This is pretty wild, apparently Stevenson was mouthing off with the crowd on the previous play (the 15 yard out route that set up the Hail Mary) and didn't catch his cue to step up and cover that route.

I live in Old Town Chicago in a group of tightly packed townhouses. There was a lot of screaming coming from my unit and my neighboring units, so I’m assuming they’re all happy for me which is why we were all yelling in unison.

3 reactions: 1) Immediate Reaction: This is really sick. There's no words for saying things that demented in a political rally. I know we often speak in hyperbole but I'm struggling to differentiate this from some of the things the Nazi's said about the Jews in the early 1930s. 2) Comical Reaction: I see the minority outreach is going well. 3) Analytical Reaction: WTF are they thinking? Part of the reason the Republicans have locked down Florida in the past 15 years is that they've built incredible support with Latinos who came here from Communist countries (Venezuela and Cuba mainly). The Florida Democratic party is in shambles at the moment but if they ever get it together, this clip will be airing pretty extensively in their media blitz.

I’ve hard conservative friends forward me the memes about “Kamala’s disappearing accent,” and I don’t think they understand the thing they’re accidentally pointing out. Fitting into immigrant communities and being a mainstream American is really complicated. First off, I don’t think Kamala has ever changed her accent, but even things like how you pronounce your name have implications. I opted for a different pronunciation of my name way back in 1985 on the first day of kindergarten, but now when I talk to coworkers in India they’re naturally inclined to pronounce my name correctly. Likewise many more Americans are exposed to Indian American names are just able to pronounce it correctly. But it sometimes leads to awkward conversations about why I’ve been using a different version of my name for 40 years. I’d love to hear someone try to claim that I Americanize myself when it’s convenient. I can’t even imagine what it’s like if there’s two immigrant communities and American society she was trying to fit into.

The one reason I know this scenario won’t happen— If all of those events happened and Trump seized power, the US would instantly cease to be a Republic. Our foreign investors and trade partners would start pulling away from us almost immediately. Our economy would completely collapse. The people that have the most to lose in that scenario are the mega-rich. History shows that they tend to lose a lot during times of great upheaval. They’ll be on the phone with their paid-for politicians instantly to ensure their interests are protected.

Early voters used to be a major Republican voting block given that many rural voters have to travel further to vote and Election Day disruptions (ie traffic or weather) seriously impact their likelihood of voting. The pandemic changed all of that when it became a litmus test about your views on the impact of COVID.
