An all-out war seems likely here.

I'm sure those taking about crime rates are quite happy to vote for the prosecutor instead of the convicted felon.
I like it - it's funny stuff

It cracks me up when you and others ( several people her) Try to paint anyone that doesn’t support her as some hillbilly, white person with AK-47 hiding in the hills. 

This is not the case.
All Trump voters aren't hillbilly white people with AK-47s hiding in the hills,
BUT
all hillbilly white people with AK-47s hiding in the hills are Trump voters.

The US had a $5 million bounty on Shuad Fukr for his involvement in the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983.  The US should pay the IDF that $5 million.

I had a buddy in college who I'd drink with on Fridays, and we'd sit around and jaw.  He was a hillbilly, from somewhere in the state, had a jacked up Mustang with glasspacks.  Turned out he voted for McGovern.  And was quite liberal.

He didn't have an AK-47.  That I know of.  Actually, a real AK-47 would be illegal for most of us to own.

You can certainly buy a "look alike" in semi, quite legally.  That's why I said a "real" AK-47.  

I had another buddy who had something like 80 guns in his dorm room and the trunk of his car.  We'd go out shooting on occasion.  He had an M-1 carbine, which is not a Garand of course.  I bought my Ruger .22 target pistol from him.

Not every voter in Manhattan voted against Trump, and not every hillbilly voted for him.

I'm not really an AK fan. I much prefer to fire an AR if I'm using a rifle.

Revolvers are my favorite guns to shoot.

my daughter was shocked when she found out some black women voted for Trump

I live in a liberal leaning area of course, but the vote in this county was 74% for Biden last time, as I recall, something like that.

I'm against ALL overgeneralizations.
