden period.
I still remember you got 4 Hurricane game tickets when you bought a Whopper at Burger King!

Some things in life you have a choice on, for me being a Gator was not one of them. My Grandfather had season tickets since the 1950s if the stories are true. My dad played as a freshman at UF before quitting to marry my mother.
I went to my first Gator game when I was 10, back in 1966. When I married my wife, someone asked me what I would have done if she was an FSU fan, and I told them it would not have been a problem because I wouldn't have married her. I have seen good teams, bad teams, good coaches, bad coaches but I have never wavered in my support of the Gators, I have supported the coaches right up to the point where they had to go. Napier is nowhere near that point to me. No progress this year gets him a hot seat, no progress next year and it may be time. Go Gators, beat the canes! You can't go 12-0 if you don't win the first one.
